Mr. ABBOT moved for a rule to chew cause why
the itiqpisition taken in this case should not be set
aside, and another Writ of Inquiry be executed,
on the ground of excessive damages. The Plain.
tiff and Defendant were next-door neighbours; the
one of them claimed a right to take in his coals
through a hole which was under the gateway of
the other, who shut_ his. gate. They met, quar-
relled, and jostled each other; after:which the De_
fendant sent for a Constable, charged the Plaintiff,
and ordered the Constable to take him into custody,
which he did ; this was about seven in the morn-
ing. Before they arrived at Giltspur-street, Comp_
ter, th Defendant requested the Constable to let
the PiaintifF go, but he insisted on being taken to
the Compter himself, which he was accordingly,
and talked of bringing his alion against this De-
fendant, and conversed with. the Turnkey upon
that subjcCt, who said to him, " Sir, if you want
to ',rico. an anion for false imprisonment, you had
better be locked up ;" which he was accordingly.

Mr. ERMINE liv,ved for a Rule to shew Cause
why a new fri 41 s!-;:,uld not be had in this Case. It
was an adion by Mr. Dewey, who was a creditor
of Lord Arundel, against Sir Andrew Baynton,
Bart. Sheriff of the County of 'Wilts, for a false
Return of a \Vrit of Execution issued at the suit of
this Plaintiff against the goods and chattels of Lord •
Arundel, in Wardour Castle.
The Sheriff had entered and levied upon the goods
to the amount of about zoo'. but being afterwards
assured that the remainder he had taken possession
of were not the goods of Lord Arundel but of Lady
Arundel, under a legal Deed by which they bad
been conveyed to her Ladyship's use, therefore the
Sheriff had returned nulla bona as to the rest of the
debt upon which an aCtion was brought against the I
Sheriff for a false Return, and a verdil was found
for the Plaintiff.
The present Motion was ifiiide upon the ground,
that these goods were origitialli---the property of
Lord .Arundel, who after his marriage had become
embarrassed with debts, and who was importuned
by creditors. Lady Arundel was possessed, under
her marriage settlement, of an estate of 40001. a
year, with remainder to her issue male, remainder
to herself in fee ; she was now above the age of 60,
had two daughters, but no male issue, and therefore
'the estate was wholly in herself. In order to relieve
his Lordship from his embarrassments, she consented
to raise 12,0001. upon her own estate ; this is ex.
elusively her cwn, upon condition that furniture
and various effefts should he conveyed to Trustees
for her use. This was accordingly done by Deed.
Lord and Lady Arundel lived together without any
idea of separation. It appeared in evidence at the
Trial that five different Executions had issued
against the goods of Lord Arundel, and he had paid
them all to redeem the goods in question.. Lord
ELLaNaotiouott held, that while the husband and
wife lived together, the. possession of the wife was
the possession of the husband ; that in this Case it
was fair to infer, that as the Noble Lord had bought
these goods so often of the Sheriff, they might be
called the goods of his Lordship, if so, the Sheriff
in returning " there were no more goods," had made
a false Return, and therefore the Plaintiff .was en-
titled to a verdki.—The Jury found a verdia for
the Plaintiff far the remainder of his debt.
It was contended, that as this was a real and bona
fide Contraft, that Lady Arundel became the owner
and possessor of these goods for a valuable conside,
ration, namely, 72,0001. out of her own absolute
estate, they could not, under any circumstances
whatever, without her consent, or. the consent of
her Trustees) become the property of her husband.
That if she had had them by virtue of a Settlement
before Marriage, no doubt could be entertained
upon the subject but they must be her's, and no en-
gagement of her Lord could affed them. Here she
had them in virtue of a post Nuptial Contra, which
made no difference, provided it was for a valuable
consideration, and the possession accorded with the
title, that no engagements of her husband could
1 after Wards affed such property, which was abso.
