LAW IN TELLIGEN C.G.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 29.

(Sittings inMid(ilesex,_at Nisi Prins, in Easter Term,

before Mr. Baron MARTIN and Common Juries.)

The Court commenced the " second sittings" at 'Nisi
Prius for the present term.

WOODS V. FINNIS AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Edwin James, Mr. Willes, and Mr. Hawkins con-
ducted the case for the plaintiff; and Mr. Bramwell (with
Mr. Burchell) was counsel for the defendant.
This was an action brought against the late Sheriffs
of London and Middlesex, to obtain compensation in da-
mages for an alleged extortion by one of their officers,
by whom the plaintiff had been arrested upon a writ of
ca. sa., and also for an alleged wrongful imprisonment.
The defendants pleaded not guilty, ' then that they did
not extort the money as alleged, then that the sum said
to have been paid in satisfaction of the di bt was not
paid to the defendants, then that they did not discharge
the plaintiff from custody on payment of such sum,
then that Foote, the plaintiff in the original action, was
not willing to receive the money; and then that the fees
were paid to the officer in consequence of a contract
which had been entered into between him and the
plaintiff.
It appeared that the plaintiff was a builder, and was
in the course of 1849 engaged in a building speculation
in the neighbourhood of the Viandsworth-road. During
that year, a judgment having been obtained against him
r 671. 105., at the suit of a person named Foote,
manufacturer of snuff, he was arrested on a writ of oa.
sa. by an officer of the name of rti illiam Henry White,
by whom he was taken to his own " lock-up" house in
Chancery-lane. Woods thereupon sent to his attorney,
Mr. Webb, who at once forwarded him a cheque for 75/.
With that money Wo, ds, paid the officer the amount
that was endorsed upon the writ, as well as certain
charges as having been incurred in the "lock-up"—
namely, caption tee, 11. ls.; for searching at the sheriff's
office, 3s. 6d.; and a fee for the discharge, 4s. 6d. Upon
the payment of all these items the plaintiff was dis-
charged out of custody. It happened, however, that
the officer, White, failed to pay over the money, and a
concurrent writ having been issu, d in London, the
plaintiff was, on the 3d of August, again arrested by
another officer of the sheriff, when he was conveyed to
Whitecross-street, wherein he was detained until the
following day. The plaintiff now, therefore, sought to
recover compensation in damages for this wrongful im-
prisonment, as well as a retura of the fees which he had
paid to the officer White.
Evidence was adduced which went to show that the
IL 9s. which White had demanded and received as foes
were customary fees under such circumstances. Toe
attorney for Foote, the plaintiff in the original suit,
proved that the officer White had not handed over the
amount be had received from Woods in satisfaction of
the writ upon which he had been arrested, and then
added that ho was not aware of any such payment
having been made until after Woods had been arrested
on the second writ and taken to the Whitecross-street
prison. Woods was upon this occasion arrested about
four o'clock in the afternoon, and ho was discharged from
the prison on the succeeding morning about half-past
eleven o'clock.

Mr. BRAMWELL, on behalf of the defendants, sub-
mitted that there had been no case made out to go to
the' jury. There was not the least pretence for saying
that the fees alluded to as having been paid to White,
the officer, had been taken by the authority of the de-
fendants' parties, who were in no way bound to reoeive
the money, nor had the officer any authority from them
to act as he bad done. The transaction, in fact, was
neither more nor less than a contract entered into, as it
were, between Woods and the officer, and acting upon
that contract the latter had discharged the former from
custody in consideration of the payment of the debt and
costs and of the fees.

Mr. Baron MARTIN was of opinion that it was no
bargain. He would, however, reserve leave to the
defendants to move upon the point if they should be so
advised
Mr. BRAMWELL thereupon addressed the jury in miti-
gation ot damages.
Mr. Baron MARTIN, in leaving, the case to the jury,
told them that if they were of opinion that the amount
of 11. 9s. had been demanded by White, the officer, as a
matter of course it would be their duty to return a verdict
for the plaintiff, because that demand was one which
could not be justified in point of law. Upon the question
of damages, the action not having been brou,.,ht against
the party who had been the wrongful. doer, they would
probably think that the case was not altogether one
calling for very heavy damages.
The jury, having consulted for a few minutes, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501.
Mr. Baron MARTIN then gave leave to the defendants
to move the Court on any ground which might release
them from the consequences of White's act, or to reduce
the damages.
Mr. WILLED applied to the Learned Baron to certif. y
that the case was a proper one for trial in a superior
Court.
Mr. Baron MARTIN said that if it should be found
that the plaintiff was only" entitled to the 1/ 95., then,
in that case, he should not feel disposed to grant a
cer-
tificate.
