The OFFER.

The NEWS proposes to send at its own
expense representative Rhode Island
workingman to Great Britain TO report
upon the condition of workingmen there.
IL will pay all his expenses and furnish
him with guide books and all necessary
information and assistance in laying out
his route. He will start some time in May
and will have time enough TO do great
deal of sightseeing besides investigating
huts and novels and tenements. England

deal of work and play too can be crowded
into trip of fairly generous duration.

POPULAR TALK ON Law.
Ancient Custom Of Handsale, From
Which Grew the Giving Of
Earnest.
Part Payment Must Be Made, Of
Earnest Given, to Bind a
Bargain.
An Englishman's Foolish Contract That
Was Void-Addross by Chancellor
sprague. of Detroit.

There was an an cient custom, which was
deemed more or less necessary, for con-
tracing parties to shake hands to signify
the completion of the bargain. It was
sailed handsale. The giving of earnest fol-
lowed this custom. From early authorities
1t may be learned that the earnest formed
part of the purchase price. Tt was given
only as a token. Tt might consist of a ring
or any article of value. The
custom was suited to the manners of nm
lettered ages, and is now almost fallen into
'disuse. The words are not in the statutes
OF many OF the states, but the statutes of
most Of the states declare that unless the
buyer, at the time of the contract, pay some
part of the purchase money, or give
something in earnest to bind the bargain.
1t is void; and it is held that mere tender
of earnest, or part payment, is not suhi-
oient. The earnest must be given, or part
payment must be made. at the time
of the making of the contract.
It will be understood, however,
that if there be a sufficient memorandum in
writing. signed by the parties. the contract
will be binding under the statute known as
model of all subsequent statutes, was passed
IN the twenty-ninth year of Charles the
Second, 1877. The seventeenth section
reads rs follows: And be it further enacted

The facts are: Thornborow met Whitacre
and said: lie us strike a bargain. If I
pay you q g5 note down now. will you give
me two rye oorns next Monday, four on
Monday week, eight on Monday fortnight,
and go on, doubling it every Monday for q

Whitacre quickly accepted the offer.
When, however, he came to calculate the
amount of rye he would have to deliver,
ne found it came to more than was grown
in q year in all England. Thornborow
sued Whitac'e for failure to perform his
agreement. The court said tho contract
was foolish, but WAS valid. The defendant
claimed the contract was an %"impossible
