LAW IN7ELLIGENCE.

COURT OP KING'. BENCH, NOV. 9.

THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF JOHN BACON,

V. WM. MILES.
Mr. ERSKINE moved for a Writ of Certiorari, to
remove an indinment from the Seffions into this
Court, on an Affidavit which Rated, that an anion

was brought in the Court of Common Pleas, for
Defamation againft a perfon of the name of Ba-
con ; Defamation, Mr. Erikine laid, of the molt
difgraccful nature : this cafe coming on to be tried,
was referred to the arbitration of Mr. Wm. Miles,

who awarded to the plaintiff in that anion, the fum
of 3501. which, Mr. Erfkine faid, was very mo-
derate, confideritig the nature of the Defamation ;
in coufequence of this, Bacon was called on to pay
the money ; he refufed it, and moved the. Court
of Common Pleas to fet the award a fide : upon
the heating of that motion, Mr. Miles did that,
which, if the prefent motion was unfuccefsful, ar•
bitrators would be flow in doing in future—he
made an Affidavit in fupport of his award ; and
here the Court would not fail to obferve, that an
arbitrator was to be confidered as a Judge, in a
tribunal, the authority of which their Lordfliips
would fupport, from. a fenfe of its value in the ad-
jultment of difputes between individuals, Who
made choice of that forum. Bacon (till perlifting
in his refufal to comply with the award, in the
fame fpirit as before, refilled the award, indißed
this arbitrator, Mr. Miles, for perjury, alledged by
Bacon to have been committed by Mr. Miles, in
the Affidavit he made in fupport of his award.

Here the CHIEF JUSTICE a(ked whets the Bill
of Indi&ment was found

Mr. ERSKINE Paid, it was at Clerkcnwell Sef-
fions. Mr. Miles, he Paid, was a very refpedable
man in trade : it was Rated that this was a mali-
cious profecution, and intlituted with a view of in.
timidating the party, and that rather than this
Gentleman (hould appear inClurt,upon his trial, the
whole of this money will be given up. Mr. Ertkine
obferved, that if any cafe could be removed on
account of its extraordinary airctunflances, this
was that cafe, for unlefs arbitrators received en
couragement, there would be an end of arbitra-
tions alto ether.
Lord ELLENBOROUCH raid, I incline to this
application more on the laR ground you have
Rated, Mr. Erskine, than that which jolt preceded
it. In order to induce men to take upon them the
charader of arbitrators, it is proper to protc
them ; and, as it is Rated, that the proceeding is
injurious to the arbitrator, we fhould grant this
motion ; but it is on the ground of proteding this
Gentleman, in the charader of arbitrator, that we
put the cafe into a courfe of being tried in the moil
fnlemn manner. As to the ground of inconveni-
ence, in .expofing this Gentleman to [land at the
bar of a Court of Juflice, it is a fuejed which we
cannot take into confideration, becaufe that is the
fituation in which the Law would place him, and,
therefore, the Court would not grant this motion
on that ground. But we affent to the motion on
the other ground."—M, tion grant d.

PAGE V. WHIPPLE.

Mr. Gao. ZVrtsol moved for a Rule to thew
'caufe why judgment should not be arrefted in this
caufe, which was tried at the laft Affixes before
'my Lord- ALVAN LEY, when a Verdid was found
for the plaintiff, Damages st. The Adion was
for a malicious arrelt of the plaintiff at the fuit of
the defendant for 431. The plaintiff met the de-
fendant, paid the debt, together with a furze of ma-
neptowards the colts, and was afterwards arrefted
for the debt, and remained in cuftody until the
matter was properly explained to the Under-
Sheriff. The only Count in the Declaration in
this cafe, on which the plaintiff pretended to rely, '
was that which Rated—That upon Inch payment
of the debt, and fuch fum towards the colts it be-
came and was the duty of the defendant in the pre-
fent action, to have preferved, and therefore he
ought to have preferved the plaintiff from being
arrelted in that Aloft ; that he negleded that duty,
and did not prevent him from being fo arreßed,
but fuffered him to be fo arrelled, and that he was
fo arrefted. Now, the plaintiff mull, in this cafe,
contend that it was the duty of the defendant to
have countermanded the inftrudion to arreft the
plaintiff, the inftant the caufe was fettled, arid
that although the party did not defign it, yet in
this cafe he was anfwerable for the inconvenience
produced to this plaintiff by this arreft ; but there
was a cafe in point, which put, an end to this
dodrine, and to the prefent action. It was the
cafe of SHIPPEL A FAIRBANE AND ANOTHER, in'
the Rep. of PuLLEN and Bosaacty sr, Com. Pleas
38$ ; in which it was laid down, That in this cafe
the action is not maintainable without the ingredi-
ent of malice in the party, At whole fuit the arreft
takes place. Here there was no fuck malice, the
arreft being matter of accident, and the action
could not be maintained, therefore judgment ought
to be arreaad. Rule to (hew caufe granted.
ZACHARIA V. EMBDEN.

In this cafe Mr. Serjeant LENS moved for a new
trial. The anion was brought upon a promiffory
note for 171. granted by the defendant to the wife
of the plaintiff before her marriage. Mrs.
Zacharia belonged to a, club of which Embden
was Steward. The club proceeded thus : every
member contributed a weekly fum, and.on Satur-
day night it was decided by lottery who lltould
receive the whole. This lottery fcheme not fuc-
ceeding, it was given up, and a fettlement was
made. Mrs. Z. had been fortunate, and the fum
of i 71. was due to her. For this the Steward gave
her this promilfoty note, although he had so part
of the money in his hands. The arrears, to a
great amount, were not then, and never yet had"
been paid up. But he was not bound by his note,
as the confideration was evidently illegal. The
Judge, however, was of a different opinion, and
die Jury found a verdiCt for the plaintiff.
Lord ELIANBOROUGH afked, if there was any
Count in the Declaration for monies had and re-
ceived f The note might be vitiated, from being
-At • -

After a good deal of eonverfation. which (hew•
ed that the conftitution of the club was not well
known, the Court, in confideration of this and of
the fmallnefs of the fum in difpute, refufed the rule.
