In conformity with the usual practice of the Court, the chief clerk of the Court, on receipt of the certificate, issued the writ of arrest under the seal of the Small Cause Court, and the plaintiff was arrested. [...] The plaintiff’s imprisonment hoaxing taken place under a warrant of the Court issued in regular manner, and such Court being of competent jurisdiction, the plaintiff had no cause of action as against the first defendant,—the error was wholly and entirely the error of the officers of the Small Cause Court. [...] Held, also, as regards the cashier and the chief clerk of the Small Cause Court, that the plaintiff’s suit was barred, as more than one year had elapsed from the date of the termination of the plaintiff’s imprisonment. [...] The amended plaint further states that the third defendant, as cashier of the Court, had certified to the defendant Pearse’s agent the non- payment of the decree ; and that the second defendant, as chief clerk of the Court, had upon that certificate issued the said writ of arrest under his hand and under the seal of the Court. [...] He made the non-payment of the judgment, of which he had the best possible evidence, in the certificate of the proper officer, the foundation and condition of his request for a warrant.
