William p. Hooker

benjamin b. Brown ais.
This was an action Of trespass for breaking
into the plaintiffs dwelling house, seizing
him, and carrying him off TO, and combining
him in the common Jail at Middebury. Ad-
nah Smith was originally one OF the dclen-
dants IN this case. but has died since the
commencement of the suit. 1t appeared
that said Adnah Smith, having in his hands
an execution against the body of rhe plaintiff
called upon the defendant TO assist him in
serving said process; tina, they accordingly
went with said Sheriff 10 the dwelling house
of said Hooker. fonnd the outer door fasien-
ed, and for the purpose Of serving said execu-
ton, without the consent Of the plaintiff, broke
open said door, and after some resistance by
said Hooker, arrested him and took him a.
way TO jail. For the resistance above allud-
ed TO, the said Hooker was indicted, and in
that case, The Supreme Court III VI. Rep.
658) held, that not only was the breaking OF
the outer door. but also lin consequence of
such lnrcibIc entry) the subsequent arrest Of
The plaintiff illegal, and that he was justified
in resisting the officer. The question it this
case was, whether the present defend ants
who acted as assistants Of the sheriff, were
justified by his commands. After argument
by Linsley & Barber for the plaintiff and by
Briggs & Phelps for the defendants. The
Court per Hall J. held that the original act
OF tie Sheriff being illegal, his commands did
moi justify the defendants. and that they were
liable 10 the plaintiff; and that this case was
difierest from the case where the original act
of the Sheriff is legal, but by some abuse of
his authority he becomes ireaspasser al
initio. In such a case, and some OTHERS
as where the Sheriff at has discretion calls
out the mililia-the Sherifls assistants might
be justified though he would not.

The question in this case was whether a
person, under our Statute, can lie made trus-
tee for money received by him as usuiy or
interest above the Iare of per cent.
The case was argued by Briggs g. Prout
for The plaintiff and Barber IL Phelps for the
Trustee.
The Court, per Redfeld J. held that under
the 4lh Section Of the Trustee Act, the irus-
tee process only extends TO cases where there
is all express, or implied contract between the
trustee aud principal debtor, arising i'll the
usual course oftusiness. and creating fdn-
ciary relation between them; ard that il
does not extend to those cases where the law
permits person TO waive the tort and sue
in form er-contrdcta for some wrongful act Of
another, or in the Case Of goods or money OBJ
tanned by fraud or iorce; nor 10 cases where
the law gives person remedy in form er
cmtractu to recover If another money whio h
the latter has obtained of him in violation of
some positive statute, rs in case of money
lost al play. or usury. Nor does the statute
of 1916. relarive toIhe construction of said 4th
Section, extend the trustee law to such cases.
For be fore that staruicr might have been held
that person could be made trustee for snch
claims only. as were recoverable at lar; and
the manifest object of that statute upon fair
and sensible construction, was TO extend the
trustee process 10 such Claims as arc merely
equitable or can be enforced only in equity.
