CHELMSFORD4IISIZU, JULY 2L
OkEgli V. Sy&

This was an action by the Overseers of the parish
of-Gieat Canfield, against the High Constable of his
division, for a trespass in taking and selling his horse,
as a distress for the rate to be paid by the parish to the
county. The defendant, as High Constable, sent his
son round to d e different parishes to collect the rate
-from the Overseas, and amongst others he dernanded
• £B. 12s. 6.1: for tale rate, and ss. for coNecting it.-
Ihe plaintiff tendered the itB. 12s. 6d. but refused
pa)mens of ss. The defendant, as High Coossa-.1
hie, atter wards made out his precept, calling uponithe
plaintiff to pay the money at Chelmstoid, which was '
neglected, and he then got a warrant of distress., under
which he distrainel and sold the plaintiff's horse. The
defendant, as High Constable, contender& that he
was entitled to the fee of 5s for going round and
colkatog the rates, and that it they refused, the
Overseers were h nod to obey his precept, and to come
to Chelmsford with the money. Upon referring to
the Act, it appeared that he was, in case of refusal of
payment of the rate by the Overseers, to apply to a
Magistrate for a warrant of distress; but there was
• as direeti. ns as-to where. the money was to be paid ;
and the•Leiroed Judge held that die High Constahle
could not .call upon the Overseer to go out of his
. huadred to pay it. The Plaintiff, therefore, recover.
ed a verdict for the 88. 12s. 6d.

This was an action agi.inst the Defendant, a far-
Ines, by Sir T. Wilson, for malicioosly shooting a
dlag valued at -AVM The parties in this action have
bad quarrels and former suits at law with each other.
The dog was shot in June, 1812, and. it was en a
trial last year that the discovery was made by a V 4 it..
DOSS in that cause (by accident) 'that the dog was
shot I.y the defendant. The consequence was, that
the pteaent action was brought.
Wm. Hasler, a steward to Sir T. Wilson, proved
that the dog wast.nissing in the early part of June,
1812. He valued the dog at 820. It was a large
N. whilundland dug.
G. Novell proved that he was mowing in a
field near Wilson House, when he was annoyed
by a smell horn the ditch, which he found to
proceed from a dog almost in a putrid state, but he
knew it to be Sit 1. Vs ilson's dog. The defendant
said he had done for him, but desired the witness to
say notbing about it.
Two female servants, who lived at the time with
Crush, said, that one Sunday in the haying season,
they were in Miss Susan Crush's bed-chamber, who
was very ill. They saw Mr. Crush and Mrs. Scruby,
standing in another room window. They heard a
Mn go off and saw the dog fall. Shortly afterwards
r. Cs usli came into his sister's room, and sj,;(l he
stopped the dog's noise. He did not know whose
dog it was, but lie believed it was Mr. T. Wilson's.
For the defendant it was insisted that this evidence
was a fabrication and untrue; and Mr. Scruby was
called, who swore that he was never in any room with
Crush when he shot any dog, and that he had never
heard Cs ush say that he had shot the plaintiPs dog.
Mrs. Scruby, formerly Miss Crush, said she remem-
bered being very ill in June, 1912, but she had no re-
collection of any gun going off in an adjoining room,
or of the conversation, as stated by the maid-servants.
