RECORD COURT-T[PPERAQY, JULY 2S.

INTERESTING RECORD.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT UNDER THE INSURRECTION ACT.
PATRICK CARROLL, Pl4tat q RICHARD FALKINER,
Defendant.
This was an action brought by Plsintiff azainst Defend-
ant, who is a Magistrate of the County, for false imprison.
Inc RI.

Mr. SCOTT stated the cam to the Court. The Plaintiff,
lie said, was a respectable shopkeep ot, living in the to vn
of 13irr—and the Defendant a Gentleman of rank, the pre-
sumptive heir to a landed property, and a Grand Juror of
this County. There was no action more deserving imblie
attention or support—for they would find that the Defend-
ant was guilty of a corrupt,' because partial discharge of
his duty as a Magistrate—of that trust committed to him
fur the public good. The law gave great protection to
Magistrates; it provides that a wonth's notice shall be
given them that they may render meads—that they may
not be taken by surprise and if they act honestly they are
entitled to protection. lie was instructed to state that the
Defendant lent himself to one party io this agitated County;
that he had taken on himself to commit the Plaintiff to the
custody of the Police, and without any information on
oath, sent him to prison, without any charge being prefer-
red a4ainst him, or any crime committed by him. The
Defendant endravoured to shelter himself under the pro-
visions of the Insurrection Act ; but he would tell the Jury
that the greater these powers were, the more they infringed
on the liberty of the subject, tars more jealous should their
execution be watched and guarded ; and the Plaintiff stood
as the representative of that middle class of s flirty whose
rights should be protected by a Jury. The Plaintiff, in
the course of dealing, became posy-ssed of the bill of Mr.
Charles Walsh, who then lived at Walsh Park, which he
passed to a Mr. Mad ten ; the bill was dishonoured, a writ
Seal sent down to Plaintiff to bare s oved on Mr. Walsh,
who was 'then strongly protected from the iutrusion of
process servers; the brother baying gone to
tValsh Park to serve the writ, was brnial4i asmalted and
