It does not appear that the public peace was violated, by any violent misconduct of the defendant, in obtaining or keeping possession of the land in question. If the prosecutor had a belter right to the possession than the defendant, he might have availed himself of his civil remedy. The law will not punish, criminally, a private injury of this nature. There must be, at least, some appearance of force, by acts, words, or gestures, to constitute the offence charged.

New trial granted.
