Many persons who subscribe for news
papers think that unless the publisher can
show that their names are on subscrip-
ton list, they are not liable TO pay for even
the newspapers which they take out Of the
post Office and receive. But law as well
as equity has decided in favor Of the pub
Usher. Read as follows:
NEWSPAPER Ca sE.-The following case
decided in the Supreme Court al Bristol,
R. l., is reported in the Bristol Phoenix.
Jasper Harding VS.. Henry d. Wolf, ac-
ton of assumpslt for the recovery oil nine
years subscription to the Pennsylvania
Inquirer, newspaper published At Phila-
dclphia.
1t was proved ON the part of the plain
tiff that the name II the defendant was on
his subscription books from 1885 TO 1874
that the paper was regularly enclosed in
a wrapper directed 10 the defendant and
deposited in the post Office in that city,
Bills for the paper had also been forward
ed.
The defendant denied ever having or
dered the paper.
The Court ruled that the regular mail
ing Of newspaper for length Of time
was at least prima facie evidence of its
reception, and that receiving paper for a
certain time and not ordering the same to
be discontinued, was sufficient to hold the
person liable for the subscription price,
notwithstanding he may never have or
dered that paper sent. Verdict for plain
