it‘
The facts of the case were trot disputed, which
were, that the plaintiff tivris decreed .by the Ee-
cleiiastical Court of the Bishop of CheSter to
take upon himself administratiol OX the effects of
a deceased 'relative. This he refused to do, and
for this' contumacy to the decree of the Court,
the defendant, as official of the Court, pro-
nounced-Abe sentence of excommanication against
him. From' this sentence he appealed to the
Superior Court.orthe Archbishop of York, which
confirmed the substance: From this he appealed
to the Court of Delegates, which reversed the ex-
communication. The plaintiff now,brought ,the
present action, to recover a compensation in da-
mages for the expellees he had been put to in
obtaininz, reversal of this illegal exec:l=ll.mi-

cation. •
• •Mr. ABl3tqT, for the defendant, ohjected that
the action could not be maintained, atid,stated the
following distinetiOn That whe-re an inferior
Judge proceeded in a. matter whcr•c,lie- had rib
jurisdiction, the action would lie against him ; but
where he had jurisdiction over the subject matter.;
but 'cOrtiiited an 'error in his. proceedings, an,
action .would not, lie. In this case the Court•lie
low had a.clear jurisdiction of the subject matter,
which► was the grant►ng of an administration,
,though lie agreed that the exco►ntnunication was
irregular. - •
The' Learned Judge said, he would save ttais
point for future discussion ; and the Jury found,
for the plaintiff, in damages to the am writ of the
costs of obtaining the reversal of the c'Acounnuni--
cation.

to visit it, and went there. The proprietor and
he descended with torches;. they. walked tran-
quilly until they pewired a' light coming tow':rds
them. They 'were not long before they diseo-
vered a man in uniform, who said, with an arro-:
',Oat tone, " What is your business. here ?"
What business have you here yourself ? This
"place belongs to me," said the proprietor; this
eaVern is made under my garden, and copvtini-
