The Row with Pool.

The row between the society and Police
Magistrate Pool is over the occupancy of
Il room at the Norkyille court. The agent
of the society has used it for wears but
Pool ordered him out the other day and,
assisted by his chief clerk, with his own
hands removed the society's furniture and
changed the lock, so that the next morn

found it impossible to do So Later the
society man outwittcd the judge and got
into the room.
Unless there is capitulation on one side
or the other this row. which does not seem
to be finished yet, will furnish many spicy
episodes. Those who enjoy a scrap be-
