The Ease OF the Westbrook, N. Y,

was decided in favor OF the publishers,
and Mr.. GRAHAM paid 90 Judgment
and costs for a bill for two years. sub

The publishers admitted that Graif-

facta were not disputed, that when the
Weatbrook Globe bought in the West
brook Star, Grnifam'a name was on
the Star list, but without his orders,
The new management, finding that
the Star list contained names that had

ing to stop the papers Of all who did
not expect to pay. GRAHAM did mol
answer this notice, but kept on taking
the paper and then refused to pay, on

The plaintiffs argued that the gen.

for what he receives and uses, applies
to newspapers as well As other things
and the courts sustained that view.

knowing the penchant Of foreigners
for visiting in this country q week or
