The NEWSPAPER LAW.

/ All subscribers who d ; not
give express notice to the con-
trarv are considered wishing
to continue their subscription,
2. If subscribers order the
diccontinuance Of their period
icals, the publisher may con-
tinue to send them until all
arrearages are paid.
5. If subscribers refuse or
neglect to take their period
icals from the Office to which
they are directed, they are
responsiblc until they have set
tied their bills and ordered
them discontinued.
4 Subscribers moving to
other places wit"out informing
the publisher, and the papers
are sent to the former address,
they are held responsible.
S The courts have decided
that refusing to take period
Gals from the office, or remov-
ing and leaving them uncalled
for, is primafacie evidence OF
intended fraud
If subscribers pay IN ad-
vance they are bound to give
notice at the end Of the time
if they do not wish to continue
takiog it; otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it,
and the subscriber W II be re-
sponsible until an express
nOtlce with all arrtarageS, are
sent t. the publisher.
The latest postal laws are
such that newspaper publishers
can arrestany one for fraud
who takes paper ard refuses
to pay for it. Under the law
the man who allows his sub
scription to run along some
time unpaid, and then Or
ders the postmaster to mark
it "refused" and have a postal
card sent notifying the pub
Usher, leaves himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same IS for
theft.
