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.

If assignment is made to a person other than the Sheriff, it is good until and unless another assignment is made to the Sheriff. Majority in number and value of creditors with claim of over $100 can change assignee. Assignment must be filed with the County Court Clerk within five days after execution, and notice inserted in {italics} Ontario Gazette {end italics} in issue next after five days after execution; for default there is a penalty of $25 per day.</p> <p>BANKRUPTCY-There is no bankruptcy law in this Province, but a debtor may make an assignment for the benefit of creditors and ensure a ratable distribution of his assets. Executions in the Sheriff's hands prior to assignment are affected by it, unless completely executed by payment. On the administration of the estate of a deceased person, when the assets are insufficient, as on an assignment for the benefit of creditors, securities held by creditors must be valued, and the representatives of the estate, like the assignee, may purchase the securities at an advance of ten per cent. Wages to the extent of three months are preferred.</p> <p>BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES-These are subject to the commercial law in respect of days of grace, notice and protest. There are no days of grace allowed on a bill payable on demand or where to times is mentioned, but they are allowed when the bill is payable at or after sight. Notes only bear interest from the date of maturity, and then at the legal rate, unless the rate and time are expressly mentioned on the face. Loss of a bill or notes does not prevent collection, but an indemnity may be required.</p> <p>BILLS OF SALE AND CHATTEL MORTGAGES-Unless property changes possesion instrument must be registered within five days in the office of the County Court Clerk, otherwise it is void as against creditors. The affidavit of execution must state the date of execution.

Chattel mortgages must be renewed yearly.</p> <p>CONTRACTS-Contracts for sale of goods over $40 require part performance or to be in writing, otherwise they are void. Contracts made on Sunday (with few exceptions), and contracts contrary to public policy or of an immoral character, are illegal.</p> <p>COURTS,JURISDICTION OF-In money claims on contract the jurisdiction of the Division Court extends to $200 and interest in liquidated claims, and $100 in unliquidated claims, that of the County Court to $600 and $200 respectively, and that of the High Court beyond these amounts. In the Division Court a claim is lquidated only by the signature of the parties. Actions respecting partnership accounts, when capital is not over $1000, as well as actions to the extent of $200, in some cases formerly solely within the jurisdiction of the High Court, can now be brought in the County Court. Any action may be brought in High Court, but at risk of cost. Principal and interest on mortgages, billls, notes, bonds, &amp;c., can be sued for separately, though both overdue.</p> <p>EXECUTION-In the County Court and High Couty execution may issue immediately upon entry of judgment, unless stayed by order of the Court or Judge. Writs of Execution now against both goods and lands remain in force for three years, unless satisfied in the meantime, or withdrawn.

Any person in possession of property of the execution debtor may also be examined under order. On examination in the Division Court the Judge may order the debtor to pay the debt in such a way as he deems proper, and in default may issue an order for committal to jail.</p> <p>FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES-Conveyances in fraud of creditors are void.

Where defendant resides in one of the districts, if the writ is served in the winter time, a longer period must elapse. In the Division Courts ten, fifteen or twenty days after service, according to the residence of the defendant. After appearance motion for judgment may be made on two days' notice if no defence shown. In Division Court a two days' notice of motion for judgment may be served with summons.</p> <p>LIMITATION OF ACTIONS-Action of account must be brought within six years - on contracts under seal, twenty years.

They have the right of dower in all the husband's real estate. Representatives may sell by leave of the Court free from dower.</p> <p>REGISTRY FOR DEEDS-Instruments for registry must contain a sufficient description of the property mentioned, including the number of the plan, and the execution be verified by affidavit in proper form of a witness present at the time of signature.

A minor cannot make a valid will. There is a succession duty payable on property passing on death of owner which is fully set out in 5 Edw. VII, cap. 6, out. This duty can be recovered by suit. It is now determined by the net value.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline">QUEBEC.</span></h2> <p>ASSIGNMENTS-Any unsecured creditor for $200 or over may make a demand of assignment on a debtor who does not pay, and if the latter refuses he may be arrested on a capias. The court, on the advice of the creditors, appoints a curator or trustee who realizes and divides the estate. The debtor is only discharged to the extent of the divident.</p> <p>ATTACHMENTS-A capias against the person or an attachment against the property of a debtor, may issue before judgment on an affidavit by the creditor or his agent that the debtor is about to abscond or to secrete his property with intent to defraud his creditors, or that he is insolvent and refuses to assign.</p> <p>BILLS OF EXCHANGE, PROMISSORY NOTES, AND INTEREST-The law of Quebec on these subjects is the same as that of Ontario.</p> <p>CHATTEL MORTGAGES are not recognized in Quebec. A creditor can only have a lien on chattels by keeping possession of them. An unpaid vendor of chattels or lands has a privilege or preference for the price. In the case of oods sold to insolvent traders, this right must be claimed within thirty days after delivery.</p> <p>COURTS-Magistrates' courts exist in some districts with jurisdiction up to $50. The Circuit Court in Montreal, Quebec, and the chief town of each district, has jurisdiction up to $100, in outlying towns up to $200. Cases above these amounts go to the Superior Court.

In other cases the delays are long.</p> <p>EXECUTIONS-Execution against goods and lands cannot issue until 15 days after judgment, except on an affidavit similar to that for attachment above. Goods can be sold after 8 days' notice and land after one month. A sheriff's sale frees land from mortgages. Mortgages rank on the proceeds according to priority.</p> <p>EXEMPTIONS-The following articles are exempt from seizure :- Beds, bedding and bedsteads used by the family ; their wearing apparel ; two stoves and their appendages; cooking utensils and furniture up to $50; sewing machine if used for earning money; fuel and food for three months; a span of horses or yoke of oxen, 1 cow, 2 pigs, 4 sheep, plough, harrow, cart, etc.; tools up to $200; 15 hives of bees; three-fourths of workmen's wages; any money or objects given or bequeathed for aliment or on condition of their being exempt from seizure.</p> <p>JUDGMENTS-A judgment is good for thirty years.
