CIVIL SIDE.
Btfore Lend Chief Jtatice MANS►LILD.
IiTILSB4.ItY 9. MICHLIW•ITI.

This was an Of assault and false imprison-
ment, brought by the Plaintiff, a shopkeeper. of
• Lewes, against the present High Sheriff of the
County.
Mr. LAWEI stated the pleadings, by which the
Defendant justified the imptisonment, averring, that
h.', 34 High Sheriff of the County, presided at the
County Court, held for the Eledion of Members
to serve in Parliament for this County, and th.! the
Plaintiff assaulted and obstrußed him in the execu-
tion of his duty. for which he caused him to be
apprehended, with intent to carry him before a
Magistrate.
Mr. Serjeant Bear, for the Plaintiff, represented
this as a case of the greatest importance, inasmuch
as it involved the rights of every Freeholder in the
exercise of his constitutional prerogative of choosing
his own Representative in the great Senate of the
nation. The Defendant, as hording the very emi-
nent station of High Sheriff of the County, was,
from that situation, more bound to reverence the
lova, thane man in an ordinary station of life, and
sot to be himself the breaker of them, particularly in
a case where he was, by everyprinciple ofjustice and
honour, bound to preserve the snidest impartiality.
The Plaintiff, he said, was a rupeftaide inhabitant
of the Borough of Lewes. and a Freeholder of the
county of Sown. At the last elation he did that
which eve-y Freeholder had a tight to do, which
was, not only to vote for whom he th iught fit, but
to espouse the cause of his favour ite candidate with
all the we- mchwhich usually interest d men onthose
occasions. It happened that t;.: politics or 4 particu.
ler voter were enistaken by some persons at the last
eleeion ; Le as tarougnt sip oy the friends of one
party to vote on the last day of th: eledion, but
when he got to the husti..gs, wishicg to vote the
ogre. way, his vote was uojetted to ~he persons
ho concletted him to the hustings, in Vie espeda-
t.on of hi. min.; o :heir favour. It ought ttideed
be suspeded that this was done with a vier to defeat
the one ; for after dimming the point before the
4s:est.:T. when the voter returned, it was said it was
too late to be received. This produced a great sen-
sation among the crowd, and many persons cried
oat. that the Sheriff was aging partially. He be-
lieved his client, the Plaintiff, aught do so, and this
was " the head and front of his offending." For
this offence ea. Sheriff ordered him to' be taken into
immediate custody, in which he was deta:ned for
the space of an hour, but instead of attempting to
prove any such charge, as he had now put upon the
record, namely, that the Plaintiff had assaulted him
in the execution of his duty, he was contented to let
him go wthout any at empt to take him before any
Justice of the Peace. Ile Learned Serjeant con•
tended, that this conduct in the Hign Sheriff was so
extremely reprehensible, that he was sure the Jury
would mark their sense of it by most exemplary da-
mages.
Mr. Miles, the l4eadborough of Lewes, proved,
that the Plaintiff WAS at the hustings o . the last day
of the eleflicris. There was a g eat deal of noise
and confusion. He remembered dm some vote
was tendered and refused. There was a great cry
of "No partiai:cy," and he belie/tea the Plaintiff
might join in it. Atter some whispe .ng between the
Sheriff and another gentleman. the Wind ordered
tile Witness to take toe Plaintiff in o cuttosiy. tie
did so, and toot bun to the Court house, where
Mr. Partingtou was sitting as Assessor to the She-
riff. He continued id custody maims 40 minutes,
and was then dismissed. This witness said he did
not hear him threaten the Sheriff, . nor shake has
townie up at him. After be wa- in custody, the
Plaintiff did bind his own hand nod leg with a silk
lundkerchtet, hut did nut hear hum exclaim to the
mob, " See here is a Freeholder bound in letters by
your Sheriff."
Several other witnesses proved his having been
taken into custody, and detained for about an
hour.

Mr. Serjetust Sri ern Ban, for the Defendant, made
a most eloquent speech. He reprobated the anion
as one of the most unfounded that ever was
brought into a Court of Justice. He said he would
most willingly look with the utm.ist indulgence on
all the usual vehemence with wilich men con-
cluded themselves at a general elenion. It arose,
he would admit, from the spirit of English free-
dom ; but the conduit of the Plaiting', he must
say, had been most wicked he had done
all in his power to create the most serious
commotion ; and it the fury of the mob had been
roused by his false insinuations, they might have
gone to excesses which probably might have ended
in most serious and fatal calamity.—He asked for
what purpose did the Plaintiff fetter his own limbs
but to excite the indignation of the bye-standers,
and to have it supposed that the High Sheriff had
wantonly and arbitrarily treated in that manner a
Freeholder of the County f It was to insinuate a
falsehood. though not to say it in words; and his
evident motive was to excite the indignation of the
surrounding spe&ators against the Sheriff. He con-
tended. that to accuse the Rewriting Officer of par-
tiality. was to obstrua him in the execution of his
duty. and that the Sheriff was well warranted in
taking the Plaintiff into custody.
Several witneues were then called, who proved
that the Plaintiff had been very violent in his con.
don upon that day, and that be had shakes his whip
at the Sheriff, and threatened to trounce him, be-
fore the Sheriff ordered him to be taken into custody.
The LLARNM JUDOS reprobated the anion, and
thought the Jury would do well to treat it with
contempt.
