A CONTRACT" MAY BE MADE

When s oontr/u t is made by letter or
telegraph the question occurs, at what
time or by what act is the contract coirv
pleted?
The law in this conutry may be sum
marised thus: If A writes to B pro|>ofl-
ing to him a contract, the proposition
remains open until it reaches B and for
such time afterwards as would give B a
reasonable opportmnty of accepting the
proposition, unless before B atc<»i>t« A
withdraws the offer b> u subsequent let
ter or by telegraph. The offer may be
withdrawn by A at any time before ac
ceptance, or may l>o withdrawn before
tbe proposition re aches B. - For example,
if the proposition was sent to B by mail,
ft telegram revoking the offer which
reached B before the letter would pre
vent B from holding A by an accept-
anee after receipt of the letter.
It is not, however, withdrawn until a
notice of withdrawal reaches’ B. This is
the iinporTant point. Thus if A in Bos
ton writes to Bln New Orleans, offering
a certain price for a hundred bales of
cotton and the next day alters his mind
and writes to B withdrawing Ids offer,
* If the first, letter reaches B before the
second, although after the second was
written and mailed, B has a right to ac
cept the offer before he gets the letter
withdrawing it, and, by his acceptance,
binds A: but if B delays his aoceptance
until flit second letter reaches him the
offer is tb'4 effectually withdrawn.
It may likewise be withdrawn by a
telegram which reaches B before he has
accepted the offer; but if a telegram or
letter revoking the offer .for any reason
falls to reach B his acceptance will bind
A although made after the time when
In due course the letter or telegram re
voking the order should have reached
him. The principle underlying this rule
•f course is that A selects his means of
communication, and if It fails him he
must of coarse be responsible.
It is a sufficient acceptance on the part
ef B if he writes to A declaring his ac- -
cffiUmcftAofl jati. hialetkar into ttm port-
office, if the offer wae by mail; or if he
delivers to the telegraph company a tnea-
sage declaring his acceptance, if the offer
reached Mm by telegraph, and. the ac
ceptance in either caee is binding upon
A. although the letter or telegram may
fail to reach him. The acceptance is
complete by depositing the letter in the
postofflee or the message at the telegraph
office.
Bnt if the offer be by mail and the
answer by telegraph, or vice versa, the
contract is not complete until B’s accept
ance reaches A. Applying the rule that
bfi who selects his means of communica
tion vouches for It, it would follow that
if thv acceptance sent by telegraph of
an offer Vrhich came by mail failed to
reach A, the latter would not be bound
by the acceptance.

At the conclusion of a nuisance com
the judge summed up, enlarging at por
tentous length on a definition of the of
fense and tha various element# that were
required in proof of It, until the jury be
came thoroughly tired of listening to
him. When he had concluded he said:
M I will retire while yon are delil)erat
ing on your verdict, which require# much
consideration; but I hope you understand
the various points 1 have submitted to
you."
■’Oh, yea, my lord," said the foreman;
“W© are all agreed that we never knew
before what a nuisance was until we
heard your lordship’s summing up,”—

We commend to conveyancers the fol
lowing specimen of legal acumen copied
from the records in the office of the au
ditor of Clarke county, Washington. In
a conveyance of land is embodied a bill
of Mile of some live stock, and the de-
Ticriptfdh of the two kinds of property is
rather droll. The following is copied
verbatim from the records:
“Also that certain lot of land on the
Columbia bottom, bounded by land
owned by Alexander and others. Also a
white bull and twelve hogs west of tho
meridian line.”—Green Bag.
' ^ "Failure*' ami "Suspension."
“Failure” in a business sense means
permanent inability to meet one’s en-
gagemonta. “Suspension” is a temporary
inability to pay liabilities as they become
due.vA failure # is always a suspension,
but a suspension may not bo a failure.
In ordinary speech, however,^j$emr
ary delay in payments by a solvent firm
owing to a financial crisis in the money
market or to some sudden and unex
pected embarrassment is called a sus
pension. Absolute bankruptcy or iu-
•uiycncy is called a failure.
