Mr..Serjeirtit.Oos how elated thecae' to the Jury.
He 'Aid. drat this was one a' the most outrageous
recta of snilitieruestior which had ever lento withiu
the sphere of his obliervatioss. The person upon
whom it was oassussittkal was )ha. M. A. Hughes, a
lade at the tines open** of be yam of age. te
resided at Collarless tarts, in the parish of Haw-
ley. is this county ; ant at au early hour of the
tumuli% in the mouth of August, 1815, het house
was beset by 13 or 30 penises, among whom were
the Defendants; they forced epee the front-door,
seized sod carried re the whom of the furniture,
Amok the beer in the kitchen, and what they could
nut drink they spilt, ty letting the barrel-cocks
run. They 'hewed no authority (if for such acts
any authority could be Aram!, end conducted
themselves throughout the whole batistes* in the
most riotous manner. Ile iniden,tood thee a sort of
attempt at defence would he tromped up—that it
would be said the Defendants were acting by virtue
of the warrant of the Commission'', of Buultropte.
To this he would only say, that a commiSsion of
bankruptcy bad hero taken out against the sou of
Mrs. Hughes. and that it was alleges' lie had a be.
iteficial interest in his mother's, farm ; but the real
fact was, he had no concern whatever in it; and
forthet, the commission itself was superseded, and
a verdict obtained lag:that the person who princi-
pally acted under it.
T. Gardner Richmond, the grantkon of Mrs.
Hughes, proved the circumstance of the forcible
entry into the house, the seizure of the goods, the
waste of the beer, and other acts of vitileuce, in the
commissioe al which the I)efessrlants, with a num-
ber of others, participated. He positively denied
that they demanded admission to the house in the
first instance, or presented any legal authority for
seizing the goods.
In his cronatzunniamtion by Mr. Now,. he said
that his father, against whom the essoinission of
bankruptcy had liress leased. which was afterwards
withdrawn, bail no content whatever in Mrs.
Hughes's firm ; but was a corn-dealer, residing

Mr. Justice Assort. in charging the Jory, oh-
! d, diet the evidence had received no contra.
diction—the conduct of the Defendant, was, there/
fore, most unjustifiable. If even the process under
which they acted were a legal one, the means they
took for its execution were evidently unauthorised.
For nu men, however armed with thr authority of
the law, lied a right to violate the first principles
of the law in executing his power. It here sp..
peared that a large body of persons went ins inmost"
'twitter to ohtuitt poseession of this place, where
r.--te‘taitre. or indications of rtsisthner, was pre.
tented to them. This was clearly illegal, for it is
required of those 'swore invested with legal undo-
toy to use it in a quiet staid orderly manner, unless
it sal opposed by a resistance that required vio-
lence to repel.
