If order is given for more than one style, an extra charge of one dollar will be made for each additional negative, thus, one dozen of the $15.00 Cabinets finished from two negatives would cost $16.00, and if three different styles are ordered they would cost $17.00. 4. Write order plainly on the back of proofs you wish finished. 5. If proofs will not finish first-class you will find X on the back. Defects, or anything displeasing about expression will be remedied in finishing. 6. No photographs finished until a deposit is made, and the full amount must be paid before one photograph is delivered. We will not break this rule, for any person, under any circumstances. 7.

If order is given for more than one style, an extra charge of one dollar will be made for each additional negative, thus, one dozen of the $15.00 Cabinets finished from two negatives would cost $16.00, and if three different styles are ordered they would cost $17.00.</p> <p>4. Write order plainly on the back of proofs you wish finished.</p> <p>5. If proofs will not finish first-class you will find X on the back. Defects, or anything displeasing about expression will be remedied in finishing.</p> <p>6. No photographs finished until a deposit is made, and the full amount must be paid before one photograph is delivered. We will not break this rule, for any person, under any circumstances.</p> <p>7.

The foregoing shall not apply to household furniture, other than pianos, organs, or other musical instru-ments, nor shall it apply to any chattels men-tioned in any such lien note, etc., where the manufacturer or vendor within ten days from the execution of the lien note, etc., shall file with the Clerk of the County Court of the county in which the purchaser resided at the time of the purchase, a copy of the said lien note, etc. A copy of the lien note, etc., must be left with the purchaser within twenty days. GUARANTEES. - Must be in writing; will be construed strictly; should be distinctly word-ed, so that no question will arise whether limited or continuing. FRAUD. - Sometimes criminal proceedings may be instituted for fruad. Fraud is always a ground of relief. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. INTEREST. - Where interest is payable and no rate has been agreed upon, the rate allowed is six per cent. Any rate can be contracted for. Interest is in the nature of damages, and it is not allowed upon open accounts, unless it is shewn that there is either an express or im-plied contract to pay interest. Before a debtor can be charged with interest on ac-counts, a demand of payment should be made to him in writing informing him that interest will be claimed from the date of the demand. Interest is allowed on overdue bills and notes from the day they become due. Payments are applied first in payment of interest to date, then in reduction of principal. The practice of allowing interest on both sides of an account to day of settlement is not correct. Com-pound interest is not allowed, unless expressly agreed upon. A contract to reduce the rate of interest in case of punctual payment is good, while one to increase the rate in case of default is bad. Mortgages of real estate must shew on their face the rate at which interest is to be calculated. PRINCIPAL AND AGENT. - Principls are responsible for the acts of their agents. Agency may be either general or limited. An agent must be a third person, not the other contracting party. A subsequent ratification</td> <td>ing, manufacturing or mining purposes, and who uses as his business style some name other than his own name, or who in such style uses his own name with the additino of "and Company," or some other word or phrase in-dicating a plurality of members in the firm, shall register within six months a declaration containing his name, occupation and address, the style of his business, and that he alone carries on the business. Every person failing to register a declaration shall incur a penalty of $100. Persons forming a limited partner-ship must register a certificate in the office of the Clerk of the County Court of the county in which the principal place of business of the partnership is situate. LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS. - On simple con-tracts, promissory notes, debts and money de-mands, six years. On actions for rent upon an indenture of lease and upon a bond, or other contract under seal (except upon the covenants contained in any indenture of mort-gage made on or after the first day of July, 1894), twenty years. Actions for damages and penalties, two years. Actions upon any covenant contained in any indenture of mort-gage made on or after the first day of July, 1894, ten years. Actinos for the recovery of land, ten years. Actions against municipal corporations for damages caused by non-repair of roads, etc., three months, and damages caused to owners or occupiers of real property in the exercise of municipal corporations powers, one year. Actions against justices of the peace, sheriffs and bailiffs for acts done in the course of their duties, six months. The effect of the Statute of Limitations will be avoided by proof of a written acknowledg-ment of the debt, before the debt is barred, and the time will only run from the date of such ac-knowledgement or payment. EXEMPTIONS FROM SEIZURE UNDER EXECU-TION IN ONTARIO. - (1) Wearing apparel of debtor and family, bed and bedding in ordin-ary use by debtor and family, one cooking stove with pipes and furnishings, one other heating stove with pipes, one crane, one pair andirons, one set of cooking utensils, one pair tongs and shovel, one coal scuttle, one lamp, one table, six chairs, one washtand with furnishings, six towels, one looking-glass, one hair brush, one comb, one bureau, one clothes press, one clock, one carpet, one cupboard,</td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <h2><span class="mw-headline">MERCANTILE LAW - Continued</span></h2> <table><tbody><tr><td>one broom, twelve knives, twelve forks, twelve plates, twelve teacups, twelve saucers, one sugar basin, one milk jug, one teapot, twelve spoons, two pails, one wash tub, one scrub-bing brush, one blacking brush, one wash-board, three smoothing irons, all spinning wheels and weaving looms in domestic use, one sewing machine and attachements in domestic use, thirty volumes of books, one axe, one saw, one gun, six traps, and such fishing nets and seines as are in common use, all these articles not to exceed in value $150. (2) All necessary fuel and provisions for debtor and family for thirty days, and not to exceed $40 in value. (3) One cow, six sheep, four hogs, and twelve hend, in all not exceeding the value of $75, and food there-for for thirty days, and one dog. (4) Tools and implements ordinarily used in debtor's occupation, to the value of $100. (5) Bees reared and kept in hives to extent of fifteen hives. (6) All materials furnished to mechan-ics and workmen for construction of builind under contract. (No articles exempt from seizure for debt contracted for identical article.) Landlord has preferential claim for four weeks, if let by the week; two terms, if let for periods less than a year, but in no case to exceed one year. ASSINGEMENT. - There is no insolvency law. Assignments are made to trustee for creditors. A clause in assignment giving the trustee the power to carry on trade to realize as a going concern will not vitiate assginment. Trustee is bound to use ordinary business prudence in</td> <td>dealing with estate. Trustee is responsible for fraud or gross misconduct. A trustee can be compelled in equity to give an account of his dealings with the estate. MARRIED WOMEN can carry on business, sue and be sued in the same manner as if unmar-ried. Are entitled to hold property free from debts and control of husband, and can convey away real estate acquired since July, 1884, without husband's concurrence. Are entitled to dower in all real estate owned by husband during the marriage, and in such equitable real estate as the husband may die entitled to. The real and personal estate of every man dying, after the first day of July, 1895, intes-tate and leaving a widow but no issue, shall in all cases where the net value of such real and personal estate does not exceed $1,000, belong to his widow absolutely and exclusively. ARREST. - Arrest for debt has been abol-ished, but if a debtor is about to leave Ontario with intent to defraud or hinder one or all of his creditors in the recovery of their claims, he may be arrested under a writ of capias, and detained until he gives security for the claim. A writ of ca. sa. may be obtained after judg-ment. The writ is only issued upon order of a Judge, and the debt must exceed $100. A judgement debtor being examined as such, and not making satisfactory answers, may be com-mitted to jail by order of the Judge until he does make satisfactory answers. In the Divi-sion Court the Judge may order the debtor to make regular payments on the judgement, and on default may commit him for not obeying the order.</td> <td>ATTACHEMENT OF PROPERTY. - If a person resident in Ontario indebted to any other per-son departs from Ontario with intent to de-fraud his creditors, and at the time of his so departing is possessed of any real or personal property not exempt by law from seizure, his property may be seized and takes for the satis-fying of his by an order of attachment. REPLEVIN is used to obtain possession of goods wrongfully detained. Plaintiff must five security to three times the value of the goods before he can obtain them, and must proceed promptly with his action to prove the ownership of the goods. WILLS. - A will should express the intention of the testator in clear language. Every will shall be contrued to speak and take effect as if it had been executed immediately before the death of the testator. It may be drawn by any person. A bequest to a witness is void. No will made by any person under the age of twenty-one is vaild. A will must be signed by the testator in the presence of two witnesses, who, at his request, in his presence, and in the presence of each other, should affix their names as witnesses. Chari-table bequests in wills of testators dying before the 14th day of April, 1892, are only payable out of pure personal estate ; but in wills of testators dying on or after that date, land may be devised to or for the benefit of any chari-table use, but such land shall be sold by the devisee within two years from the death of the testator. Money charged or secured on land may be devised for a charitable use.</td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <h2><span class="mw-headline">Sittings of the Courts.</span></h2> <p>SUPREME COURT OF CANADA sits at Ottawa on third Tuesday in February, first Tuesday in May, first Tuesday in October.</p> <p>EXCHEUR COURT sits at any time and place appointed by rule of Court.</p> <p>COURT OF APPEAL.--There are five regular sittings of the Court, commencing on second Tuesday in January, the first Tuesday in March, the second Tuesday in May, the first Tuesday in September, and second Tuesday in November.</p> <p>COUNTRY COURTS.--Except in the County of York, these Courts sit twice a year for the trial of causes at the same time as the Court of General Sessions, being on the second Tuesday in June and December.
