Justice Johnson, of st. Paul, has de-
cided in the case of the Odd Fellows, Re-
view against John Gaffey, that If a sub
scriber desires to have a paper discon-
tinued tos1nis address, he must firset pay
the publisher the amount he owes for
subscription, and make a request that
the paper be discontinued to his address.
The evidence in the case brought forth
the facts that. Gaffey subscribed and paid
for the Review for one year, and that
he continued toHaccept 1t after his sub
scription had expired. Later he changed
his address without notifying the pub
Usher, and claimed not to have received
