referred to the acts of and Is Rich. 2, because
teey are the only ones which relate to forcible
ehiry In It's criminal aspect. We make no eb-
sefvalons an this case in reference to the stat
utes OF b. o, 81 EliZ. or 2I JAG, because they
1e!ate only to the proceeding for restitution
nney VIII De noticed in the other case between
M sie same relator and defendant, il being q case
Oh proceeding for restitution.
Inc complaint in this case was made in
Wislns ana under oath. But it is excepted to
on five several grounds
isf. FOR mat II is vague and uncertain in it's
otscfipuCn OF the place of the alleged forcibe
entry and detainer. We believe this exception
Z. 10 be weii-founded, for the place described in
II Is No. i50 Sixth street north between f. and
streets west, in this city. There is no such
place in the city and cannot be.
I'd. The second exception is that it sets forth
only trespass in the carrying away and de.
tanning the furniture of the complainant TLIs
we also hold to be a fatal exception: as me
complainant himself.
3D. The third exception goes to the insufi-
ciehcy OF Inc record OF the justices in its state
ment OF the offense. This is equally fatal.
because Inc record must show all the il gredIsnts
OF the ofense
The fourth and fifth exceptions are deniaIs
OF the verify OF the record, which, while we
do not feel warranted in noticing them for the
purposes OF this case, inasmuch they are
contradictions of record, not made under
CATH yet we think proper to announce here
that If case were brought before usg on oath
OF the defendant, setting forth tnat justice or
justices had acte ocorruptly or falsified their
record, we would not hesitate to order him or
them before this court, and ii, on a full in yes-
ugatlon, 1t should satisfactorily appear that
they mad so acted, the proceedings would he
quashed and the justices removed from office.
For the reasons we have given, it is the unau-
lmons opinion OF the Court that the proceed
ings before the justices in this case be quashed.
