Moulton v. Burbanks.
    In an action for assault and battery and false imprisonment, an allegation that the defendant forged a justice’s name to a writ, by which he was falsely imprisoned doth not vitiate the declaration.
    Ebboe to reverse a judgment of a justice in an action of assault and battery and false imprisonment brought by Bur-banks v. Moulton, alleging that the defendant assaulted and beat him, and forged Justice Cady’s name to a writ, by which he was falsely imprisoned. Plea not guilty. Judgment, that the defendant was guilty.
    Error assigned —■ That the plaintiff’s declaration is insufficient.
   Judgment— That there is nothing erroneous; the plaintiff’s alleging the forgery, is only by way of aggravation, and to show the means by which he was falsely imprisoned.
