Article content
Every Thursday, we present in this space a weekâs worth of randomly selected single pages from editions of The Kingston Whig-Standard, The Whig-Standard or The Daily British Whig from our vast digital archives, which reach back as far as 1834.
It could be the front page or any page from inside any edition, but we will focus mainly on the 20th century as the digital editions of newspapers older than that are often unreadable.

Richard Hooley spoke to us this lunchtime about exemption clauses.
Interpretation
He began by quoting from Andrew Burrows’ A Restatement of the English Law of Contract (which has recently been updated) and its excellent summary of contractual interpretation. Paraphrased it says:
Ask what the clause, “viewed in the light of the whole contract, would mean to a reasonable person having all the relevant background knowledge reasonably available to the parties at the time the contract was made”.
When doing this consider the (a) natural meaning of the words used (b) the overall purpose of the clause and the contract (c) the facts and circumstances known by the parties and (d) commercial common sense.
