LAW REPORT.

COURT Of KING's BENCH, Nov. 7.

CLEMa.NTS KEEN.,

Mr. GASELEE moved for a Rule to show
why this nonsuit should not be set aside, and a i'lew
trial had. It was -art aaion *for an assault on the
Plaint ifPs'wife, and tried before his "Anil.* as the
last Assizes for the County of Devon. The Leatn.
ed Gentleman observed, he believed he was eorreet
when he said he had his LnidShip'i leave to make
this Motion.

Lord Eit.tiNanitoucx said, he believed he yield.
ed to the importunity of a Learned Gentleman who
pressed for that !caveat the trial.
.Mr. GASICf. E s said, that, this .question was to be
decided by the construction to be put upon the:Ex.
cise Laws. The Defendant was a person who ,aft-
'rd under the immediate order of an Offic,er of the.
Excise, but who had no beputation himself,- neither
was the Officer who deputed him. present at the time
when the assault was committed, hut at his own-
house. The ease was shortly this: The Defendant
was what is called an extra-man, •at`ling in the Ex-
cise business, employed at the will . of regularly de.
puted Excisemen, who, while, employed, had the
Satre as an Exciseman, and that allowed by the Ex.
cise Board; but these e*tra.men wete liable to be
dismissed at the will of the Exciseman who employ.
ed them. On this occasion the Defendant was em.
ploved as an extra-man by an Exciseman, to lie in
wait for a Passage Boat at Plymouth, and to search
the Passengers fur Contraband Goods, 'the Excise.
man himself-going home, and leaving it to the ex.
tra.rnan ; who searched the Plaintiff's wife, and was
proceeding in a manner she disapproved, when she
bade hiM !‘ use decency." It was on this occasion
the assault was' committed.

Mr. DALLAS took two objeetions to this aelion,
upon the Statute of 28.Ge0. 111. cap. 37, sec. 25,
which proteds Officers of the Revenue from suits for
assault if what they do is under the execution' of
their duty, and they do not commit any blameable
excess ; and also, that .no action shall be brought
against them unless within three calendar months.
atter notice shall have been given to them of such
alion being intended to be brought. In this case
there was no such notice, and, therefore, his Lord-
ship tionsuited the Plaintiff. The question was',
'whethtr this extra man came under the protedion
of 'this Statute ? and that depended upon rite con.
strutlion, of the
.23d ,Clause of it. He. submitted
that the Exciseman could not depute another person,
not a regular 'Exciseman, to search Boats or Per.
sons, without being present Itirn;df; al; the Excise
Laws made a diitinetion between the Officers and
extra men, in point of their authority to search,
&c. This case was important to the Public, inas.
• much as.it was essentiAl to know the extent of the
authority of Excisemen and their Assistants in the
way.of search, &c. ; a point in which the Liberties
of the Subjen were deeply concerned, and that
the more-especially, as the party complaining had
treble costs to pay in case he did not iueceed in
, rAftion at Law.

Lord ELLitHuottouGH slid, that it might be ne.
cesiary that the Officer should, in some cases, ap.
pain t .another man' to- search, for, as he might be
known himself, his appearance, at a dista►tee, would
give the party such notice as might enable them to
defeat the objea of the search;
,and the, question.
here would' .be,' 4, Whither it be not• necessary,
under the Aff of iiarliament, that every man search.
iug boats or persons shouid himself have an
.imtne.
diate appointment from the Board of EiCise i" and
the question was of some importance to the public,
and essentially so to the revenue, for, in searching
boats, it was sometimes necessary to have almost
as many Officer. as there. were passengers, other.
wise while an Officer was searching one passenger,
another might. run Away with the goods ; at the
same time it was fit to ascertain the extent of the
authority given to ' Revenue Officer's and their
assistants.
