was n leader of modish folk by nature

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
II boarder by the month gives MS
landlord ten days notice that he VIII
move on the fifteenth Of the month. can
he. II he moves at that time. be compelled
to pay a whole months board? Q.
We are inclined to the opinion that the
boarder would be liable for a whole
months board. unless his month termi-
mated on the 18th, in which case he would
not be required to give notice unless 1t
was n part Of his contract that notice
should be given.
a contract from month TO month can
not be terminated after the month has
begun by moving in the middle OF the
month. after giving ten days notice, With
out the party being liable for the whole
month. At least. this is our opinion.
