Duc. 24.—The Northern Katlway Company of France vs. Carpn'ies and others —The attention of the Court having been called to the condition upon which the order to dis- charge the defendants, Eugene Grelet and Felicité De- bud, was granted, 1t bas looked again into the practice in similar cases, The rule governing the Oourtsin Eng. land is tho one laid down in 1 Arch. Pr. by Chitty, p. 703. * Generally speaking if the application (to discharge frome arrests) is successful the Judge either orders the pely- wnt of the costs by the platvtiff, and restrains the de. fendavt from bringing any action on account of the ar- rests upop ep imp: oper +f leaves the de- fendant to bring tuct action without maging any order ag to costs.”” The practice in the Courts of this Sate is quite uptverfal to impcese such @ stipulation when it appears that tho arrest war made without malice and upon Lyred ble cause. No malice is alleged in this case, and that there was probable cause is manifest from tho fact that it wos made by the action of a Judge of this Court upon being suitsfed that sufficient grounds exitted to authorize it The care © tbe Benk of the United States va, Jenkinn, (18 Jotneon's Rep, p. 806.) cited by de‘endant’x counsel sustains tl practice, Ta that case the atorvey for the plaintiil issued a oa. sa. egaipet tbe cefepaapt, anc caused him to be arrested and imprisoned when bec! from bome in a distant county of the State, *!thout baving previously issued a i. fa, against bis property. ae required by statute. TaeCoart, jh vetting asice tbe ca. ta , aod directing tho defendant to be discharged from imprisonment, say: “As tae attorney of the pisiutiit would be ‘able t@ an action for falso im~ Preopwent, av- as there aght be some doudt as to the Mesoing 0: the act, and be may bave acted in good faith, We tbink wo bave a rigbt to impose terms on the defen- can. We thers fore grapt the motion, on condition that be stipulate rot to bring an action for false imprison- ment.’ The attes tion of the Court wac in that case again called to .bis condition when Cuief Justice Spencer says, “We bave again looked into the affitavit on wheh the motion was made on the first day of the term, and on re+ tbipg to warrant the practice pursued by the attorney for the pla'ptits, and ‘bat it wes merely an experiment om their part to get their money, supposing, probably, that if the defendant was taken on execution at 60 great ® distance irom howe, he would fad some meaner to tatisfy the cebt.”? The Court therefore directed the origins! rule to be amended dy striking out tne condi- ion. In this case, thereiore, there was no intimation of apy wart of power in ibe Court to impose such a condi- tion; but on the contrary, an «xpress ‘mation aad exercire of it, ard which «as only waived because the Court was ratisved procurred by malicio pores.
