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. Writs may e renewed from times to time for periods of three years each renewal. Lands cannot be sold for one year from the time the writ is delivered to the Sheriff, but debtors' lands are bound from date of delivery of writ to Sheriff.</p> <p>EXEMPTIONS-The exemptions from seizure under execution and distress are enumerated in the Revised Statutes, Chap. 64, and consist generally of::</p> <p>1. Beds, bedding and bedsteads in ordinary use.</p> <p>2. Necessary and ordinary wearing apparel.</p> <p>3. One cooking stove with pipes, one heating stove with pipes, sewing machine, 30 vols. books, all spinning wheeles and weaving looms, and a large number of articles of furniture, cooking utensils, etc., in all not to exceed the value of $150.</p> <p>4.

Tools and implements of, or chattels ordinarily used in the debtor's occupation, to the value of $100.</p> <p>7. Bees reared and kept in hives to the extent of 15 hives. The debtor may elect to take the proceeds of the sale of these up to $100. On death of the debtor these goods go to the widow and family.</p> <p>EXAMINATION OF JUDGMENT DEBTOR-The judgment debtor may be examined as to his present means and also as to his property at the time debt was incurred, and his disposal of the same, and in the higher courts the transferee may also be examined. 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. Preferences by insolvents are void. Conveyances of creditors by debtors, if attacked within sixty days or made within sixty days before an assignment for the benefit of creditors, are presumed to have been made with intent to defraud or prefer.</p> <p>GARNISHMENT-Debts due the debtor may be attached in the Division Court at the time of the issue of the summons, but in the County Court and High Court only after judgment.

Interest at the legal rate is allowed on all written agreements and on all accounts where notice is given that interest would be charged.</p> <p>JUDGMENTS-Where a defendant, who resides within Ontario, does not defend, judgment may be entered in the higher courts ten days after service of the writ in the action. 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. Actions on the covenant on a mortgage made after 1st July, 1894, must be broguht within ten years. Part payment or written acknowledgment will extend the time of action.</p> <p>MARRIED WOMEN-May now contract, carry on business, sue and be sued, in respect of their separate estate, in the same manner as if unmarried. 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. Registration gives priority. Mortgages and assignments of mortgage need not now be registered in full. The assignee of a mortgage myst register the documents making his title, and the discharge must set them out. Wills need not in certain cases be registered in full.</p> <p>SHOP REGULATIONS.-No person under the age of ten shall be employed in any shop. No child, girl or woman shall be employed before 7 a.m. or after 6 p.m. except on Saturday or the day before a holiday. Seats are to be provided for female employees.

Shops are to be kept in proper sanitary condition and conveniences provided.</p> <p>WILLS-Must be in writing, signed at the foot by the testator or some person in his presence at his request, in the presence of two witnesses, both present with him at the same time, and who in his presence, and the presence of each other, sign their names as witnesses. A legacy or devise to a witness, or to a husband or wife of a witness, is void. An executor may be a proper witness. Wills are revoked by marriage, with some exceptions. 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. Parties to a suit can give evidence on their own behalf. Actions brought on promissory notes, bills, cheques, and for the price of merchandise, are tried summarily.

All employees</p> <p>of a person whose property has been seized</p> <p>and sold by the Sheriff under an execution</p> <p>shall have the same priority in proceeds of the</p> <p>sale.</p> <p>{Indented} CONTRACTS.--Contracts may be either parol</p> <p>or under seal. Parol contracts require a con-</p> <p>sideration to support them. Contracts for</p> <p>sale of goods over $40 in value must be in</p> <p>writing or accompanied by part performance,</p> <p>or part payment. A contract may be made</p> <p>by letters and telegrams. Contracts made on</p> <p>Sunday (with a few exceptions) are illegal.</p> <p>Contracts contrary to public policy, or of an</p> <p>immoral character, are illegal. A contract for</p> <p>sale of land must be in writing. To make a</p> <p>good contract the names of the parties, the</p> <p>consideration, and the articles sold or matter</p> <p>agreed upon should clearly appear. Fraud</p> <p>vitiates all contracts.</p> <p>{Indented} BILLS OF SALE AND CHATTEL MORTGAGES.--</p> <p>All sales and mortgages of personal property</p> <p>not accompanied by an immediate delivery</p> <p>and an actual and continued change of posses-</p> <p>sion must be in writing, with an affidavit of</p> <p>execution and affidavit of bona fides in the</p> <p>form required by Act, and must be filed</p> <p>within five days (except in certain outlying</p> <p></p> <p>{MIDDLE COLUMN}</p> <p></p> <p>printed, stamped or engraved thereon or other-</p> <p>wise plainly attached thereto, and no such</p> <p>conditional sale shall be valid against such</p> <p>subsequent purchaser or mortgagee as afore-</p> <p>said, unless it is evidenced in writing, signed</p> <p>by the purchaser or his agent. The foregoing</p> <p>shall not apply to household furniture, other</p> <p>than pianos, organs, or other musical instru-</p> <p>ments, nor shall it apply to any chattels men-</p> <p>tioned in any such lien note, etc., shall file</p> <p>manufacturer or vendor within ten days from</p> <p>the execution of the lien note, etc., shall file</p> <p>with the Clerk of the County Court of the</p> <p>county in which the purchaser resided at the</p> <p>rime of the purchase, a copy of the said lien</p> <p>not, etc. A copy of the lien note, etc., must</p> <p>be left with the purchaser within twenty days.</p> <p>{Indented} GUARANTEES.--Must be in writing ; will be</p> <p>constructed strictly ; should be distinctly word-</p> <p>ed, so that no question will arise whether</p> <p>limited or continuing.</p> <p>{Indented} FRAUD.--Sometimes criminal proceedings</p> <p>may be institued for fraud. Fraud is always</p> <p>a ground of relief. It is a fraud to conceal</p> <p>a fraud.</p> <p>{Indented} INTEREST.--Where interest is payable and</p> <p>no rate has been agreed upon, the rate allowed</p> <p>is five per cent. Any rate can be contracted</p> <p>for. Interest is in the nature of damages, and</p> <p>it is not allowed upon open accounts, unless it</p> <p>is shewn that there is either an express ir im-</p> <p>plied contract to pay interest. Before a</p> <p>debtor can be charged with interest on ac-</p> <p>counts, a demand of payment should be made</p> <p>to him in writing informing him that interest</p> <p>will be claimed from the date of the demand.</p> <p>Interest is allowed on overdue bills and notes</p> <p>from the day they become due. Payments are</p> <p>applied first in payment of interest to date,</p> <p>then in reduction of principal. The practice</p> <p>of allowing interest on both sides of an account</p> <p>to day of settlement is not correct. Com-</p> <p>pound interest is not allowed, unless expressly</p> <p>agreed upon. A contract to reduce the rate</p> <p>of interest in case of punctual payment is good,</p> <p>while onw to increase the rate in case of default</p> <p>is bad. Mortgages of real estate must shew</p> <p>on thier face the rate at which interest is to</p> <p>be calculated.</p> <p>{Indented} PRINCIPAL AND AGENT. -- Principals are</p> <p>responsible for the acts of their agents.</p> <p>Agency may be either general or limited. An</p> <p>agent must be a third person, not the other</p> <p>contracting party.

Every person failing</p> <p>to register a declaration shall incur a penalty</p> <p>of $100. Persins forming a limited partner-</p> <p>ship must register a certificate in the office of</p> <p>the Clerk of the County Court of the county</p> <p>in which the principal place of business of the</p> <p>partnership is situate.</p> <p>{Indented} LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. --On simple con-</p> <p>tracts, promissory notes, debts and money de-</p> <p>mands, six years.
