Sullivan subsequently went to the hut standing on a block of land adjacent to Mr. Cox* medical dispensary, situate in the centra of High-street, and which he claims as hfa own but which is now occupied by an old man who mends boofa aud shoes, and who pays to some member of his (Sullivan's) family a weeWv rental of 2s. He told this man "Mingh^ on Saturday that he must remove his prooertv and quit, as he (Sullivan) intended to reside there.
