Mayall And Others v Mitford And Others: 2 May 1837

Action against insurers, on a fire insurance policy upon the machinery of cotton mills, containing a warranty that the mills should be worked by day only. Plea, that a steam engine and horizontal shafts, being parts of the mills, were without defendants’ consent worked by night, and not by day only. Held bad, on motion for judgment non obstante veredicto, as not shewing a breach of the warranty.
