Affects the Paymont ot Rental. to ‘ Squatters” by Occupants. A notice published by the Nelson & Fort Sh PE Co., ~| occupants of buildings located on tha, pany’s alleged addition to Ri not to pay rent to any other per- son than the railway company still con- tinues to appear notwithstanding the fact that County Judge Forin during his recent sitting in this eity decided a dispute’ involving rent practically throwing cold water on the notice. The case was that of Mrs. Mary Wright vs. George McAuliff. The defendant rented a building owned by §Mre. Wright and paid rent for the month of January in advance, but after the pub- lication of the foregeing notice, refused te pay the rent for February until an order from the court was obtained di- recting him to pay it to a specified per- son. The court decided that the rent should be paid to Mrs. Wright upon the expiratidn of the month, the only reason why it was not ordered-to be paid in advance being that no agree- ment to that effect was made between the plaintiff and defendant. Many ef the ‘‘squatters” are satisfied thatthe only reason for the publica- tion of the notice by the railroad eom- pany instigated by Corbin was to work mischief and create discord among the squatters themselves, They say they have good evidence of this as one of them who is a sub-renter will swear that an agent ef Corbin’s told him not to pay rent to the ewner of the building orhe would have to pay a second time tu the railroad company. ‘ pica A.0.U.W, MEETING.
