The Law of Newspapers
Subscribers who do not express a contrary notice are deemed to want to continue delivery. If they order discontinuance, publishers may send until averages are paid. Refusing or neglecting to take papers from the office makes them responsible. Moving without informing the publisher and leaving papers at the old address is fiduciary blame. Courts deem refusing to take or abandoning papers prima facie evidence of fraud.
