was afterwards paid by the plaintiff to Maim but the
1 0 U was not returned, neither was the object effected
for which the money had been paid, for the plaintiff
still continued in custody on the suit of the Crown.—
Finding that he had been imposed upon,the plaintiff pre-
feried an indictment against Miller for obtaining from
hint 1,0001. by false pretences; and immediately upon
this Miller lodged a detainer against him, and sued oat
a commission of bankruptcy, which he obtained by
falsely sweating that the I 0 U for 1,0031. 'httd'" been
sa‘sed to him by Oldfield for a valuable Consideration.,
At th it time the plaintiff was carrying on an extensive.
business as a wine-merchant, but under the commission
his stock was swept away, his connection destroyed.
and his family del tiveil of that source of maintenance.
The plain iff petitioned the Vice-Chancellor to have,
the bankruptcy superseded, and after affidavits had.
hero put in on both sides, the Vice-Chancellor. directed
an issue to be tried, to determine whether Oldfield: was
indebted to Miller in the sum of 1,0001. or not. The
cause was beard at the last Assizes at Kingston, when
the Juty found that Oldfield did not owe Miller 1,0001.
or any past of that sum. The consequence was, that
the commission of bankruptcy was superseded. But in
the mean time Oldifield had sustained serious injuries
from the conduct of Miller, and it was to recover 'com-
pensation for these that the present action was btonght.
Mi. Hill produced a copy of the affidavit of Miller,
sweating a debt of 1,0001. and upon which the com-
mission of bankruptcy had issued. _ _

Mr. Parish, of the Betio Prison, proved that
tae plaintiff was detained at the suit of Miller three
months. He was thea within the *ails.
Cros•-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—He was not
taken within the walls because of the detainer lodged
by Mille:, but because he hid broken the rules. There
was a detainer previously lodged against him by a Mr.
Abbotburn.

Mr. Thomas Mason. auctioneer, proved that the
auction value of the wines taken under the consmislion
was 2 6981. ; •
Mt. Po: ter, clerk to Oldfield. proved that he managed
tit, wine business for him. The profits were about 8001.
a year. The pi...fit on spirits was 20 per cent. 4nd on
wines from ten to fifteen.

Cross ermined—Prom the= 8004 profits were to be
deducted his salary,- the rent of the warehoose, and other
tal expenses. Oldfield had been exchequered in
the sum of 5004 for a false permit which had been drawn.
He had :made no • deduction for- that, in estimating
the profits.
Mi. William Berwood, messenger• to the Commis.
sioners of Bankrupt, proved taking possession of Old-
field's goods under the commission.
~ • • •
Mr. Spu', attorney to the commission, proved that the
difference between the taxed costs recovered by Oldgeld
atter the superseding of the commission, and the costs
actually incurred; was 2254165. Icli I-. •
Mr. Amusing, for the defence, contended that the
damages ought to be very moderate, as it 'was, clear.
that with regard to the imprisoninent.Oldfield bad sus-
tained no injury from the detainer lodged against him
by Miller, he being,. previous tn and during that time,
in custody at the suit df another person._
