In an action on a benefit certificate issued by a fraternal insurance society, where the defense was that a warranted answer to a question in the application, as to whether the insured had within a certain time sought medical advice, was false, and it was contended by the plaintiffs that the applicant had given a true answer but that the defendant\u2019s examining physician had erroneously recorded it, held that the court' could not say that a judgment for the plaintiffs was manifestly against the weight of the evidence.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Clinton F. Ibwin, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed October 18, 1916.\nRehearing denied October 30, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by John Sullivan and Margaret Sulliyan, plaintiffs, against the Catholic Order of Foresters, defendant, on a benefit certificate issued by the defendant insuring the life of the plaintiffs\u2019 son.
