plainant, and called a witness to prove, that on Saturday
evening prisoner and another man came to the field, and
having broken the lock, opened the gate, entered the
field, and drove the cows away. Spencer here stated that
he had an execution against the complainant, and that
the alleged felony arose out of the bailiff's distraint. Mr.

Pemberton observed that even were this statement true,
there was no right to break open the gate. The magis-
trate's clerk replied that this was no case of felony, but
merely one of trespass. Subsequently the execution was
produced, and it appeared the cows were impounded at a
public-house in Hood-street, kept by a man named Lowe.

The complainant attempted to make it appear that he was
not the person described in the execution, but the case
was dismissed.
