Eleazer Sinter, Swah Wader v. Henry Miller, and

action which °cell' ied the court upwards of an hour,
but which ought to have been settled out of wart.
It appeared that the woman Jackson and her
husband bad been lodging at the Sun Inn, and that
the husband had given up his pony and cart as
security for • debt that bad been accumulated
with the laedlord. On Saturday night Miller runt
into Ole house, arid bailed for a glass of beer
for himself and another glass for Mrs. Jackson, and
threw a silver coin on the tray in payment. He
aftera arils asked for his change and said it was, a
shilling he bad put down, and Mrs. Slader raid it
was only a 6d. and offered fins 3.1. change, which
he refused to take. He also refused to leave the
house till he had received 91., and consequently a
great disturbance was created, a large number of
people asseueldmg in front of the house. Slader
came home after this had been going on about an
hour and a quarter, and as three messengers which
his wife had sent had not returned with • policeman,
the husband endeavoured to eject Miller from the
house, but failed, his opponent being the stronger
man.- -Mr. Howard, who appeared for Slader, con-
tended that his client wag justitied in expelling
Miller from the house when he was creating a dieter-
lance, and as a proof that he did not use unnecessary
violence there was the fact that the other was the
stronger man. The magistrates, however, tined
Starter 58. and costs, cod decided that 9d., which
Miller claimed, should e iefusded. Thedther crime,
after being heard, were settled out of Court. The
question now arises, has a landlord the power of
expelling a disorderly customer from his premises
according to the tenor of his license? The Wey-
mouth magistrates have decided that he cannot.
