LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, APRIL O. BENNETT V. WATSON AND NEWMAN. Mr. GURNEY moved for a Rule to shew cause why the verdict given in ti.is case against the defendant Newman should not be set aside, and ti nonsuit entered. It was an action for false imprisonment, tried at the last Keut assizes before the Lord Chief Baron, and was brought here under the following circumstances defendant Watson is a magistrate of the county of Item, and Newman is a con• stable fur the town of Woolwich. A felony having he'll committed, the wife of plaintiff gave evidence to prove the guilt of a person ap prehended, and her testimony was essential to wove the tact. She was told that she must go down to the assizes at Maidstone, to give evidence against the This she refused to do, anti also re fie ed to find snrciies to answer for her appearance. Under these circumstances, the magistrate issued a warrant to compel her to go down to Maidstone; and on the morning when it became necessary fi►' her to depart, the constable (Newman) calkd upon her, took her mi ler the authority of his warrant in a carriage to INlaidstone, where tie lodged her in gaol till the next morning, when she gave evidence againg the prisoner, whereby he was convicted. She was then sent hack to Woolwich. This was the ground of action. On the trial a nunsuit was entered as far as regarded Mr. Watson, because it could not be proved that a proper notice had heel' served upon him of the action, but a verdict of is. damages was given against the constable, upon the ground that the magistrate had no right to issue the war rant which he had executed. Mr. Gurney was now prepared to contend, however, upon - the authority of a case in 2d Hawkins, p. li'9, that where the evidence of a witness was essential to prove a crime, and that the witness refused to appear at the trial or find sure ties to answer for his appearance, the magistrate before whom such evidence bad been given had a power vested in him to issue a war. rant against such a perm:m p h) order to compel them to give evidence. —Rule Nisi granted.
