At the Supreme Court this morning Mr Jastido Gompertz gave judgment in the case in which Lai Chi Chin sued. Tang Wony Shi toʻrecover. $70,000, dum= | agos for wrongful arrest and 'Folge l- prisonment," on, the 28th February, 1908.
Hon. Mr H. E Rollock, K.C., instruct ed by Mr G."K. Hall Bruttó ned år Hind was for the plaintiff, and defendant was represented by Mr G. G. Alabaster, instructed by Mr P. W. Goldring.
His Lordship said - This is a metion for judgment by the plaintiff on a point of law reserved at the trial for further argument. The facts are shortly as follows :-An order ni for the issue of a warrant to bring the plaintiff before the Court to show, cansa had been made by the Chief Justice under section 566 of the Code, in an action is
ritch the plaintiff was defendant and the presont defendant was the plaintiff, The the same day under a warrant in the usual now plaintiff was arrested by the bailiff on form at about 5p.m. in the Court was not | sitting) · The bailiff then, therefore, brought” the plaintif to the Registry where a second WAITRNU was prepared under which the" phiotif was taken to the civil prison 'and' there detained for some hours until the amount of security ordered had been found, when he wna released. Section 27 of Ordinance 3 of 1873 authorizes the bailiff to convey to prison all such persons as mingy be committed to his custody by order of the Court. Apparently it has been the practico here for many years for a second warrant to bo propared when there is it the time of the arrest no Court sitting before whom the prisoner can be taken to show cause. This quirant was issued as Authority to the bailiff to detain the person arrested. Were this not done the bailiff would be bound to keep the person arrested in his own custody. On the follow- ing day the parties appeared in chambers before the Chief Justice, who discharged the warrant and set aside the proceedings; and also ordered a prosecution for perjury of the person who had made the de claration on which the order had been nude. Learned Counsel for the plaintif argued that as the proceedings had been set aside for want of good faith, on the part of the applicant, the present defondant tho was liable, not only on the case for malicious arrest, but as for a trespass, and he asked for judgment on the findings of the jury. I was in doubt whether the pleadings were so drawn as to raise the, question of trespass upon this 'ground but gave love to amend the plaintiff's plead
