in Mr. Sergeant Peel now showed cause against the role; tending tint the verdict ought not be dimwitted, as the Chief Baron had properly charged the Jury. The present was differ ent from a cue of racist possession, inasmuch u the plaintiff had some furniture in the house at the tune of the defendant's forcibly entry, by which it must be viewed in the same light as if the tenant himself had been in it at the time. if landlords were permitted to effect forcible entries in this way, the action of ejectment would become quite useless ; for no one would Moor the expense of ■ legal proceeding, ifs more speedy re medy existed in his own strength, and to be enforced at his owe pleasure. Mr. Sergeant Teddy was proceeding to support his rale' whets The Court interrupted him, as they were unanimously of opi nion that the defendant was justified in taking forcible posses sion; for the tenant her .ng held over after his right of posses sloe had ceased, the right was then in the landlord. The question therefore was, whether or not the defendant was jus tified in taking possession of his own house in the manner de scribed. The court was clearly of opinion that he was. Their lordsip♦ therefore ordered the rule fur s uew trial to be made aboolu le. LENT ASSIZES. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. Lord Chief Justice AssoTT and Baron GASItOW. BtlektogbaillShire—ThUntiay.

At Devon Quatter Sessions an important decision was made on the subject of assessing tithes. The fanners of the impropnate tithes appealed against the rate, which had been increased upon the tithes front 2801. to 2501. which was neatly a tenth of the whole rate. The es t. deuce given fur the appellants was, that the tithes were tented at a recent letting for 2501.; that the composi tions collected amounted to 38E11.; and the value of the tithe of the corn was 4101. suhject to all exr-nces of compounding, collecting, and parochial rates; that the yearly value of the estates of the persons, selected as respondents, was 17001. and that they werc rated at 8731. Olt the oilier hand two surveyors for the respon dents estimated the produce of the tithes at 5001. and the yearly value of the estates at this time, at no more than 5001. after deducting every expence of producing. The appellatiti' cou use l con tended that the only sound p r tple was to make a pound rate "peso the letishie va lue of each description of property, and therefore that the tithes should be about 2701. attd the estates about 1,1001. but even this would be to make tithe properly to take more than its just proportion. inasmuch as, with respect to the lands, the landlord's rent only would be charged, and the beneficial occupation of the tenant would not be rated at all, while of the tithes both pro prietor's rent and tenant's profit would be assessed. The respondents contended that only the clear profit of the land, according to the surveyor's estimate, should be taken into account. and consequently that they were alreAdy over-rated, while the wins were rated at no more that, the produce they had proved, 5001. The Ceitrt decided that tithes should mind fated at 3001. and that the 2021. taken off shoald be added to the rate on the Nods. _ _ For some time past the plantations of the Rev. Mr. Leather, of Sliropham Hall, have been infested with ',welters, in consequence of which Mr. L. sent out seven men one night NU week in search; they soon net with foul of the Rang, and a battle ensued : by this time several more poachers came up to assist their associates, end the parties fought most desperately; but Mr. L.'s men, being over owered by superior numbers, were forced to Hee, after having been beaten and bruised in the most shocking manlier. We u....lerstand tbat some of them are in a very dangerous state. THE NATIONAL REGIS' I M RDER.—+We have to record madder instanc i lol I hel I of the sad effects of the game laws upon the morals of the lower orders :—A poacher of the time tit Lander, who resided in the parish of Hilgay, Norfoik, has been murdered in cold blood by his comp a . Three of the gang (the only persons supposed to have been cm.- cerned 111 tite niardet) have been apprehended and lodged in Ely gaol: their names are itolpb , Pickett, and Ni.' cholas, and they resided in Feltwell, in Norfolk. Front the testimony of Rolph, who. we understand, has con fessed the horrid deed, it appears that he and Pickett and Nicholas, conceiving that Laiiden had given some 'information of an offence committed by them, called upon him in the twght of Wednesday last. with the view of enticing him out to murder him. They persuaded him to aceompatty them to some plantations in Burnt Fen, in the parish at Littleport in the Isle of Ely, be. longing to Jonathan Page, Esq. where they told lion plenty of game would be found. Shortly after they reached the plantation, they nsurdered Min with a bludgeon, as hr was a (roping to set a hare snare, and immediately buried him. The grave was discovered on Friday last by a party sporting with Mr. Page, jun. and on opening it, the body was found. All inquest was taken on Saturday, by Mr. H. It. Evans, coroner for the Isle of Ely, and a verdict of IN 0611 Murder was returned against ltolph, and troll his information the other two persons have been since apprehended. It appears that when the party proceeded from Linden's house to the plantations they took with them the bludgeon with which they murdered him, and the spade used in dig ging the grave. Complaints against the new Turnpike Act are uni versal. It is certainly, at any rate, ill-timed, consider ing the existing distress, granting even its prospective utility, which, however, is far from being generally al lowed. Its operation will be to put a middling farmer to the immediate expense of front 201. to 501. in the change of his cart wheels and tire ; and it is then said to be impossible, in deep cross roads, during the winter season, to proceed with broad wheels. In the menu time, coaches are allowed with their accustomed nar row wheels. The wheelwrights also complain of a very certain considerable loss on their stock in hand of tiara row wheels. Too many Acts of Parliament have been passed without deliberation, and this, in the country, is generally held to be one of them.

But so blind is every votary of the oily urchin, whore influence may be supposed to have led them thither, that any obstacle to their promised union was not tl gut of till the arrival of the clergyrnall dispelled their visions of bliss by pronouncing it impos sible to unite them, as they were one day too late, ac. cording to the from the publishing of their bans.

PAIDI 151 TIIR EAR.—A siolent pa'n in the ear has for untie time been prevalent, anJ particularly amongst children, extending like an epidemic through entire fa milies. ]'he most &mai remedy yet discovered is a smell clove of garlic, steeped for a few minutes in warm salad oil, and put into the ear rolled tap in muslin or thin linen. In some time the garlic is reduced to a pulp; and havi n g accomplished its o b ject, should be replaced with cotton, to prevent the mem taking cold.

The Coroner rewriter! a verdict—•• Died by the inclemency of the weather." It did not appear that the deceased's niiViartittie was attributable tit etch". sive drinking, as, when he strived at the 1.-ilibri Arms, he appeared quite sober, and the relreslimeut Ise • there had was extremely moderate. A bitch, belonging to a geutleman at Whitehaven, last week, popped two poppies, neither of which has four legs, but marks whine the legs should be. These are both likely to live. - 47.
