Silting. after Term.

TUCKER P. PERT.
This Was an action for slander brought by the
Plaintiff against the Defendant. It appeared dust
the parties were neighbours, and that on a particu-
lar night the Plaintiff's house caught fire. which
brought the Defendant forward, who in the bustle
of the moment made some observations riron What
he (teemed the cause of the cunflagtation. For
these he was almost at the instant sorry. and he so
expressed himself to the Defendant, who replied
that he could not take his apology in a private man-
ner, w the imputation had been publicly insinu-
ated. The Plaintiff reftieed to make a public apo-
logy, and the Present action was the result.
Mr. GASet.iti, for the Defendant, regretted that
the public apology was not given, and said that his
client was now ready to give the fullest public apo-
logy for the imputation he had cast upon the De-
fendant, in addition to the private out he had al-
ready offered.
Mr. Guatigv. for the Plaintiff. consented to
receive this public apology, and a verdict for 51. fur
the Plaintiff.

This offer was complied with. tad a verdict ea=
tered up accordingly.

GADD V. BENNETT.

This was an action brought by die Plaintiff
against the Defendant for • malicious arrest and
false imprisonment. It appeared that so long ago
as 1811, the Plaintiff was a tenant of the Defend-
ant's, and had some account to settle with him.
The latter at that time brought an action against
the former, and at length not only consented to
withdraw the action he brought, but to pay the
costs. Of this action the Plaintiff heard no more
until 1816, when he was arrested at the suit of the
Defendant, and imprisoned for want of bail for the
space of thirteen days.
The CHIN, JUITICt left it to the Jury to consi-
der whether the imprisonment was for a lawful
cause or a 'malicious purpose.
The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff.-401.
damages.
