CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.

The neighbourhood of Lloyll's-row, near Sad-
ler's %Veils, has been in the greatest state of •con-
fusion every day awl night tor these thri e w eks
past, owing to the loil,wing cireurnstnc'
Mr. Hockey, n ho kept a coal-shed and eh:mullet's
shop in Lloyd's-row, being indebted to his land.
lord saint considerable amount for rent, had an
execution put into his horse, and a man put in
possession ; the man being well treated, and get.
ring plenty to drink, was induced in the el ening
to accompany Mr. Hockey to a neighbouring
public-house to enjoy them Selves : here .Mr.
Hockey left him, and returned to his house, shut
tip the windows and barred the dimrs, and refused
the man admittance on his return. Next morning
the man, accompanies: by the broker who put
him in possessiim, applied at the Police-office.,
1-lattun-garden, for a warrant to enable them to
break open the door, and cutter ; but it appear-
ing from the man's testimony that he war not for-
cibly honed our, brit lett she house of hiS owq

accord, they vi ere refutsed a WHITAIII, and inform-
ed that they might watch until they found the
door open, and then enter : iu consequence of this
refusal, the broker has set a guard all nound the
house, in order to prevent any nonrishment going
in, and so starve the parties into the necessity of
forcing open the door; the house has been sur-
rounded in this manner now about three weeks;
but sonic of Mr Buckey's friends, by forci-
ble means, contrived from time to time to semi
in some bread, potatoes, meat, and drink,
and such other necessaries as the inmates.stooi

ir need of, by means of a rope, the parties
the inside throw Out front the second floor
window ; in 'consequence of this, several skin•
mishes happen bet wee,' the parties. Yesterday Mr.
Ellis, landlord of the Coach and Horses,
ton-road, was brought in the eus'ody of one Slack,
who had been a Itear•lhoroutilt and a common in.:
for Mer, before the Magistrates at Hatton-Gar-
den Office, charged with the offence of sending in
beer front time to time to Mr. Buckey, by fas-
tening the vessel to the rope which the parties
inside pulled up. On hearing the charge, Mr.
Ellis was immediately discharged, and the com-
plaining party were very strongly reprimanded for
attempting to starve the inmates, and preventing
the proper articles for their support being sent
in ; they were also. informed that, if they did not
take care, they would, front their illegal proceed-
ing, he soon defendants instead of plaintiffs as
they were now ; that if they intended to get pos-
session, they should take legal means. The com-
plainants left the office highly dissatisfied with the
Magistrate's decision, and returned again to their
post in order to watch an opportunity to gaits ad•
mission. The affair creates much disturbance in
the place, from the great number of persons who
collect about the house. The police were ordered
there yesterday to keep order.—( Times.)

Captain GEORGE SCHELDHEIM, a Naval Of.
firer, who was forwarded to England in order to
transact business for the Danish Consul, lett his
house.on Friday morning last, for the purpose of
going to their office in ‘Varnford,cotirt, to leave
some documents to he sent to Denmark ; he lett
them with the Clerk, and, after giving neces-
sary directions, went away in good health anti
spirits. He had property to a great amount in
his pocket wheu he left home, and being missing
ever since, every inquiry after him was Meth:c-
-lod!, till yesterday morning, when the body of a
man answering his description was found float-
ing in the City Canal by two lightermen, who
brought it on shore ; when, shortly after, it was
recognised to be the above Gentleman, by his
man-servant; The body lies for a Coroner's In-
quest.
