LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, MONDAY. Jl:leirlit
IMPORTANT 1.1P.A.ABION.••••••BROOKS Y. WARWICK.
Fur. NV/alien stand, that this was an action of considerable
importance to the public at huge. 'f 114 plaintiff was a re. ;
Naretable pawnbroker, residing in Hot utn, and lie now
.might to recover a comyensation in elan.ages, fur an illegal,
soul led and malicious prosecution, which In .it been iu sti_
hr ted aaainst him by the defendant. and in consequence of
which, he 11:141 been iniprianned on a charge of felony, amongst
felons, ter 24 hours. The defendain teas well able to pay da-
mages, for he was hacked by the Diret tots of the Bank of
England. Tile present was an action which would decide
a great and impoi taut point of law, lie had a greet respect
for meny of the Bank Directors individually. Colleetivo ly,
they • were a great and num sespeetable trailing compony
but they were only a troling company, min lie knew, of no
right they had to take cue law into their own halide, and to
decide for themselves, any more than the West India Dock,
or any other trading comanity Ilea. Their wealth was Cl' I
tainly great. and it was st,i4l, great wealth gave great power;
but he had still to learn, that their wealth, he it eves so great,
would set than above the law. The facts of flue case were
as followe ,—The plain:id' had, iu the coorse of his trade, re-
ceit e4l a one pound note from a person mimed Corwin,
whose address, No. 4, Tavisteak-street, was put on the note
at the liaise ft was taken. The plaintiff afterwards paid the
Hole to a person named Bull : by Mall it was paid to others,
and idthoately it was uatilered at Nye Bank, when it was
stopt as a forged one. On the '2 Ii of December, Isl 6, the
,foloodato Woo is a Bank Inspector. applied to the
and stated, that the note was a forged cue, giving it to Mr.
Brooks, who. sot examining it, immediately knew it to be the
smite a hich he lead paid to Mr. Bull, and told the defile-
(laid so saying lie wt.•. 1.1 gu awd give Mr. Bull another for
it. The plaintiff:int' defendant tiCell(lingis went together to
Mr. Bull, and plaintiff paid to pound in lieu of the forged
one. They then returned to pleantiffs 'tense, when the de-
fendant demanded the note. The plaiiitiff, however, ntitsed
to give it up. He stated who took it from, but said he
would keep it and try to focuser his money bark ; mid that
the note !Mould, in the mean time, he forthcoming a henevet
called fur, if a prosecution should be instituted. This did
not satisfy the defelidant, who told Mr.ltrool a, unless he gave
III) the note; a process would issue against him and on his
',till refusing to give it Hp, the defendant applied to Mr.
Baker, a magistrate at Hatton Garden, mid upon his deposi-
tion the plaintiff wits summoned before Mr. Baker, to answer
for so felony. lie /Mr. Scarlet?) supposed the defendant
fuonded ale protertiatig on the Art of the 4:oth of the Kin;,,,
which provided, that any person bovine a forged note in has
possession, knowing it to be so, and not being able satisfac-
torily loam-omit for the manner in which it had Count. into his
possession, should be guilty of felony and lioble to be trans-
ported foe 14 years. %V heti the summons froth the magisto ate
was delivered, Mr. Brooks attended immediately, anti the
defend:out then preferred his charge against him, of having,
know ugly and atlhrrglV,and without sufficient excuse, in his
possession, a forged note, pad upon this charge the plaintiff
was committed to the New Prison as a felon. He was after.
woods biought sip for a second examination, when Mr. West-
wood attended as solicitor to the Dank ; and the plaintiff was
then told, that if he would give up the note lie would be
ti-
bcuated. The plaintiffs still refused to give it up, boot at
length he compromised the matter, and deposited the forged
unto, (as it was called) in the hands of the alagisto ate, and
from that clay to this, he understood, it remained in the hands
of the Magistrate, scaled up, tin step having been taken upon
it ; 1101 had the plaintiff received any compensation tot the
iionry he had sustained in toeing imprisoned and dragged
through the streets as a felon. To obtain compensation fur
that injury, and to clear his own character, the plandiff
brought the present action.
Lord Ellenborougli observed, that on the opening of the
Learned Counsel, it appeared both parties had been w rung. ;
Neither path could have a property iu the forged cote. It
was a nuisance, and only available to promote (fee ends of •
justice. When tendered the Bank had a right to lay hands
on it, anal detain it; but then hail no right to itnprison the
plaintiff tinder this Act, for a felony, since lie accounted for
the note being in his possession most satisfactorily. Th., de-
tenting the note by the Rank in the first lavislare might
have been Justiciable; the eubsetitieut ptoeeediogs were an
excess.
Mr, Scarlet said, it was for the malicious imprisonment
the plaintiff sought actress.
Loro Elleuleaouee ottserved, the conduct of the Bank, on
all occasions, was such #a to prove there was no malice. His
Lordship Nuligt :red lathe other side the propriety of suffer.

Mr. Topping— Yon tee, my Lord, they have charged tut

Lord illenhosough—And they have pi eil their rase step
by step. I wished to say as little us possible ou this case.
Jou had belie, adept my proposition.
'flue defendant still declined acceding to the suggestion of
la his ir.l.liip.
51r. Baker, the Committing Magistrate, proved the com-
mitment on the ;list of December ; and by the %variant of
commitment he was ordered to be brought op ;,gain en the
Ist ofJauuary. He was then re•exaunucd, and it was ',peed
that hr should deposit Nie note with the wittiest, and that the
Bank would not proceed to proveente. Witness recollected
Brooks stOtig he would not part with the forged note; be
would keep it, to compare other notes with it, and thus dis-
cover forged notes from good. Witness Said if he wished to
try the question with the. Bank, he would commit him for five
minutes. and he might then he admitted to bail. Witness
said, if after this notice he detained the note, he would, in his
opinion, have possession of it without lawful excuse.
Lord Ellenhoiough—That decision was wrong. The har-
ing unlawfully in possession must relate to haviiig possession
in the first instance-, and rut to any enlist quern possession,
lie had given estop fur it, and that was a jultitiable excuse.

Lord Ellenborongh observed, this did not alter the ease,—
The contest scented to be, whether the pt rscusl libertv ,t thy
subject should be invaded, or tire law of the Batik Clerk should
be declared to be wrong.

Mr. Topping addressed the Jury on tho part of the de-
fendant, and contended that U r plaintiff was not justified it.

contended, that here was no malice whatever against the
plaintiff; on the contrary, if he s' or Id have consented tu bus c

Bank had only acted as they considered they were justified
by law in acting ;. and /vela if the Jury shoc.id, ender MS

Lord gllenhorougli summed op ; and iu troieg :so, said, the
plaintiff had given all die information inihis power respecting
this note; and there was not a shadow of gamin] to say.
lie came within the clause which made it retail to have*
forged note in his possession, nor able sa:isfactorily to
arroinit for his. same The plain: it bad teken the note in
the course of his trade; he informed the cloftmJant of whom
he took it, and rave all the inforniarci; in his power. After
having dune this, he was taken helm e a IVlatostrate, and im•
prisoriud as a felon. It would be rather too numb now to
say, he had no cause of cidiiplainr. The only question was,
abetbt r the deft ihit,atter having dtiivered this note to tiro
plaintiff, had any right to demand it bark again. He cer-
tainly had not ;, as far as the question of roperty could go
it: the case of a forged note, which, as he observed, was a
tinisauce, and (Amid truly be used as property, as forwarding
the ens. of justice—that property was in the plaintiff. The
Bark. when it was tendered to then., might have destroyed
it, having proved it ;o be a forgery; but they bad no esense
for charging the plaintiff with a felony. He had wished to
pievent this discussion. which could do no public good, bet
might or productive of evil. The note was in the plaintiff 's.
possession ; iu his Lordship's opinion, Ito one had skean a
rirlit to take it from him. If the Jur) should thibk the vase

such damages as they considered a lair compensation; they
would estimate the damages proportionate to the injury, with-

on the Bth of March, and one of the Baileys was riding be.
they had never attempted to get away from him.

Mr. L: J. J. Noel confirmed the evidence of the last wit-
ness. The otlicers required a lee of 101. on taking the wit-
