TnEnRare now seven pititioue for
the repealof the Scott Act before they
Minister of Justice. The Government
has decided that excepting in the crisis
of Westmoreland County, N. B., anal
Stanstead, gue., no elections: for repeal
of the Scott .Act will be held until after
the 15th of .April next as in moat cases
the Act will not have been in Peres for
three years until the 1st of Iday.
Whether or not this dcision will affect
the petition for the repeal of the Act
in Halton County will depend upon
the view which the Government may
teke of the objections taken. by the fr e
ends of the.ureesure to the doeuinent,
filedby its opponents. It has ' been
alleged drat the petition is zadiGally d -
fective, and that the Government has
been favorable to amending it, but can-
not get the consent of those xn favor of
the continuance of prohibitioe, `° When
this contest in Helton comet, it will be
a. tough one, and will he looked upon
by other conr>tituences in the light of
a test case. Thiscounty was the fret
in. Ontario to adopt the Scott .Act, and
two and a half years ago reaffirmed its
decision.
A Caw. or &le n ]+amort es may be
looked for as a result of the downfall
of biesers, S. W. MaeMaater k Co., as.
it is stated that the cam vz that 6roe'e
failure was its attempt to carry too

that the common Ise, makes it a Jar chants' teemeees # nd it easy to force
ceny to take A newspaper and refuse to 'large araoui is of. eron undesirable
pay for it. Just how the law is en- goods upon them, Ther end in suet, a
forced is sozaethingwith which people ease soon come&
generally* are not very well acquainted.
-According to one of our exchanges,
the publisher o£ a newspaper in Huron
+County; a short time ago, brought suit
:againsta man because he refused to
,pay for the paper, on the•ground that
he had ordered a former proprietor of
tholes -per to discontinue it. The Judge
.held, that, this was nota valid defence,,
wad defendant was bound- to. pay for•
the time he had received the paper and•
until he had paid all arrears due for
subscription. The publisher of a pap-
er an. the state of Illinois, a short time
since, brought suit against forty. -three
men who would not pay for their sub-
scription, with the result that it obtain-
ed judgment in every case for the- a-
mount of claim, if these judgment
debtors, twenty-eight made affidavit
that they owned no more than the law•
allowed, and accordingly, attachments -
were avoided. But this did not end
the case. Under a decision of the
Supreme Court, they were arrested for
petty larceny, and bound over in the
sum of three hundred dollars each.
In Canada the law provides that any. -
•one taking a newspaper or other peri-
odical from the post office three times
in succession is held liable to subscript
ion to the same whither he has sub-
scribed or not We regret to say that
quite a number have been taking the
• Exeter ADVOCATE since its first issue,
(June 9th, 1887.) and are now ordering
•: ' it discontieued and refusing to pay for
it, and trying every way to evade' pity-
-znent. We have no desire to follow
elle course adopted by our
. cont repor
aries, but must gently hint to those
Whom this matter applies thatit tabes
money to run a newspaper, and the
;amount due us must be. forthcoming,
.otherwise we may have to adopt stria -
gent measures to secure .our tights.
Bow many will take the hint 1 We
have no objections to any person stop-
iping their paper providing they have
paid for it, but when a paper has been
-taken seven months or a year from the
postoffiee by parties to whom addressed
;and then refusing to pay for it on the
,ground that they never ordered it, the.
law of Canada mattes it an honest debt
'•' ,and can be collected according to the
Statutes.
Tna Manitoba- members of 'Parlia-
ment are said to be dissatisfied at the
postponement of the opening of the
House; They had the remedy in their
own hands, in' a' measure. If they
could have prevailed upon their breth-
ern in the Local Legislatureto tell Sir
Charles Tupper to go about his busi-
ness when he announced his intention
to go to Winnipeg stud wirepult for the
Ottawa centralizers, they would' hale
materially aided in hurrying forward
the meeting of Parliament.
