Action on the case for damages for malicious prosecution. Appellee, plaintiff in the court below, had judgment against appellant, upon a trial before the court, sitting without a jury, for the sum of $50.
Nothing is presented for our consideration other than the propriety, vel non, of the trial court, on the facts, so rendering judgment in favor of appellee.
Our manner of review of the ruling referred to, based upon the statutes, and the holding *Page 351 
of the Supreme Court, is stated in McCreless v. State, 24 Ala. App. 229,133 So. 313. We will not repeat it here. Neither do we see that it would be profitable to narrate nor discuss the evidence disclosed by the bill of exceptions.
It will suffice to state that we have carefully read and examined same, in the light of the applicable rules laid down by this court in the opinion in the case of Askin  Marine Co. et al. v. Logan, 24 Ala. App. 13, 130 So. 768 — certiorari denied by the Supreme Court in Askin  Marine Co. et al. v. Horace A. Logan, 222 Ala. 52, 130 So. 770 — as well as in the light of some of the more recent direct utterances of the Supreme Court on questions involving principles similar to those controlling here (see Collum Motor Co. v. Anderson,222 Ala. 643, 133 So. 693; Caldwell v. Standard Oil Co., 220 Ala. 227,124 So. 512, and Penney v. Warren, 217 Ala. 120,115 So. 16), and it is our opinion, and we hold, that under the rule (hereinabove referred to) laid down for our guidance in the review of the ruling presented we are unable to say that the action of the trial court in rendering the judgment appealed from should be reversed.
It is therefore affirmed.
Affirmed.
