Schroeder, instituted two suits against Charles E. witman, one in trespass to recover damages, and the other in replevin to recover oarreis of whiskey. Mr. Werner is a bottler at the southeast corner of 6th and Franklin streets, leasing the property from Mr. Witman.

In conducting Tiis business he requires a. large quantity of water, which runs through meter in the cellar. A few weeks ago, while Mr. Werner was absent Mr. Witman, with the help of a plumber, detached the meter from Mr.

Werner's iipe, and removed it to the front of the cellar, thus cutting off the letter's water supply. He applied to City Hall to have another meter put in. but they refused to do so without the permission of the property owner. Just at this stage of the controversy Mr. Werner's rent for March, payable in advance, became due.

He refused to pay it, claiming to have been damaged by Mr. Witman's action to a greater amount than the $40 due in rent. The, latter then took out a landlord's warrant in distress for rent, and as a re suit Constable Harry I. Kocht levied on 13 barrels of whiskey, valued at SS00. and carried them away.

The suit in replevin has now been in stituted by Mr. Werner to recover the whiskey, claiming the distress was un warrantable and excessive. It in eludes Constable Kocht as a defendant. The trespass suit was also brought to recover damajres for the diversion of the water. VIEWERS ASSESS DAMAGES.
