The following, taken from the
States Of Monday last, is deci-
sion of Mr.. Justice Blanchard in
the Supreme Court, Leon Loses VS..
Segura Sugar Company, limited,
syllabus:
/. A contract, containing sew
eral clauses, evldencing a business
agreement between the contracting
parties, is to be viewed as a whole
and the intentions Of the parties
gathered from all theparts thereof,
to the end of giving practical ef-
feet to the instrument in the way
in which such contracts are Ordin-
arily understood.
2. Under the terms Of this con
tract, Held, That no complete
transaction as to the sole and pur
chase of the growing sugar cane
took place when the contract was
signed; that the cane grower die
not become the mere agent OF the
factory to cut the cane and deliver
it at the place agreed upon; thai
the caneremained his property and
was at his risk and expense unit
delivered, at the place named, II
the condition stipulated for in thu
contract.
| 3. But the factory was charged
with the responsibility of provid
ing at the place of delivery 9TH
tram switch) sufficient cars, be
tween specified dates, in which to
load the cane. Failure in thi
particular, the canegrower being
Iready to deliver and offering tt
deliver, makes the factory LIABLE
for resulting losses.
4. Where one party offers t.
perform a condition precedent
and is prevented by the other, th'
offer, under proper circumstances
will be treated as performance
and the conduct or commission o
| the other as excusing useless ct
fort to perform. Judgment amend
led and afforlned.
| The order of the Marine Hosp
| tai Service prohibiting imports
tons from foreign ports at whicl
| the hubonic plague has appeared
| has already affected the rice mai
lkets. Rice from Asiatic port
comes especially under the bar
since it is almost invariably tn
ease that rats accompany rlee cal
goes, and scientific men have d.
cided that rats are among the mos
dangerous distributors of the b.
bonic plague germs.
