custody. A seizure was aslo made at the
suit of Mr. Smith-Barry at the Residence
of Mrs berwick, William O'Brien street,

Thomas berwick, held from Mr.. Smith

repudated any responsibility for the
rent owed by her son, but this denial
would not be accepted by the Sheriff,
who, however, remains in possession of
Mr.. Kerwick's premises. Legal proceed
ings are threatened in this. case also.
