By the court,'
The transcript shows that the píairitiff below instituted proceedings' against Harrington and Young, under the forcible entry and detainer act. The complaint filed with the justice does not appear in the re-' turn, it having, as the parties state, been lost. Enough appears, however, to show that the proceedings were under the' provisions of the 1st,-2nd and 3rd secs, of chap. 5, tit. 3, part 3 Rev. Stat.- The form prescribed by statute for the warrant to be issued,- contemplates that the substance of the complaint should- be inserted therein! The warrant,among other things; recites that Scott was in- the quiet and peaceable possession of lots number three and twelve, in the village of Port Huron ; and that being so' quietly and peaceably possessed, the said Harrington and Young,-with foreffand arms, and with strong-hand and multitude of people, made forcible' entry into and upon the lands, &c,, and still do with strong hand detain- the same.
Without noticing the various points made by counsel upon the argument, it will be sufiicient to consider the case upon- its merits, The
Judgment reversed.
