SURREY SESSIONS, MAY 3.

The adjourned Sessions were held at liorsemonger-
lane, before Lord EASINOn and a Bench of Magistrates.
James Evans and William Smythe were indicted for
haviag taken forcible possession of the premises and
pr..peity of Mr.W.Wheeler, pretending legal authority.
The prosecutor is a market-gardener, and has, upon
Lovemore Common, Walworth, premises which he has
n‘eupied six years. On the 22d of December last,
Smythe, and a man named Durant, who did not appear
upon the trial, appeared upon the premises of Wheeler,
and demanded from him the sum of 80/. for ground
rent, saying that it was due to Durant, without sa)ing
from wham. Wheeler, who knew very well that he had
no claimants for rent but his landlords, refused to pay
a halfpenny, desired the two gentlemen to walk off, and
shut the gates upon them ; whereupon Smythe broke
open the gates, and took from the premises a cart, in
which were several articles, the property of Wheeler.
The prisoner Evans, was not present at the time the
forcible entry was made; but he afterwards admitted
that he knew that a door had been broken open, and to
a certain extcht, that he sanctioned that proceeding.
The prisoners, it appeared, had been cautioned as to the
conduct they were pursuing, but Smythe persisted in
distraining the goods.
Smythe declared he acted upon the conviction that he
was doing right, agreeably to orders received from Evans.
The Jury acquitted Evans; and found Smythe—
Guilty. Sentenced to pay a fine of Is.
