Head Matter:
SCUDDER against BLOOMFIELD and MARSH.
ON CEKTIOKABI.
The action below, was brought by Bloomfield and Marsh against Seudder, on the timber act. The state of demand was for cutting 12 trees, $96. The judgment was rendered for $8.41, with costs.

Opinion:
By the Count.
Here is no judgment for any penalty. It is evident the jury considered the action below as an action of trespass; for in rendering their verdict they say, we find $8.41 damages; whereas, the action is an action of debt for penalties under the timber act.
Chetwood, for plaintiff.
Judgment reversed.
