LAW RELATING TO NEWSPAPERS.

1. Subscribers who do not giA'e express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until arrears are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect to continue to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed they are held responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them to be discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publishers, and the papers are sent to their former direction, they are responsible. 5. The Courts haA'o decided that "refusing to take periodicals from the office, or remoA'ing or leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. ' 6. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it, whether he has

ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber.

7. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publisher at the end of their time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorised to send it in, and the subscriber Avill be responsible until an express notice, with payment of arrears, is sent to the publisher.
