NEAGLE V. LUCAS AND ANOTHER.
This was an action of trespass, for breaking opal
the plaintiff's cellar and taking away ten hints of

Meux and Co. were entitled to the beer, and because
the plaintiff would not give it up, they broke open
the cellar-door to take tt away ; and thirdly, that
they had leave and licence from the plaintiff. The
facts of the case were, that the plaintiff lived in a
pubV:-house in Rosemary-lane, belonging to hieus
and Co. ; and being attested, he went to the King'i
Bench prison. The two defendants, who teere in the
employ of Meux and Co. went to him under pretence
Of taking the house, and wished him to sign an ord..'
for them to take possession cf the beer. He said, .
w.luld not then, but that it should be regularly ap.
praised by an appraiser. Upon which Lucas said,
they would take it without any order; and..accord.
ingly the drays came that s..ree day, and forcibly
took the beer out of the cellar.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, this was quite tinjucti.
fi 'Me conduct ; they could n't thus violently possess{
themselves of the beer, even if they had A title to it
but much less could Oley thus take back good. which
thLy 11.1.1 sold, even though they were not paid fur.
Verdict for plaintiff—Daniages A:75.

This was an action brought on an spreetnent tot
the sale of an estate, to re-oiver the balance of the

Mr. BARROW. for the &tend:int, objected that the
agreement, which was on a 16s. stamp, contained
mere than 1080 words, the number ai!owed by 11:s
Act of Parliament.

Lord ELLENIIMMUCI4 declared, that since an
jection of that kind bid been previously madi.,
should require inimedi ,te proof th.it the eth rem
Lb,l contain more than 10Sii words.

The fact being proved, his Lordship directed the
plaintiff to be nonsuited ; at the same time sAying,
that the plaintiff might get the agreement properly
stamped and bring a fresh action.
