The marshal is compensated for his official
services by fees, and cannot lawfully rent any
building in his custody, except under the order
Of the court.
| IF the evidence in this case satisfies you that
he did 81 rent the building in question, and
| that in consequence of such renting damages
were sustained by the plaintiff, it will be your
duty to render verdict accordingly.
The evidence is conflicting. 1t is your buai-
ness, gentlemen, to s1ft 1t. The amount OF
| damages, il you find that any has been caused
by the act Of the defendant, is for your deter
| miuation.

for plaintiff of $500 damages.
