    "head_matter": "Industrial Mutual Indemnity Company v. Armstrong.\nOpinion delivered January 3, 1910.\n1. Appeal and error \u2014 necessity of motion for new trial__Where error appears upon the face of a judgment, a motion for new trial is unnecessary to bring it to the attention of the appellate court. (Page 85.)\n2. Insurance \u2014 penalty and attorney's fees. \u2014 Where plaintiff, suing upon a fire insurance policy, recovered less than the amount sued for, he is not entitled to recover a penalty and attorney\u2019s fee. Pacific Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Carter, 92 Ark. 378, followed. (Page 85.)\nAppeal from Garland Circuit Court; W. H. Evans, Judge;\nreversed in part.\nstatement by the court.\nAppellee sued appellant in justice\u2019s court on certain accident insurance policies. In her complaint she asked for judgment for $70 and interest, also $10 per week during continuance of disability, and for 12 per cent, penalty and attorney\u2019s fees. She obtained judgment in the justice\u2019s court. And on appeal by appellant to the circuit court appellee again obtained judgment in the sum of $30, and also 12 per cent, penalties and $15 for an attorney\u2019s fee. Appellant moved to modify this judgment by eliminating the amount recovered as penalty and attorney\u2019s fee.\nThe court overruled the motion, and judgment was entered for the $30 and for the penalty and attorney\u2019s fee.\nAppellant appeals from that part of the judgment for the penalty and attorney\u2019s fee. The amount demanded of the company was $70 and $10 per week during the continuance of her disability. The jury returned a verdict for $30.\nJas. E. Hogue and Calvin T. Cotham, for appellant.\n1. No motion for new trial was necessary, the error complained of appearing in that part of the judgment which imposed the penalty and attorney\u2019s fee. 57 Ark. 370; 61 Ark. 33.\n2. The act of 1905 imposing the penalty in question provides that the company, upon failure to pay within the time specified in the policy and after demand made therefor, shall be liable to pay the penalty. A fair construction of its meaning is that a defaulting company shall pay the penalty when the company is at fault for the delay. There must be a just demand for payment 11 Ark. 44; 67 Ark. 562.\nR. G. Davies, for appellee.\nThe act of 1905 is constitutional as to the penalty, and it was properly assessed. 58 Ark. 407; 65 Ark. 343."
