mAiwnt W. 1111011.-AIPAIIIT.

In this cases mils bed bean °Liaised by the defendant
calling on the Sheet/ of Middlesex why he should not refund
10s. improperly reesived by his officers, Mott and Mayo,
with the costs, and also against the two latter for an attach-
ment for contempt of curt in extorting from the defendant '
10a., contrary to law. It appeared that the defendant was
arrested on the 30th of November last, by Mott and Mayo,
when the former demanded of him se. for a search,
ststing that if the amount were not paid Hirons would have
to go to prison. Mining had not got the money, and he went
with the officer to a Mr. Cullingfonl, in Chancery-lane, to
barrow it, when ea the matter being stated, Cullingford said
there was no such fee payable. Hiroo" then said to Mott
" Como, let us have no humbug ; I obliged to pay it "
Mott said he must ; and on that Hirons gave ho watch to
Cullingford, who advanced a sovereign, out of which Hiram
paid Mott the ss. which he denuioded. Subsequently Mayo
said be had also a claim for sa, and on the way to Vihiie-
crees-street }limos gave him 4s. Gil.
Mr. Pearce now showed muse on behalf of the sheriff's
°Moors, who by smdavita denied the facts as stated by
Hiroo's, sad swage that the money had been voluntarily
gigot to them by him for their civility and attention in
sieenstputyieg him to several places before they went to

Mr. Quern, on behalf of the sheriff, said the attorneys
on both sales brut had au interview, and the sheriff's
athwney bad offered to pay the ten shillings and elevcnpounde
odd as costa, and the', Mr. Kay, the attorney acting for
Mr. ifiroes, said the officers were negotiating the matter,
and if they would settle be would. Mr. Kay afterwardi
said that a rule nisi haring been obtained the matter must
come before the court. _ _ _

Mr. Joyce, in rapport of the rule, mid that it was a clear
admission on the pan of the sheriff that his officers were
in the wrong when he offered to refund the amount.
Mr. Quoin said that the sheriff wee willing to refund the
money and t.. pay the cents to the 21rd of March.
Mr. Pearce suggested that the CIAO should be referred to
the Maker.

His lordship said that as regarded the sheriff he should
diacharge the rule on tho payment of the 10s. and the eta*
and as regarded the question of extortion by the officers, he
would refer it to the Master.
Judgment accordingly.
