SOME INTERESTING DECISIONS Az UNITED
TATEs SUPREME COURT AS TO TIE
LIABILITY OF -BUBsCRIBERs.

1. If subscribers order the dsscon-
tinuasice of their periodicals, the pub
fisher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
o.. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they Are re-
sponsibls until they have settled their
bills and ordered the paper (cr other
periodically discontinued.
.3s If subscribers move to other
~pllaceswfthout, informing the publisher,
aidEtRe spapers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
! ~ The Court has decided that re-
fpsings to- take periodicals from the
pestoffce, or removing and having
them uncalled for, is prima facie evil
denee of intentional fraud.
s.. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continne the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
seuding it and the subscriber is respon-
sible until al cypress notice, with pay
ment of all arrearages, is sent to the
publisher.
g. The latest postal laws arc such
that a newspaper man can arrest any,
one for fraud that takes his paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law,
the nan who allows his subscription to
run along Tor some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused and
has a postal card sent notifying the
publisher Of such fact, renders himself
liable to prosecution, arrest and fine,
the same as for theft.
