Adams vs. Chauncey Hoor and Others.— OnSaturday, Judge Fisher delivered a decision in the case, of the United States in relation of J. B. Adams agt. Chauncey A. Hoor. Adams rented two rooms from Hoor, who 1s a tenant for years, and on the Istof December Adams was served with a notice to quit the premises at the expiration of the month, (3ist.) On the 10th of December Adams was ejected by Hoor, the latter scting on_the advice of his counsel. The following day Justices Johnson and Bates came to the premises, and after hearing the case they fined Hoor fitty dollars, and one Brown alg Was an accessory) twenty-five dollars or forcible entry and detainer under the stat- utes of Richard ist. Hoorsought relief by cer- ttorari, Which commanded the justices to cer- tity their record to the court; but in conse- quence of irregularity and defects in the record, the court arrested the proceedings. It is un- derstood that Adams may commence proceed- ings de noro to enforce the payment of the fine. At the Isst term of the criminal court Hoor was indicted for an sssanit and battery on Adams, and he submitted his case, when he offtred to show that Adams had insulted his wife: but this offer was objec’ to on the part of the prosecution, and the objection was sus- tained by the court. Adams subsequently withdrew the objection, and expressed a desire that the matter should be fully investigated, when Hoor was allowed to withdraw his plea, and the case gors to the next term of the court. The decision announced by Judge Fisher was as follows: This isa proceeding, not for the purpose of restoring to the relator the property of which he claims to have been possessed, but for the purpose of imposing a fine and imprisonment upon the defendants, and is based upon certain British statutes now of force in this District—a criminal and not a civil proceeding. From time immemorial private rightsin Eng- land, whence we derive our system ot juris- prudence, have theoretically at least been held in high retpect and veneration. When the common Jaw of Great Britain was in its in- fancy; when society was rnde and compara- tively unorganized, and when courts of jastica were more rarely open and less accessible and less facile in their forms of proceeding than the advance of civillzution has made them, mer were frequently constrained to rely upon the strength of their own right arms and the aid of their friends and re‘ainers to assert and maintain-their iudividual claims to the posses- sions to which by justice and right they were entitled. Henee it was declared by the courts in the early days of English jurisprudence that Boman was punishable at the common law for the exercise of force or the use of the strong hand in demanding and obtaining the 7 osses- gion of lands and tenements into which tue right of entry was ¢ him bylaw. In other words, every man had the right to take pos- sersion of bis Own lands, and to tnrn ou: and keep out all intruders and i s0 !ong necessity 0 posse In the exerciveo not responsible (0 sc ay of ndict- ment or other criminal proceeding. In tie pregres? of societ as found that individuals in however, to violea methods of do: ive inspir ferrcr in the co the public pe: reason it Was ¢ more po } * One was liable toindictment who bad no right of © which he had taken for It. 297, 1 Hawk, P.C, I Abr. Ti. For. Ent.) A it wos otherwise. There the ¢ ‘or forcibieeniry the lands of Ossession, (¥ 1 anxiety to preserve and protec gced order of the commanity, ci inal offense, even in the rig estate, to luke possession of i lence. ¢ first modification of the ec | England on th j hic hich is known The words into any laud ent h cuse not ¥ multitude of people a igh entitled by va land, should hand, and the make that entry with pumshmenut wis imprizonment, &¢. As no Provision is made in this act tor the mode of conviction, nor any specific tribunal betore which the offender was to be tried. it follows that the de of proceeding and the tribunal in which'ii was to be conducted was to be the 1¢ which were provided by the common iaw inst him who had made foreible entry with- outright; and that was by indictment before a courthaving cri 1 jurisdiction, Thiss'amn makes no provis estitution to the party injured, nor does provide ogainst forcible Getainer unaccomp ried by foreibie entry. Thus the Jaw remained for a period of some ten years, when to meet the supposed necessi- ues of society and to edy the omissions in the former act, it was enacted by 15 R. 2, c. 2, that ‘on complaint of forcible entry, into lands or other possessions whatsoever, to the jus- | tices of the peace or any of them, the justices or justice take sufficient power of the county and go to the place where the force is made, | and if they find any that hold such place forcibly efter suck entry, they shali commit them to the next jail, there to abide, convict by the record of the sume justices or justice, until they make fine aud ransom; and that the people of the county and the sheriff shali assist, &c., on pain of imprisonment and fine.” This statute does not apply to the case of | forcible detainer merely where the entry was not forcible, but only to the ease of forcible entry followed by forcible detainer, and the justices, in order to haye jurisdiction for the purpose of punishing the offender, must act upon complaint, and must also, when they r- riye on the premises, find the offender still re- house. Onentering the house, one oft a | tock his position on the si | those above that if any one a referred to the acts of 5 and 15 Rich. 2, because they are the only ones which felate to forcible eniry in its criminal aspect. fe make no eb- servations in this case in reference to the s utes of SH. 6, 31 Eliz. or 2i Jac., because they Tetate only to the proceeding for restitution. They will be noticed in the other case between the same relator and defendant, it being a case of proceeding for restitution. ‘he complaint in this case was made in writing and under oath. But itis excepted to on five several grounds. _ Ist. For that it is vague and uncertain in its ecscription of the place of the atieged forcibie Ty and detiiner. We believe this exception to be well-founded, for the place described in itis No. 450 Sixth street north, between E and F streeis west, in this city. There is no such place in the city and cannot be. 2d. The second exception is that it sets forth only & trespass inthe carrying away and de~ taining the furniture of the complainant. This we also hold to be a fatal exception; as the complaint must set forth the expulsion of the complainant himself, : 3d. The third exception goes to the insuft- ciency of the record of the justices in its state~ ment of the offense. - This is equally fatal, because the record must show all the ingredients of the offense. The fourth and fifth exceptions are denials of the verity of the record, which, while we co not feel warranted in noticing them for the purposes of this case, inasmuch as they are contradictions of a record, not made under cath; yet we think proper to announce her@ thatif a case were brought before usy on oath of the defendant, setting forth tnat a justice or justices had act @ecorruptly or falsitied their record, we would not hesitate toerder him oF them before this court, and if, ona full inves~ tigation, it should satisfactorily appear that they had so acted, the proceedings would be quashed and the justices removed from office. For the reasons we have given, itis the unan- imous opinion of the Court that the proceed- ings before the justices in this case be quashed. se Ss TTS Orpn ans’ Court, Judge F urcell._Saturday, the first and final account of Margaret guardian tooiphan of John Crome was proved and passed.

Inasmuch then as this new offence was created by the statute which did not exist atthe common law, nd the more especially as the summary proceeding therein provided for is a penal proceeding betore a special juris- diction, the record of the justices must’show everything necessary to brmg tne defendant within the purview ot the statnte, (Proctor ys. the State 5, Harr 387.) There imust first of all be a complaint made, and that complaiut must te in writing, and be a part of the record in the case; it sliould be made as oler criminal complaints are made under th: and as il is to stand in the piace of an indictment like that proceeding it must be certaia to a certain in- tent in general; that is to say it must be certain ag to the facts, circnmstances and intent consti- tnting th nee. Now one of the principal facts making up the offence of forcible entry is Jocality—the place where the offence is charged tohave been committed: and the law is well settled that in an indictment for this offence, if there be the slightest variance between te in- Gictment and the evidence as to the name of the parish or place whete thehoussis situate, or in any other description given of it, ub! stance wk i be fatal, (Ren. vs. Riddley, R and BR, 515.) It is equally fatal if the pince staied isan uncer'ain or impossible piace or one which does not exist within the justices jurisdiction; it is also insuflicientin a com ‘/plaint of this character to charge the defendan generally with haying committed the offence a?) the facte and cireumstances which consti- tate it must be specifically set forth. Tt will not do for the defendant to be charged with havin, made forcible entry but it must be sat forth thai ‘with force and arms and with strong hand he did forcibly enter, and the complainant, from the aceable possession, &@, then and there, with of arms and with strong hand, unlawfull: didexpel, ke.
