execution. On the day that judgment was given, Mrsl
,Carter. by direction of Messrs.
.Bebb and Ganning.,ap-
plied to Sewell for payment-of the SSW. 14s. the moiety
of the money condemned. Sewell told Nlr.Carter, in the
public cfficeof the Mayor's Court, that he would bring
the money to him next morning, and was heard making
such communication, he (Mr. Carter) believed, from
what had since transpired by one or two individuals in
the office ; for when S_ well called next day to pay over
the money, and was in the act of counting it, a clerk in
-the office served him (Mr. Carter) with the attachment,
which formed the subject of the present applicatior. Mr.
Car ter having been employed in the first mentioned at•
tachment by Messrs. Bebb and Ganning, and not by
Count Linsingen, and feeling that he was accountable
to them, and that he had no right to be made a party
to st suit which might involve him in litigation, trouble,
and difficulty, refused to receive the money. While, how-
ever, the money was lying on the desk, Mr. Bebb, one of
Mr. Carters employers, coming by chance into the office,
and being told the circumstances, made himself master
of the 5281. 14s. with the consent of Sewell, who
handed it over to him and his partner. Notwithstand-
ing those facts, the plaintiffs entered this attachment
for trial. Mr. Carter denied that he had ever, directly or
indirectly, during the progress of the suit, *either seen
or corresponded with Count Linsingen, or at any other
time, and declared that he w4s solely employed by
Messrs. Bebb and Ganning, to whom, and to whom only,
he was accountable, and that he could not have paid
over the money, even if he had received it, to any ether
person, those Gentlemen having, as he believed, ad-1
vanced large sums of money to the Count, on who.e
property they had of course a lien to a considerable
amount. The alleged garnishee therefore submitted,
that inasmuch as be was an officer of that Court, even
if he had been employed by Count Linsingen, he ought
to be privileged and prorected, a.d therefore that he
ought not to be called upon to answer in this suit, but
that the Court would give the necessary protection.
The Court immediately granter a rule to show cause.
SHERIFFS COURT. •
WATERMAN v. LUTWYCHIL
This was a writ of inquiry Actor. C. ABBOTT, Eq.
Under Sheriff for Surrey, to assess a compensation in
damages for injury the plaintiff had sustaii:ed through
the defendant as milting and falsely imprisoning him.
Mr. THESSIGER stated the case to the Jury. The
plaintiff had taken a house of the,defendr.nt at R Aber•
hithe, at 301. per annum. Atter taking possession, ho
went to the garden of that house, and there he saw a
kitchen dresser, Which he took iiito his own house for
protecting it, and he communicated what he had done ,
to the defendant. and it met with his approbation. That
circumstance would show the malicious feeling with
which I he defendant had acted in this case.—On the 31 of
November last the defendant applied to Mr. Hone, a
M • playact.. at Uni-ro Hall, for a search warrant, charging
the plaintiff with a felony, in stealing this dresser acid a
lock. A warrant was pot into the hands of an officer
named Grossmith. When he got there he found Evans
waiting ; he told the plaintiff his business, who, with
the greatest frankness, showed him the dresser ; there
was not the least concealment. On the way to Union
Hal: the defendant said, " this would not have happened
if you bad not served a poor old woman as you did-
-111 stick to you." The plaintiff replied, " I know it's a
malicious act of youes,:but 11l facs this out, let it be,
wbat it will." The Learned COuntel then proceeded to
slate, that at the office the defendant had asked the
Chief Clerk whether'the Maliiitrate-adesitted of bail in
cases of felony. The case was beard by Mr. Hone, who
immedia!ely dismissed it, and sectored the dresser, and
advised the plaintiff to itutiit the parties for a conspiracy.
Mi. ADOLPHUS appeared for the defendant, and the
Jury gaie Damages, 801.
