of the house in question and knock at

stated to the servant that a friend of
the familv's had arranged" about the

When entrance has been once OBJ
tanned the brokers mans" troubles
are by no means invariably at al end,

at times inclined to take the law into
their own hands, totally regardless of
the consequences, and eject the unfortu-

Occasions have been known in which
brokers' men, in the execution of their

obtaining possession" is by no means
so easy as might be supposed.
