Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping?

One of the electrical circuits started tripping this morning. There are only 4 10amp plug points in this circuit. I tried removing all the appliances that were connected to these plug points and reset the circuit breaker, but after few seconds it trips again. I took all 4 plug points out and checked the wire connections and they all look good. While there was no power in the circuit, I used a multimeter and checked the continuity and found that neutral and earth is reading linked. I believe this shouldn't be. I would appreciate it if someone can advise me on how to overcome this situation.

It sounds like you have a bad circuit breaker. You should replace this. However, I would suggest calling an electrician to help you. They are qualified to replace the circuit breaker in your box.
