Reward

Compare Pbemium; Prize. 1.

WTiere a liberal reward was offered for information leading to the apprehension of a fugitive from j ustice, and a specific smn for his apprehension, it was held that a party giving the information which led to the arrest was entitled to the " reward," but not to the specific sum, imlesshe, in fact, apprehended the fugitive, or the arrest was made by his agents.* Where an offer of a reward is made by public proclamation, before rights have accrued under it, it may be withdrawn through the channel in which it was made. No contract arises under such an offer until its terms are complied with. That the claimant was ignorant of its withdrawal is immaterial.* Compare
