This was an 1101011 to recover the value of eighty
sheep, which had been purchased at A ppleshaw fair,
and driven to Bo!strode, in Buckinghamshire,
where they all in a short time died of the rut. The
Monad' averred than the sheep must have been af-
fected with the disease at the time of the purchase,
and called witnesses to prove that neither during
the journey, nor at Bulsirode, had they been fed
on wet ground, or ground likely to °cession the
rot. An equal number of witnesses were called on
the other side to prove the soundoess of the sheep
at the time of sale; and the question went to the
Jury upon the point of credibility. The Jury,
after bring very elaborately charged try Mr. Baron
Graham, retired for about an hour, and then re-
turned a verdict for the Defendant.

against the ettutchwarden., oveissers, constable,
tithinginaus, &c. of C..% for breaking und enter-
ing the Plaintiff's house, and ejecting him there-
from ; the trespass was pruccd. The defence was,
that the entry was made under a warrant from a
Justice of the Peace, pursuant to an Act of the
.59th of tt,e late King, fur r.cosering the possession
of palish houses ; and, secondly, that the action
bring against a constable, had bran brought too
late.

on both points, the Jury returned a verdict accord-
iugly.
Mr. Serjeunt PELL asked his Lordship for the
double costs under the Act, but the Learned Judge
arriiig chat it was left to his discretion, thought it
would be too great a hardship upon a poor man,
who might have cool eived himself injured.
