1. This is an unusual action. It arises by the plaintiffs suing an insurance company for the loss which they say they have suffered as a result of a burglary that took place. The insurance company refuses to pay because they say there was no robbery. The third party, who has been joined by the insurance company, was charged at the District Court with the burglary but acquitted, and the defendants say if they are liable, then they should recover against him.
