Hall say that it was time for the company to depatt at

Thomas Apgood proved that he had offered himself

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, for the defendants, sub-
mitted that there was no evidence to criminate either
of the defenclAnts, ercept Hall, against whom he ad-
mitted a verdict must pass; but that verdict, he con-
tended, should be for a very trifling amount; fur Hall,
as an officer of the parish, had only done his duty in
clearing the house at that late hour of the night. It
was absolutely necessary in such neighbourhoods as
those that the hour for closing public-houses should be
strictly observed. The Learned Sergeant then remarked
on the length of time which had elapsed before the
action was brought, and, in conclusion, repeated that
the case was not one calling for heavy damages.
Mr. Justice GAIIICLEC said, that since Stirling was
dead, it was unnecessary for the Jury to trouble them-
selves about him. It was for them to say whether they
believed Scuddet.had taken any past in the transaction;
if she had not, they would acquit him. It had been
proved chat Hall was the perpetrator of the whore. and
against him a verdict must pass, but for what amount
it was peculiarly for the Jury to say. For his own part,
his Lordship thought it should be very moderate.
The Jnry hesitated for a short time, but at length ac-
quitted Scudder, and found a verdict for the plaintiff
against Hall—Damages MI.
