Mr. Sergeant Peel now showed cause against the rule ; eon tending that the verdict ought not be dinteibed, as the Chief )deron had properly charged the Jury. The present was differ eat from a case of vacant possession, Mauritian's as the plaintiff had some fernitent in the house at the time of the defendeet's forcibly entry, by which it must be viewed inthe seine light as if the tenant himself had been in it at the time. If landlords wrre permitted to effect forcible entries in this wa►. the action of ejectment would become quite useless ; for so ens would incur the eapeese of a legal proceedin,j, if a snot* speedy re. windy existed is his owe streogtb, and to be enticed at kis ewe pleespra. Mr. flargeent 'Paddy was proceeding to support his rule' wham The Coert interrupted him, as they were unanimously of opi nioe that the defendant was justified in taking forcibl► posses sion; for the mead having held otter after his right of posses sion had ceased, the right was then in the landlord. Thu question therefore was, whether or set the defendant was jos tiffed in taking possession of bit, own house in the manner de scribed. The court use clearly of opinion that be was. Their lordsips therefore ordered the rule fu• a new trial to be made absolute. LENT MSIERS. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. Lod Cbief Justice ABBOTT and Baron G•III1LOW. ==re—Tbunalay. Feb. 47. at Aylesbury.

At D:von Qll:lTlClSessions an imprtanttlecision was made on. the subject of assessing tithes. The farmers of the impeopriate tithes appealed against the rate, which had beeti sucreased upon the tithes Iron. 4801. to 4501. which was neatly a tenth of this4lusle rate. The evi• deuce given for the appellants was, es that the tithes were tented at a recent letting for 4501.; that the composi tions collected amounted to 3881.; and the value of the tithe of the corn was 4101. *inject to all rxpences of compounding, collecting, and parochial rates ;_that the yearly value of the estates of the persona, selected as respondents, was MIA. and that they were sited at 8741. Ulu the other hand two surveyors for the respon dents estimated the produce of the tithes at 5001. and the yearly value of the ;lames at this time, at no more than bUYi. alteededucting every expence of producing. The appellaiits' counsel contended that the only sound principle was to make • pound rate mum the lett-able re lue of each description of property, and therefore that the tithes should be about 4701. and the estates about 1,1001 but even this would tit to make tithe property 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 occopatiou of the- tenant would not be rated at all, while of the tithes both pro prietor's rent and Whines profit would be assessed. The respondeuis contended that only the clear profit of the land, according to the surveyors estimate, should be taken into account. and consequently that they were already over sated, while the nth's were rated at no more than the produce they had proiett, frtsil. The Colin decided that tithes should stand fated at 3001. and that the 2041. taken oil should be added to the late 011 the lands. • For some time past the plantations of the Rev. Mr. Leathes, of Shropham Hall, have been iiifesteii with poachers, in consequence of which Mr. L. sent out seven men one night list week in search; they soon met with four of the gang.and a battle ensued: by this time several more poachers vane up to assist their associates,. snd the parties fought most desperately; but Mr. L.'s men, being over i etwered by superior numbers, were forced to flee, after hating been beaten and bruised its the most shocking manner. We understand that some ot them ate in a eery dangerous state. ...- .. 1t THE N M OD DIID.- WC have to record another i 111 l ancent the of the sad effects-of the game laws upon the mina's of the lower orders :—A poacher of the name of Linden, who resided in Oil pad.h of Ildgay, in n.r folk , has been murdered in cold blood by his companions. Three of the gang (the only persons supposed to have been con cerned in the warder) have been apprehended and lodged in Ely gaol: their names are ibi ph, Pickett, and Ni., cholas, and they resided in Feltwell; in Norfolk. From the testituony.of Rolph, who, we understand, has con fessed the horrid deed, it appears that he and Pickett and Nicholas, conceiving that Lasiden had given some infbnitation.of an offence co 11111 l hod by them, called upon hint in the night oft Wednesday lasi, with the view of enticing him out to murder hun. They persuaded hini to aceompany them to some , • .tiationi in Burnt Fen, in the parish 0: Littleport in the Isle of Ely, be longing to Jonathan Page, Esq. where they told Min plenty of game would be found. Shortly after they reached the plantation, they murdered him with a bludgeon, as he was s upping to set a hare snare, and immediately buried him. The grave was discovered on Friday hilt by a party sporting with Mr-Page, jun. and on opening it, the body was found. An Inquest was taken on Saturday, by Mr. H. R. Evans,corolier for the Isle of Ely, and $ verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against Ralph, and front his information the tither two persons have liken since apprehended, k appears that when the party proceeded from Lamle's% house to the plantations they took with them the bludgeon with which they murdered hum, and the spade used in dig- ging the pave Complaints against the new Turnpike Act are uni. vernal. la is certainly, at any rate, illotmed, consider ing the existing distress, granting cress it. prospective utility, which, however, is far boat being generally al lowed.

The scene which presented itself WAS one of• dreadful confusion: the cries of those who-were injured were distressing in the extreme. Assistance being ob tained, they were with conaiderable-diffiaulty rattricated,. and it was found that a child had been killed, one poor woman hail both thighs broken,. • or musuaore had I sustained fractures, and many were otherwise injured.— They were conveyed to the hospital immediately, and the utmost attention afkoded them.. On Sunday meaning lataohe benefit of the New Marriage 'Act was displayed in a singular circumstance. which .occurred in a parish church in the vicinity of Reephant. Norfolk. A; young couple presented them selves at the altar with the intention of there plighting and exchanging those vows which the dreaded destroyer alone could dissolve; and long did the time appear which it was necessary to await the arrival of the mi• slider to the anxious swain and the timid blushing in tended bride! But so blind is every votary of the ally urchin, whose influence may be supposed to have led them thither, that any obstacle to their promised union was not tl ght of till the arrival of the clergyman dispelled their visions of bliss by pronouncing it impos 'sible to unite them,, as they were one day too late, se cording to the time Mentioned in the Marriage Act,. frona.the puldishing.of their bans. They gazed um each • other (or some moments as if a tale unreal had met their ears; when the man. recollectin; it was useless to complain, .smiling, thanked the clergyman and left the church, whik his fair intended partner pathetically la mented the sail event, exclaiming—" Hang the Saw Marriage Act, and those who made it." PAIN IN Tin Eta.—A violent lain in the ear has for some tune been prevalent, arid particularly amongst children, extending like an epidemic through entire fa. milks. The moat effectual- remedy yet discovered Is a small close of garlic, steeped for a few minutes in warm salad oil, and put into the ear rolled op in muslin or thin linen. in some time the garlic is reduced to a pulp;. and having accomplished its object, should be replaced with cotton, to prevent the patient taking cold. An inqoest was held last week of the body. of Alex. Newton, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Ducknell, tanner, of Crooombe, who was (wind dead in the snow, on Satorilay week.

At Crontbe Florey he blipped off a bridge, incrusted with ice and snow, auto an unfrozen stream, I buil after extricating himser, received from a neigh ' bowing cottage a little warm wine, being mach be numbed with cold. He then proceeded, and about Iwo miles further, at a place called Seven Ash, fell into deep snow. The traces lie made in attempting to recover himself were observed for several yards; but he was at length overpowered with cold and fatigue, anal was found the next morning on his hands and knee—she position in which death had seized him in his last struggles for extrication. The Coroner returned a verdiet—n Hied by the inclemency of the weather."' It did not appear that the deccased'i istislintime was attributable to races: sive drinking, as, when he arrived to the Lethbridge Arms, he appeared quite sober, and the refreshment lie there had was extremely moderate.
