GETTING RID OF A BAILIFF.
How to get rid of a bailiff is a problem which has puzzled a good many, but one way was shown last night which at least displays some ingenuity. It appears that for some time the landlord of the Shamrock Hotel, in Wellesley-strect, was behindhand in his rent, and Mr. Roberts, another ex-landlord, was placed in possession, and he had an assistant to take charge in his absence. After ten o'clock last night, Mr. Roberts went for a stroll, leaving the house shut and the assistant in charge. During his absence what is described as a "mock row" was got up outside the door, and the assistant rushed out to see what was the matter, but no sooner did he make his exit than the doer closed behind him, and he was left on the street. In a short time "the man in charge" came on the scene, but being unable to obtain an entrance at the froi.t door ho went round to the back, and effected an entrauce through a window, which he broke for the purpose, but he was quickly bundled out again, and at last accounts last night was doing a quiet perish in the hotel yard.
