TENANTS LEAVE.
BALIFFS TAKE CHARGE. EXTRAORDINARY SCENES. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, Wednesday. Extraordinary scenes, recalling the flight of war refugees, were witnessed to-day during an exodus of tenants from a large, fashionable, residential house on the north side of the harbour, owing to bailiffs having taken charge. Vehicles lined up and carried away trunks, bags, and a jumble of nondescript impedimenta. Portly ladies carried an assortment of boxes, phonographs, cushions, canaries in cages, expensive parrots and Pomeranians. Hilarious young men were weighed down with suitcases, golf clubs and other sporting paraphernalia, and at either side of the main entrance- of the palatial building stood elderly, quiet, inoffensive-looking bailiffs, who were the immediate cause, though not the originating spring, of all the bother. The majority of the departing tenants were happy, and were glad of fine weather for. moving day. Furniture went extraordinarily cheap at the bailiffs’ sale afterward. Double beds brought 2s 6d, wardrobes 3s, tables Is, and sedan chairs went for 4s.
