1 hi• seat an action of trespass, rriseal to try the
ut property to a certain portion of land occupied
871 owned by the plaintiff, anal claimed by the de-
trallant. Mr. A noLeocs stated that -the ailie‘aion

which the Jury had to try was, whether the plaintiff
the defendant was entitled to a piece of land,called
t! e Basin or Down piece, used as a sheep walk, and
4i:l, in the pariah of St. Martha, in the county of
Surrey. The plaintiff, Mr. Austen. was the descend-
alt of an ancient and respectable family residing at
Si Ilford in this county. and the pap,,essor of co• shier-
aft:: estates near Guilford, a part of which is the
minor of Tyting or Tetinger. The real descendant,
tt named in thr record, was Mr. Tinkler, who in.
113 purchased an estate con'ignons to the plaintiffs,
and by virtue of that purchase, as Lord of the Manor
t f Chilworth. laid claim to the piece of Down land in
question. This piece of land, however, had always
h el attached to the plaintitrs manor of Tyting, as
far as the memory of man could reach : in addition to
whirls evidence of exclusive possession, it was proved.
tat the basin or down piece was conveyed with the
manor and lands of Tyting by the Rochdale family.
who, in the year 1616, dismembered and alienated it
:'i the Chilworth estate, which is now the property
et defendant, Mr. Tinkler.

Since the period of 1646, the proprietors ur tenants
of fyzing farm have uniformly and uninterruptedly
exercised the exclusive right over it : though defend-
art, ho:ieser, conceiving that hr bad a right to the
trrlhuld of the soil. committed the trespass which gave
rim, to the present action.
Several very old witueeses, mostly shepherds, were
examined, who proved beyond all cavil or dispute, the
plairtes exclusive possession of the land during a
period of more than sixty years, and the defendant's
Counsel. Mr. Marrvatt, admitting that it was in vain
to contend against testimony so clear and positive,
tim:l4ned to mill any whin , and consented to a ver-
dict for the plaintiff.

&inlay night, the wife of Altrich, keeper of the
Bear-pit, in l'uftun-street, Westminster, went to give
water to a bear whi:h happened to be left loose, when
the arimal lacerated her body so dreadfully, before
assistance arrived, that no hopes are entertained of her
recovery.
