BreakiDg Open Doors.-hmongst the Foort
portions ~ our cltizsns there exists a very In
distinct idea of each olhere rights and this
causes quarfels, and na a consequence, trouble
aud innoyIng suits before tho magistrate. One
of those cases cane before Alderman Vincent
on Wednesday night last. Three probably
l upa tbur .,nta a
Elztbeth Lane oman and wife) and Sarah
Long, occupied house between them consis-
ting Of four rJoms. The man Lano being tue
possessor Of the house uud rentins the two
rooms back, oae over the other, to Mrs. Long
as u sub tenant. This lower room Mrs. Long
used as q bed room. At the back OF the house
lay the yard, and Mr.. Lane who had not re-
served the right, in renting, of passing thro'
the room, thought he had a right to break
through, and consequently burst the woman g
door open several times, pushed her away
ard once threatened her. As 1t appeared to
be mere equabble amongst neighbors from a
want Of knowledge of each others rights an j
the woman only wished to be protected, Lane
was 6ned % cents AID costs, and to b him and
bis wife bound over in the sum of $50 to keep
the peace.
