Observation-Disclosures and Tenant
A landlord leased certain premises to a
tenant to be used as boarding house at a
monthly rental of $225. payable $500 In cash
and board and room to be furnished the
landlord TO the extent of s25 per month.
Differences and disputes arose between
personal physical combat between them.
Contrary TO the agreement in the lease,
and as result of the quarrels. the tenant
threatened to eject the iahdiprd from rd 'n ne
refuse to furnish her any more board. To
prevent the carrying out of this threat the
landlord invoked the aid of the court by
an application for an injunction, ana IL
was held that court of equity cannot by
its writ of injunction, compel the perform
ance of personal services, such as providing
nutriment from day to day, and at appro-
pirate, seasonable and reasonable times of
the day; parties thus situated must be left
to their remedy in an action at law Tor

Foreign Law in Domestic Contracts
Though contracts are made every day be-
tween citizens or subjects of different
States, and questions under them are con-
stantly arising, the law that Is to govern
the determination of their validity is not
yet will settled; in fact, the decisions are
hopelesSly at variance. In recent years
there have been frequent limitations In
is the law that the parties intended. In
the latest case involving the question, re-
ported by the Harvard Law Review. an
English court has sQuarely affirmed this
view. The plaintiff, who lived in the
Island of Jersey, made there contract of
insurance with the resident agent of the
Sun Fire Office, of London. The contract
contained stipulation for arbitration in
accordance with the English arbitration
act. Agreements for arbitration are in
that the English law was the law intended
by the parties. and that it, therefore, gov
erned the validity of the contract.
