'f 114 plaintiff was a re. ; Naretable pawnbroker, residing in Hot utn, and lie now .might to recover a comyensation in elan.ages, fur an illegal, soul led and malicious prosecution, which In .it been iu sti_ hr ted aaainst him by the defendant. and in consequence of which, he 11:141 been iniprianned on a charge of felony, amongst felons, ter 24 hours. The defendain teas well able to pay da mages, for he was hacked by the Diret tots of the Bank of England. Tile present was an action which would decide a great and impoi taut point of law, lie had a greet respect for meny of the Bank Directors individually. Colleetivo ly, they • were a great and num sespeetable trailing compony but they were only a troling company, min lie knew , of no right they had to take cue law into their own halide, and to decide for themselves, any more than the West India Dock, or any other trading comanity Ilea. Their wealth was Cl' I tainly great. and it was st,i4l, great wealth gave great power; but he had still to learn, that their wealth, he it eves so great, would set than above the law. The facts of flue case were as followe ,—The plain:id' had, iu the coorse of his trade, re ceit e4l a one pound note from a person mimed Corwin, whose address, No. 4, Tavisteak-street, was put on the note at the liaise ft was taken. The plaintiff afterwards paid the Hole to a person named Bull : by Mall it was paid to others, and idthoately it was uatilered at Nye Bank, when it was stopt as a forged one. On the '2 Ii of December, Isl 6, the ,f o looda t o W o o is a Bank Inspector. applied to the and stated, that the note was a forged cue, giving it to Mr. Brooks, who. sot examining it, immediately knew it to be the smite a hich he lead paid to Mr. Bull, and told the defile (laid so saying lie wt.•. 1.1 gu awd give Mr. Bull another for it. The plaintiff:int' defendant tiCell(lingis went together to Mr. Bull, and plaintiff paid to pound in lieu of the forged one. They then returned to pleantiffs 'tense, when the de fendant demanded the note. The plaiiitiff, however, ntitsed to give it up. He stated who took it from, but said he would keep it and try to focuser his money bark ; mid that the note !Mould, in the mean time, he forthcoming a henevet called fur, if a prosecution should be instituted. This did not satisfy the defelidant, who told Mr.ltrool a, unless he gave III) the note ; a process would issue against him and on his ' , till refusing to give it Hp, the defendant applied to Mr. Baker, a magistrate at Hatton Garden, mid upon his deposi tion the plaintiff wits summoned before Mr. Baker, to answer for so felony. lie /Mr. Scarlet?) supposed the defendant fuonded ale protertiatig on the Art of the 4:oth of the Kin;,,, which provided, that any person bovine a forged note in has possession, knowing it to be so, and not being able satisfac torily loam-omit for the manner in which it had Count. into his possession, should be guilty of felony and lioble to be trans ported foe 14 years. %V heti the summons froth the magisto ate was delivered, Mr. Brooks attended immediately, anti the defend:out then preferred his charge against him, of having, know ugly and atlhrrglV , and without sufficient excuse, in his possession, a forged note, pad upon this charge the plaintiff was committed to the New Prison as a felon. He was after. woods biought sip for a second examination, when Mr. West wood attended as solicitor to the Dank ; and the plaintiff was then told, that if he would give up the note lie would be ti bcuated. The plaintiffs still refused to give it up, boot at length he compromised the matter, and deposited the forged unto, (as it was called) in the hands of the alagisto ate, and from that clay to this, he understood, it remained in the hands of the Magistrate, scaled up, tin step having been taken upon it ; 1101 had the plaintiff received any compensation tot the iionry he had sustained in toeing imprisoned and dragged through the streets as a felon. To obtain compensation fur that injury, and to clear his own character, the plandiff brought the present action. Lord Ellenborougli observed, that on the opening of the Learned Counsel, it appeared both parties had been w rung. ; Neither pat h could have a property iu the forged cote. It was a nuisance, and only available to promote (fee ends of • justice. When tendered the Bank had a right to lay hands on it, anal detain it; but then hail no right to itnprison the plaintiff tinder this Act, for a felony, since lie accounted for the note being in his possession most satisfactorily. Th., de tenting the note by the Rank in the first lavislare might have been Justiciable; the eubsetitieut ptoeeediogs were an excess. Mr, Scarlet said, it was for the malicious imprisonment the plaintiff sought actress. Loro Elleuleaouee ottserved, the conduct of the Bank, on all occasions, was such #a to prove there was no malice.

Witness Said if he wished to try the question with the. Bank, he would commit him for five minutes. and he might then he admitted to bail. Witness said, if after this notice he detained the note, he would, in his opinion, have possession of it without lawful excuse. Lord Ellenhoiough—That decision was wrong. The har ing unlawfully in possession must relate to haviiig possession in the first instance-, and rut to any enlist quern possession, lie had given estop fur it, and that was a jultitiable excuse. Besides, the nuts was marked " tinged; lied could do no Wither 1141111. Mr. Gurney—Oh, my Lord. instarcea have been known in which this mask uas been obliterated, aad a relitteting had been made. Lord Ellenborongh observed, this did not alter the ease,— The contest scented to be, whether the pt rscusl libertv ,t thy subject should be invaded, or tire law of the Batik Clerk should be declared to be wrong. Mr. Topping addressed the Jury on tho part of the de fendant, and contended that U r plaintiff was not justified it. detuining the note front the defendant. If tins were to be allowed, it would go very.far 41 prevent the discovery of the original fabricator of she notes nine link a out of tcw. He also contended, that here was no malice whatever against the plaintiff; on the contrary, if he s' or Id have consented tu bus c put in bail, he would not have been committed at all. The Bank had only acted as they considered they were justified b y law in act i ng ;. an d /vela if the Jury shoc.id, ender MS I,l)fliSh4 , 'S direction. consider they were nut strictly within the protection of the law, and that a rilict shonid be token for the plaintiff, he submitted, that iery stnalidadialti, would be a compensation .or an evil be heal bioi:ght hansell Lord gllenhorougli summed op ; and iu troieg :so, said, the plaintiff had given all die information inihis power respecting this note; and there was not a shadow of gamin] to say. lie came within the clause which made it retail to have* forged note in his possession, nor able sa:isfactorily to arroinit for his. same The plain: it bad teken the note in the course of his trade; he informed the cloftmJant of whom he took it, and rave all the inforniarci; in his power. After having dune this, he was taken helm e a IVlatostrate, and im• prisoriud as a felon. It would be rather too numb now to say, he had no cause of cidiiplainr. The only question was, abetbt r the deft ihit,atter having dtiivered this note to tiro plaintiff, had any right to demand it bark again. He cer tainly had not ;, as far as the question of roperty could go it: the case of a forged note, which, as he observed, was a tinisauce, and (Amid truly be used as property, as forwarding the ens. of justice—that property was in the plaintiff. The Bark. when it was tendered to then., might have destroyed it, having proved it ;o be a forgery; but they bad no esense for charging the plaintiff with a felony. He had wished to pievent this discussion. which could do no public good, bet might or productive of evil. The note was in the plaintiff 's. possession ; iu his Lordship's opinion, Ito one had skean a rirlit to take it from him. If the Jur) should thibk the vase made wit, they would find a verdict for the plaintiff, w irhi such damages as they considered a lair compensation; they would estimate the damages proportionate to the injury, with out considering the wealth of the party who would have t paythein. _ . • The Jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff, t i aniages 501.; co. .s 40..
