Attempted Acceptance Of A Deceased Offeror's Offer, James L. Parks
Attempted Acceptance Of A Deceased Offeror's Offer, James L. Parks
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Occasionally an offeree will attempt to accept an offer within its life as originally stated, but the act which he regards as an acceptance, and which usually would have been effective as such, is done after the death of his offeror. On this state of facts courts in the past have generally held that no contract could result from the offerce's efforts. The rule was to the effect that the offeror's death terminated his offer and his offeree's legal power to bind his estate to the bargain originally proffered. The reasons assigned to support this proposition are that every contract …
Motor Carrier Regulation In Missouri, John J. George
Motor Carrier Regulation In Missouri, John J. George
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
The motor transportation problem in Missouri has become acute within the last two years, especially over the routes between St. Louis and Kansas City. Pricecutting by competing carriers has constituted a veritable rate war, the most emphatic evidence of which is revealed in accepting in lieu of the published 87 one-way fare, for the 280 miles, the sum of 75 cents., Such conduct was not only injurious to the motor carriers, but detrimental to the railroads serving the same territory. The seriousness of the situation was recognized by the legislature in 1927, and the Motor Bus Act is the result.
Admissibility Of Evidence Obtained By Wire Tapping, Robert L. Howard
Admissibility Of Evidence Obtained By Wire Tapping, Robert L. Howard
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
The United States Supreme Court was recently called upon to consider a novel aspect of the problem of search and seizure and the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence. Several persons had been convicted of a conspiracy to violate the National Prohibition Act. The information which led to the discovery of the conspiracy and its nature and extent was largely obtained by intercepting messages on the telephones of the conspirators by four federal prohibition officers. The primary question considered by the Supreme Court was whether the use of such evidence of private telephone conversations between the defendants and others, intercepted by …

Restraints On Alienation In Missouri, Earl F. Nelson
Restraints On Alienation In Missouri, Earl F. Nelson
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Restraints on alienation are sought to be effected in two ways: First: No attempt is made to attach any character of inalienability to the estate, but it is given on the condition that it shall not be alienated, or until it is alienated; that is, it is subject either to a condition for the breach of which the grantor may enter, or to a limitation which, upon alienation, puts an end to it without entry. The owner of the estate may assign it as he pleases; he is not compelled to keep it against his will; but on assignment it …
Meaning Of "Hootch, Moonshine, Corn Whiskey" In The Missouri Prohibition Law, The, Ben Ely Jr.
Meaning Of "Hootch, Moonshine, Corn Whiskey" In The Missouri Prohibition Law, The, Ben Ely Jr.
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
It will be noticed that the language of this section follows that of section 20, save and except that section 21 omits the words "or other intoxicating liquors." a The fact that the legislature used the terms "hootch, moonshine, corn whiskey" without connecting them or any of them by means of a conjunction of any kind, coupled with the fact that at least two of these words, 'hootch' and 'moonshine', have as yet no scientific definition, makes the construction of the section difficult. Difficult as it is, however, it is a problem of the greatest practical importance. Although as yet …
