(Sittings in Banco, before Locd Chief Justice and justices
Crompton. Blackburn, and Mellor.)
COLONEL DICKSON AND THE EARL WILTON.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barone
Martin, Bramwell, and Wilde.)
IdECHER V. ELIAS.
The plaintiff and the defendant are both Germans, and
the action was brought by the plaintiff to recover damage°
for false imprisonment, At the trial, which took place
at Guildhall before Mr, Baron Bramwell, the Ps,
returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with £25 damages. ,
appeared that the plaintiff had been engaged to marry the
daughter of the defendant, from whom he received 70G
thalers for the purpose of purchasing goods and setting
uP
business at Breslau. The plaintiff alleged that he had pu
chased some goods at Leipsio and in Switzerland and
Hamburg, and afterwards came to London, 11°
then wrote to his sister, stating that after he ho',
purchased good sat Hamburg, partly from cash end
party by bill, he found that he had been robbed of
his pocket-book containing the principal portion of hie
money, and that he made his way to England with some
watches and the few dollars he had in his pocket, The de'
fondant disbelieving his story, and that he had fraudulently
appropriated the money, gave the plaintiff into custody, but
on the case being heard before the magistracy he was die"
charged.
Mr. George Denman had obtained a rule to set aside the
verdict, or to reduce the damages, on the ground that the
plaintiff at the trial had not given a true version of the
affair, and that he had falsely represented the position he
formerly held in the Prussian army.
Mr. Sergeant Parry now showed cause against the rule
on an affidavit of the plaintiff, reiterating his evidence givezi
at the trial, and contended that the verdict ought not to 10
disturbed.

Mr. Denman having replied,
The Court suggested that the damages should be reducocl
to £lO, to save the expense of a second trial, as there ral4
be a verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant Parry at once assented to the proposition.
Rule for new trial discharged, the plaintiff undertaking
to reduce the damages to £4O.
