it-i-t-o-the7field was proved,wh!ch dosed th6.plaii;Aid's case.

The defendant, who had shewn considerable tact in
cross-examining the witnes es, addressed the Jury. lie
said, gentlemen, I will prove to you that this field is com-
mon land, on which the inhabitants of Acton have a right
to turn their cattle. I have done so for years ; my father
and grandfather did the same, and I will prove my right.
Lord TENTEROEN-You can do no such thing-,--yOB
should have pleaded a Justification, and therefore such
evidence cannot be received. A verdict must pass for the
plaintiff.
Defendant—But, my Lord, I will prove my right.
One of the Jury expressed a wish for the defendant to
produce his proof.
Lord TENT EaDEN-It is really of no use, Gentlemen.
I sit here, and am bound to administer the laws, and if he
proved the clearest title, it could not avail him anything,
as he has not pleaded that right, and in consequence the
other side is not prepared to rebut his evidence. The ver-
dict mmt be for the plaintiff.—(To the defendant.) You
should have pleaded a justification.
Defendant—My Lord, I did not know the technica-
lities of the law, and am not rich enough to pay a lawyer.
If the Jury find a verdict against me, it will be quite
enough to pay the costs on the other side.
Lout TENTERDEN-But perhaps the Jury will find a
verdict that will not carry costs.
The Jury, who appeared to take great interest in the
defendant's case, immediately returned a verdict for the
anages Otie Shilling—Costs One Shilling.
The ATTOR NEY-GENERA L think it right to state,
my Lord, that the defendant has brought an action against
my client, for turning his horse out of the field, hut we
cannot get him to bring it to trial, that wool I decide the
question in dispute.
Lord TENTEKnattt—lf he folows my advice he will
not bring it to trial, but avoid further I:tigation.
Immediately after the trial had terminated,
Mr. HALCOMB, who had evidently been labouring under
some strong emotions, begged leave to address a few
words to his Lordship. It is, said the Learned Gentle-
man, the first time I have appeared in this Court since—
[The remaining part of the sentence could not be heard.]
—I hope your Lordship will allow me to enter into an
explanation. I feel called upon in justice to do so publicly.
My Lord--
Lord TENTERDEN-I cannot hear any explanations as
regards individuals ; I sit here to try causes at Nisi Prins,
and, therefore, cannot allow the time of the public to be
wasted by granting favours to individuals. I cannot hear
you, Sir.
Mr. HALCOMB made several attempts to obtain a hear-
ing, but his Lordship would not grant it.
Mr. HALCOMB —As your Lordship refuses to hear me
publicly, perhaps you will indulge me with an interview
in your private room.
Lord TENTERDEN-Yes, you may wait opus me there_
at the rising of the Court.
