Can be written either in ink or lead pencil. Notice of dishonour must be sent to all endorsers. Those not notified are released from all liabilty. Notice must be sent to the correct adress of endorder; but if that is not known, notice sent to the place where note or bill purports to be made will be sufficient. Cheques are treated as bills of exchange, and must be presented on the day they are received or on the following day. Notes and bills endorsed in blank are transferable by delivery, the same as if payble to bearer. Notes bear intrest during currency only if so stated. The loss of a bill or note does no prevent the collection of it, but if required the holder myst give indemnity before the lost note is paid. Notes and bills are payable any time during the day they mature. If no time is mentioned for payment, notes and bill are payable on demand. Notes made on Sunday are void. Notes and bills falling due on Sunday are oayable the next day provided its not a holiday. LANDLORD AND TENANT.- An agreement for a lease must be in writing; a lease, however, for less than three years can be made verbally. Rent must be due before it can be distrained for, If tenancy continues for a term of years, without any new bargin, it will be as a tenancy from year to year. No notice is required in case of termination of lease for a for a definite time. A full six months' notice, ending with a tenancy from year to year. A monthly tenancy requires a months' notice. A weekly tenancy requires a week's notice to end it. A covenant for renewal does not call for a renewal covenant in the new lease, unless expressly called for. Destruction by fire during the currency of a lease does not release the tenant from payment of rent unless expressly provided for. The landlord is required to look after the roof and outside walls, but the tenant cannot require any defect apparent at the time of the lease to be repaired. Defective | districts of Ontario, where the time is extended by the Act) from date of execution in the office of the Clerk of the County Court of the county where the property so mortgaged or sold is at the time of the execution of the instrument, otherwise they are void as against creditors of vendor or mortgagor and subsequent purchasers or mortgagees in good faith for value. Mortgages for securing against the indorsement of any bills or promissory notes or other liability incurred for the mortgagor (which liability must not extend for a longer period than one year from the date of the mortgage), must set forth the terms of the agreement as to the indorsements and the amount of liability intended to be created. Mortgages for securing repayment of advances to be made in pursuance of an agreement in writing for the purpose of enabling the borrower to enter into and carry on business with such advances (the time for repayment not to be longer than one year from the making of the agreement), must set out the terms of the agreement. A contract to give a chattel mortgage is considered by the Act to be a chattel mortgage, and is subject to the above requirements. A contract to make a sale is considered a sale, and is also subject to the above requirements. A renewal of chattel mortgage must be filed within thirty days preceeding the expiration of one year from date of previous filing, otherwise the mortgage becomes void as against the creditors of the mortgagor and subsequent purchasers and mortgagees in good faith for value. LIEN NOTES.- Lien notes, hire receipts and receipt notes given by persons purchasing chattels, where the condition of the purchase is such that the possession of the chattel passes without any ownership therein being aquired by such purchaser until the payment of the purchase money, shall only be valid as against subsequent purchasers or mortgagees without notice in good faith for valuable consideration in the case of manufactured chattels, which, at the time possession is given to the purchaser, have the name and address of the manufacturer or vendor of the same painted, | of the acts of an agent will bind the principal. Agent's authority is not revoked till revocation is communicated to him. An agent signing in his own name is not allowed to offer parol evidence to prove that he did not intend to bind himself personally, but parol evidence is admissible to bind his principal. A broker is not entitled to recieve payment for goods, while a factor is. A del eredere agency is where the agent in consideration of larger commission guarantees the price of the goods sold. PARTNERSHIP.- Each member of a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm, except for in case of special partnership. A special partner is only responsible to the amount of the capital contributed by him, but he cannot take any part in the management of the business. The act of one partner binds all. Partners are bound to keep good faith with each other. Partnership may either be for a term of years or at will. A partnership at will may be dissolved at any time. The death of one partner dissolves the partnership, unless provided for in the articles of co-partnership. The sale by a partner of his interest in the firm also dissolves the partnership. In the absence of express agreement partners share equally. If a partner retires from the firm, he should give public notice of the fact and notify all persons doing business with the firm. All persons associated in partnership for trading, manufacturing or mining purposes must register within six months after the formation of the partnership with the Registrar of the Registry Division in which they carry on business, a declaration in writing, setting forth the names, occupations and residences of every partner, the name of the partnership, the time during which the partnership is to exist, and that the persons therein named are the only partners. A similar declaration must be registered in case of any change in the partnership. On the dissolution of a partnership a declaration certifying the dissolution should be registered. Every person carrying on a business for trad- |
| drainage, causing injury to life or health, will justify a tenant in leaving. MASTER AND SERVANT-A servant is bound to obey all orders of the master in the scope of his employment; a disobedience of orders will justify an immediate dismissal. Both master and servant are entitled to reasonable notice before an engagement is terminated. A servant wrongfully dismissed is only entitled to the actual damage sustained; he must credit the master with any wages earned by him. The master is entitled to recover the damages sustained by reason of a servant deserting his employ. No wages due to an employee can be garnisheed (except in the case of a debt for board or lodging), unless such wages exceeds the sum of $25, and then only to the extent of such excess. Whenever an assignment is made for the general benefit of creditors, the assignee shall pay, in priority to the claims of the general creditors, the wages of all persons in the employment of the insolvent, not ex-ceeding three months' wages. All employees of a company being wound up under the Joint Stock Companies' Winding-up Act of Ontario shall have the same priority. All employees of a person whose property has been seized and sold by the Sheriff under an execution shall have the same priority in proceeds of the sale. CONTRACTS. - Contracts may be either parol or under seal. Parol contracts require a con-sideration to support them. Contracts for sale of goods over $40 in value must be in writing or accompanied by part performance, or part payment. A contract may be made by letters and telegrams. Contracts made on Sunday (with a few exceptions) are illegal. Contracts contray to public policy, or of an immoral character, are illegal. To make a good contract the names of the parties, the consideration, and the articles sold or matter agreed upon should clearly appear. Fraud vitiates all contracts. BILLS OF SALE AND CHATTEL MORTGAGES. - All sales and mortgages of personal property not accompanied by an immediate delivary and an actual and continued change of posses-sion must be in writing, with an affidavit of execution and affidavit of bona fides in the form required by the Act, and must be filed within five days (except in certain outlaying | printed, stamped or engraved thereon or other-wise plainly attached thereto, and no such conditional sale shall be vaild against such subsequent purchaser or mortgagee as afore-said, unless it is evidenced in writing, signed by the purchaser or his agent. 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 | 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, |
MERCANTILE LAW - Continued
| 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 | 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. | 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. |
