#### Seth Sampson *versus*Henry Coy.

In an action of trespass for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of the plaintiff, and doing other enormities to him, he cannot give evidence of an assault upon him.

Thf. plaintiff declared in trespass, for that the said Coy, at, &c., on, &c., broke and entered the plaintiff’s close, cut down and carried away ten tons of his grass then and there growing, and broke and entered his dwelling-house, and took and carried away sundry articles of household furniture, of the value, &,c., and other enormities then and there did, &c.

The general issue was pleaded and joined ; and also soil and freehold in the defendant, which was traversed. At the trial of these issues before Thatcher, J., the plaintiff was permitted to give evidence, not only of the trespasses specially charged in the declaration, but also of an assault upon his person by the defendant, when forcibly entering the dwelling-house, and of a detention of the house and * close for the space of four weeks; and the judge instructed the jury that they might lawfully take into consideration, and give exemplary damages for, the said assault, and also the full amount of all the injury the plaintiff had sustained by being kept out of the house and close during the said four weeks.

The defendant moved for a new trial, on account of the admission of the said evidence, and the instructions of the judge thereon.

*440*Mellen,*in support of the motion.

The plaintiff, under the general allegation of *alla enormia,*cannot show an injury which is of itself a substantial cause of action.

*Fessenden.*

The evidence was not objected to at the time it was offered; but it was argued fully to the jury by the counsel for the defendant, as well as the counsel for the plaintiff. It is too late, after the verdict, to make this objection the ground of a motion for a new trial. (1)

(1)

13 *Mass. Rep.*513, *Curtis & Al.*vs. *Jackson.*

*Curia.*

The general principle is that, under *alla enormia,*nothing can be given in evidence which would of itself form a substantia] ground of action ; but such matter should be specially averred. The reason is, that the defendant cannot be supposed to come prepared to defend against any cause of action of which he has no notice in the declaration.

Thus, under the allegation of breaking and entering the dwelling-house, evidence may be given of keeping the plaintiff out; because that is a consequence of the wrongful entry ; and the time need not be specially averred. But an assault and battery cannot be proved, for the reasons aforesaid, *(a)*

A new trial was granted, with leave to the plaintiff to amend his declaration upon terms.

Special Situation Program for Fiscal Year 2013



 Exhibit 10.5 

EAGLE MATERIALS INC. 
 SPECIAL SITUATION PLAN 
 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013 

1. The Eagle Materials Inc. Special Situation Plan for Fiscal Year 2013 (the “SSP” or the “Plan”) shall be funded by:
(i) 0.35% of Eagle Material Inc.’s operating earnings (before corporate general and administrative expenses); (ii) the portions of subsidiary company and corporate annual incentive compensation bonus pools not paid out (not
earned); and (iii) the portion of the subsidiary companies long-term compensation plans not paid out (not earned). All full-time employees of Eagle Materials Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) or a subsidiary company will be
eligible to receive an SSP award. 
  

	 	A.	An SSP award is intended to recognize outstanding individual performances during the current fiscal year based on contributions that dramatically improve the
Company’s profitability or worth. 

  

	 	B.	An SSP award may also be made to individuals at Eagle or at subsidiary companies whose operating profit has been adversely affected by market conditions in order to
recognize superior performance of the participants at those companies. 

  

	 	C.	SSP funds not awarded may be retained by the Company for use in future fiscal years. 


2. SSP awards may be recommended by subsidiary company Presidents, Eagle EVP’s and/or the Eagle Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”). The approval of the Eagle CEO is required for all SSP awards. For senior executive officers who are required to make disclosures under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Executive
Officers”), an SSP award shall be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Eagle (the “Committee”). 
 3. The SSP shall be administered by the CEO, who shall have full and exclusive power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as the CEO may
deem necessary or appropriate in the CEO’s sole discretion. All decisions of the CEO shall be binding and conclusive on the participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any matter affecting an SSP award to an Executive Officer (including,
without limitation, any interpretation of the Plan or the adoption of any rules, regulations or guidelines affecting an award to an Executive Officer) shall be approved by the Committee. Any decision by the Committee with respect to an Executive
Officer shall be final and binding. 
 This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto, shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to any conflicts of law principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: January 31, 2017

Decided: February 2, 2017

Nicole Yvette Winston, Appellant Pro Se.

Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Nicole Yvette Winston appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil action under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), 1915A(b)(l) (2012), and denying her motion to reconsider under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Winston v. Office of Naval Research, No. 8:16-cv-01797~PWG, 2016 WL 4194188 (D. Md. Aug. 9, 2016 *&*Sept. 12, 2016). We deny Winston’s motion for a transcript at government expense and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

Subi_e.ct: CAPE A'R-PLAnS~I,JRGI:f .., . '" 

A travesfyin:good judgement has been made by the Clinton County Board of Legislators 

in voting out Cape Air in favor of Colgan, and can be corrected by your office exercising 

the needs of all those travelers that have used our airport due to the great service and 

pricing that our growing airport has provided. 

Bigger is not better. Service and pricing are the magnet that has created such a great 

Boston to Plattsburgh connection, one that has a great safety record, and one that has 

HELD the prices reasonable and constant. 

Half empty Colgan flights are costly to the taxpayers with their larger capacity planes. 

Subsidies are costly. Fewer flights with higher costs are going to chase the future fliers 

to Burlington or Albany . 

. Plattsburgh does not want to lose this Boston connection to a carrier that has not been 

locked in to a price range or limit, while Cape Air has put in writing what their price is, 

and also a far better schedule withmore weekly flights than Colgan .. 

Do what is right and not accept the suggestion of a Board that allowed the voting order 

to be rigged at the last minute, for whatever promises they might have made.
