The Gilbert Kelly Eviction Case.
Gilbert Kelly, tailor, was before Judge
Pickett yesterday. Some time ago he rented
the lower portion Of the building at No. 81
Oak street from Patrick O'Farrell, an ex
pressman, for a month. Kelly got intoxioat-
ed and was sent to Jail. Mrs. Kelly had very
little money, and it is said that she and her
children were put out by O'Farre1. A friend
took them to her home and kept them. Mrs.
Kelly sent to O'Farrell for the key of the
house so as to get her possessions. O'Farrell
refused to let her take the key. Kelly got
out Of Jail last week. He went to 81 Oak
street and found the place deserted. O'Far-
relI refused to give Kelly the key. Kelly
made his way to the Office of the city attor-
ney, whs, after learning from him that the
house had been rented for at least month
by Kelly and that O'Farrell had consented to
payment for the same being deferred, advised
him to enter, as virtually the premises were
his own. He did SO, and Mr.. O'Farrell i'm
mediately caused his arrest. Yesterday
morning in the City court the owner of the
building told how he had decided that he
didn't want Kelly as a tenant, had obtained
the key from Mrs. Kelly and advised her to
pack up her effects and leave the place.
Kelly and his wife testified to the facts and
Judge Pickett at once discharged the prison
er, remarking to O'Farrell that it would new
or do for him to take the law into his OWL
hands, while Kelly was informed that he had
an excellent opportunity to get back on his
landlord in civil suit for false imprison-
ment, as he had no right whatever to either
take possession or cause him to be arrested.
