GARLAND V. CARLISLt.

1112 wag a Writ of Error brought from the jucignicnt
of the Court of Common Pleas upon a special verdict
found in an action Of Oct by the defendant in Error,
as assignee of a bankrupt named Leonard, to recover from
the plaintiff, who in 1824 was Sheriff of Dorset, the value
of certain goods of the bankrupt which were taken in
execution by him under Vied facias, after the commission
of a secret act of bankruptcy. The action, which was
brought in June 1825, and to which the Sheriff pleaded not
guilty, Was tried at the Summer Assizses for Dorset
before Mr. Justice Littledale, and under his direction
a verdict was found for the plaintiff fur the full value of
the goods. In the fallowing Term the Court of Common
Pleas set aside the verdict, and directed a new trial, which
took place at the next assizes, when the special verdict
complained of was found. Upon that verdict the Court
of Common Pleas was of opinion that there was a sufficient
conversion by the Sheriff to sustain the action of Troter,
and that he was liable for such conversion, notwithstanding
his total ignorance at the time that any net of bankruptcy
had been committed. The judgment, therefore, was given
against the Sheriff, who brought a writ of Error in the Court
of Exchequer. Of the eight judges forming that Court,
four were of opinion that the judgment of the Court of
Common Pleas should be reversed, and four that it should
be affirmed. The consequence therefore was, that tha
judgment of the Court of Common Pleas was allowed to
stand, and against that judgment the present appeal was
brought.
Sir F. Pollock and Sir Wm. Follett appeared for the
plaintiff in Error, and Mr. Sergeant Bompas and Mr. Ball
were Counsel for the defendant.

Sir F. Pouncx was addressing their Lordships on be.
half of the plaintiff when our reporter left.
