was so held in Doe dem. Tollet v. Salter, (13 East, 9.) where the distinct parishe ejectment was for lands in Farnham, which, at the trial, were so named. proved in Farnham Royal: and there it was held no variance, the defendant not having proved that there were two Farnhams. I do not think, therefore, that the magistrates were wrong in the adjudication made by them on this evidence. Upon the whole, therefore, none of these objections are sufficient; and the conviction being regular, must be affirmed. Conviction affirmed.
