lGaßcli
tion in damages for a malicious prosecution. The case
This was an
was tried in the sittings after last Michaelmas Term,
before the Lord Chief Baron, when a 'verdict passed
for the defendant.
The plaintiff, it appeared, was an auctioneer re-
siding at Stepney; the defendant was the landlord of
certain premises which were let to a person of the
name of Edmonds. The tenant, being desirous to
dispose of the premises, agreed with one Read to let
the same, on certain conditions contained in a memo-
randum of agreement drawn up between the parties.
Some difference arose upon the construction of this
agreement, and upon the parties attempting to remove
the fixtures and goods from the premises, the de-
fendant gave the plaintiff and others in custody on a
charge of felony. The plaintiff was tried at the Old
Bailey on a charge of conspiracy, but was acquitted.
Mr. HUMYRRY now moved for a rule nisi to set
aside the verdict for the defendant, or for a new trial,
on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Baron,
he having left it to the jury to decide whether there
was any reasonable or probable cause for giving the
parties into custody.
The COURT decided, upon the construction of the
agreement, that they could not disturb the verdict.
Rule refused.
