*MONEY LENDING*

_A person who engages in other businesses who out of sympathy or pressure lends money to his friend to resuscitate his ailing business should not by any stretch of imagination be termed Money lender under the law._

*ON* *WHETHER* *COLLECTION* *OF* *RENT* *BY* *LANDLORD* *AFTER* *ISSUING* *NOTICE* *TO* *QUIT* *AMOUNTS* *TO* *WAIVER* *OF* *NOTICE* *TO* *QUIT*

*The fact that a landlord collected rent on a property still in occupation or possession of the tenant after issuing a notice to quit cannot by law or equity amount to a waiver of the notice to quit, even where the notice had expired and the tenant refused to yield possession in time. The notice to quit would subsist until it is formerly rescinded by the landlord and or when a fresh tenancy agreement is entered into.*

The Lawyer's Prayer:

Dear Lord, grant that I may be able in argument; accurate in analysis, strict in studies; candid with clients and honest with adversaries.
Sit with me at my desk and listen with me to my client's plaints. Read with me in my library and stand beside me in court; so that today, in order to win a point, I shall not lose my soul. Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me;
Our Lady seat of wisdom, pray for me;
St. Thomas More, pray for me;
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for me.

In the name of the father...son...and Holy Spirit. Amen.
