THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

!. Subscribers who do not give express no
tice TO the contrary, are considered as wishing
to continue their subscription.
.. If subscribers order the discortinuancs Of
their newspapers, the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
5. If subscribers, neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the offices to which they are
directed, they held responsible till they
have settled the BILL and ordered them discon-
tinucd.
4. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers, and the pa
pers are sent to the former direction, they are
held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to
take periodicals from the Office, or removing

| evidence of intentional fraud.
