Under the law, the man who lets his subscription run along for some time unpaid and then orders it discontinued leayes him - liable to arrest and fine the same as for theft. It will be seen that many disputed points are dis posed of by these decisions which are certainly onl just. If a sub scriber does not want to renew his subscription, let him notify the publisher. The second decision given here - will be a eurprise to some publishers who believe they must stop a delinquent subscriber if ordered to. The. delinquent must pay up if he wishes to discontinue his subscription. Otherwise he is held responsible for it as long as the paper is being sent to him, whether he takfs it from the post office or not.
