BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
( Sittings in Banco. )
Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Wil.
liams %ere the presiding judges.

COOPER V. HARDING AND SMITH.

This was a motion on the part of the defendants for a non
suit on a verdict for the defendants, on several grounds.
The short facts of the case are these :—Messrs. Harding and
Smith, the defendants, are solicitors, at Birmingham, and be-
came agent to the assignees of a bankrupt, named Goold, an
ironmonger at Stafford. The assignees were in litigation with
the plaintiff, Cooper, their former solicitor, in respect to some
trusts. The matter had been the subject of a suit in Chancery,
but thinking the suit would be brought to a more speedy ter-
mination, it was taken before Mr. Daniels, Commissioner of
Bankruptcy. The defendants being desirous of Mr. Cooper's
appearance before the Commissioner, served him with a sum-
mons to attend before the Court, but Mr. Cooper, when the sum-
mons was tendered to him, refused to attend, unless his expenses
were paid as a witness. The defendants then applied to the
Commissioner for a warrant to compel his attendance, who
observed that if they had not done what was right regarding
the summons, they were not entitled to a warrant, owing to
the expenses not having been tendered ; but upon being pressed
the Commissioner said, that at their own peril, and upon their
own responsibility, he would grant the warrant. The warrant
was accordingly taken out. Baddam, the officer of the Court,
put it into execution, and Mr. Cooper was brought in custody
before the Court. Mr. Cooper brought an action against the
defendants for false imprisonment, which was tried before Lord
Denman, and a verdict was had against them. Thereupon the
present proceedings ensued. Counsel for the plaintiff prayed
that the rule might be discharged.
The defendant's plea was, first,'that the plaintiff was sus-
pected by Mr. Commissioner Daniels ; and secondly, that he
was generally suspected for the act, and says that a witness is
not bound to attend unless his expenses are paid, but in the case
of suspected persons, postpones the question of expenses until
the suspected person be examined. The summons, however,
did not set forth any such suspicion, and the jury by their
verdict recognised the fact that the Commissioners did not
regard Mr. D. Cooper as a suspected person. The summons
merely set forth that the solicitors for the assignees believed
Mr. Cooper to be a person who could give useful information
in the case, but the warrant recited that he was a person sus-
pected to be in possession of some of the bankrupts' goods.
Their Lordships took time to consider their judgment.
