LAW AND JUSTICE.

TO THE EDITOK. Sir,— As my experience may be a warning to other tenants, I trust you will grant mo space to briefly state the (acts of my case, more especially as the paper reports give the impression that I was sued far nonpayment of rent due. The actual facts are these: Ten years ago I rented my late shop from Mr William Wilson. Not expecting to leave it, I put in fixtures, among which were two doors, without getting a written promise (I got a verbal one) that I could take them with me it I left. About six months ago Ur Wilson sold the premises to Ur Throp on a plan which did not show a small bond belonging tome. This Ur Throp claimed along with the two doors, one of which bo dared me to take away. As a monthly tenant I had no reasonable right to pay rates, but I bad to pay HI 2s the month before I left; Mr Throp. although he got me to pay them by promising to pay his share, would not. tfhis is how I was sued (or balance of rent, as I deducted his share of the rate. The Magistrate remarked that I had not given any excuse for taking away one of the doors, notwithstanding that Mr Wilson admitted the door was mine. I built a bond for the purposes of my trade; it was not built on foundations sunk into the ground, but because two holes were found in the wall against which it was built Mr Throp got Ll2los for it, after the builder that put it up offered to replace it toy L9.-I am, ieto Jambs Nbh.
