The facts here presented are substantially the same as those presented on the former appeal (Tanenbaum v. Federal Match Co., No. 2, 102 App. Div. 524), and the judgment would. be affirmed on the opinion then delivered were it not for the fact that Upon the argument of the present appeal it was suggested that the justice writing the former opinion misapprehended the facts, especially as to the amount of insurance which the defendant was required to take during the first nine months of the term of the contract, and also in assuming that the policies which were issued after the fire were not new insurance, but simply to .take the place of policies which had been canceled. •
The contract was for a term of ten years from the 10th of Movember, 1900, and required the defendant to carry, for that period; at least $50,000 insurance for each year. It. is true the contract was modified to the extent claimed by the appellant’s counsel, which fact was overlooked by the justice writing the former opinion, but this in no way changed or affected the legal rights of the parties under the contract as there determined. It was then held that under the terms of the contract the plaintiff was obligated to furnish the defendant at least $50,000 of insurance per year and to keep the same good during the year, the defendant paying therefor on demand four per cent commission or $4 on each $100 of insurance. Under the modification of the contract only $30,000 of insurance was taken for the first three months and $40,000 for the next six months. This amount was furnished by the plaintiff and paid- for by the defendant. A portion of this insurance, $7,500, having been canceled before the expiration of the year, the plaintiff was bound to furnish other insurance for a similar amount *418without any further payment by the defendant. This he in effect refused to do by by insisting, when he furnished such insurance, that the plaintiff must pay therefor an additional four per cent on each $100 of the same, irrespective of whether it was issued to táke the place of canceled insurance or nob This was not new insurance. It was simply to take the place of the insurance which had been canceled by the companies issuing the policies. * The fact that more was on • merchandise and less on machinery did not change the situation. The defendant had paid for $7,500 of insurance, to take the place of which these policies were issued, and the plaintiff could not attach, when he furnished such policies, a condition that the defendant should pay four per cent on each $100 thereof. Defendant was under no obligation to pay such charge. This was settled and determined in the action brought by the plaintiff against this defendant to recover such sum, and for the purpose of showing that fact the judgment roll in that action was properly received in evidence on the trial of this action. The case of Flagg v. Fisk (93 App. Div. 169), cited by the appellant, is not in, conflict with the decision here made.
For these reasons and those assigned in the former opinion the judgment and order appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.'
