    Hoffman vs. Harrington.
    Error to St. Clair Circuit.
   Opinion by

Campbell, C. J.

The offences of forcible entry and detainer are entirely distinct, and a forcible detainer does not so relate back as to constitute a forcible entry.

The Court below erred in charging the jury “ that if the defendant entered upon the premises, removing everything belong-to the plaintiff for the purpose of excluding the plaintiff, and with the purpose of using such force as was necessary to keep the plaintiff out, and within a short time the plaintiff, on discovering what the defendant had done, re-took possession and the defendant expelled him by force from the lots, the whole conduct of the defendant must be considered together and the force used by him will be taken to have been part of his original entry; and make it a forcible entry under the statute."
