the front basement story. Mrs. Pollard took
possession on the first day of October, and in a
short time afterwards she found that NJ. Bar
srett claimed the right of holding tIc0 rooms in
the baSement-the front and back-whieh sadly
interfered with the contemplated culinary
arrangements of Mrs. p. Examining the lease,
she discovered that Barrett had 50 wOrled IT as
10 retain the whole basement for his own Use,
and this.at once gave rise TO an " unpleasant
ness between the contracting parties, which
led to pJotTacted negotiation between Mrs. Pol
lard and her landlord. No satisfactory cOncla-
sion arrived at, and finally Mr.. Barrett
gaze his tenant notice to leave the house.
=. Pollard represented that she had been TO
great expense andtrouble in hitting up her rooms,
and had made arrangements for their permanent
occupancy during the coming winter, and would
not be dispOssesSed so unceremOniOusly. Last
evening she had occasion to go out on business,

premises. On her return soon afterwards she
