Of breaking into, and carrying OF the
goods ofthe plaintiff, and il, was proved
tha., one of the defendants cutered the
house by the chimney, and then broke
open the windows and doors. The dc.

into tlse house by the chimney was law
ful for the service OF civil process; and 1t
not, being once in the house, though by
an unlawful entrance; yet the taking OF
the goods was not a tresspass, tor which
damages might be recovered. But 1t
was decided that al entrance by the
chimney to serve civil process, was
unlawfui; and that all service doe in
c6tsequrnce ofsuch' Unlawful entry was
void.--Nai. AGv. =.
