Metcalfe versus Hodgson Case MEtcalfe brought an action upon the case against Hodgson and Wharton late Sheriffs of the City of York and count That wheras time out of memory c. there hath been a Court of Record holden before the Sheriffs of the said City upon the Bridge called Ousbridge An action of the case lies not against a Sheriff for taking of insufficient Bail being Iudges and that in this Court every one having cause of action arising within the said City had used to commence any action for debt there and that the Defendants being arrested by their bodies the Sheriffs had used to take Bayle of them and to let them to Bayle finding sufficient sureties and that the Sheriffs are also and time out of memory have been Keepers of the Gaol there And wheras the Plaintiff had brought an action against one Smith and recovered the now Defendants being Sheriffs had taken insufficient Bail of him c. And upon Not guilty pleaded it was tryed before the Lord chief Baron at York for the Bail are supposed to be taken at Wakefield but that was not alledged for any thing which appears to be out of their Iurisdiction And the Iury contrary to the direction of the Lord chief Baron gave Verdict for the Plaintiff And after many motions in Arrest and praying of Iudgment it was resolved that this act was done by them as Iudges and for this Iudiciall Act no action lay And though that the Bail by the event appear to be insufficient yet there is no remedy by action upon the case it being without fraud or corruption and not for reward And this Case differs nothing from the ordinary cases of all insufficient Bailes taken by any of the Kings-Bench Common Bench or Exchequer And that they having two Authorities in una persona it shall be taken to be done by that Authority by which they have power to vail and that is as Iudges of the Court and not as Gaolers for by this they have no power to Bail any and in this capacity they are only subject to an escape vide Dyer 163.

Booton against the Bishop of Rochester A Quare impedit was brought by Booton against the Bishop of Rochester who pleads that he claims nothing but as Ordinary and yet pleads further that the Clerk which the Plaintiff present had before contracted with the Plaintiff Simoniacally Insufficient return on a Writ in Quare Impedit to the Arch bishop and therfore because he was Simoniacus he refused him and that the Church was then void and so remained void wherupon the Plaintiff had a Writ to the Arch-bishop of Canterbury who returned that before the coming of this Writ viz. 4 July the Church was full of one Mr. Doctor Grant ex collatione of the said Bishop of Rochester which had collated by Laps and this return was adjudged insufficient First it is clear that though the six months passe yet if the Patron present the Bishop ought to admit although it
inclosing Woods but suffering them to lye open after cutting by the space of one month he alledged the cutting the tenth of April and the lying open untill the second of May which was not a month And upon Not guilty pleaded it was found for the Plaintiff and upon motion in Arrest of Iudgment it was awarded that the Defendant eat inde sine die and no costs And the Lord Hobart said that this Statute was made for the ease of the Subject and for avoiding and preventing of vexations and therfore did enumerate all the cases in which the Informer could not prevail and had many words that the Statute of 23 of H. 8. or any other Statute doth not give expresly costs upon demurrer and this is not within 23 H. 8. if upon discontinuance And now the matter passe against the informer be it by Verdict or Iudgment all is one for the makers of this Statute intended to curb all vexatious Informers And if it shall be suffered that Informers may inform upon Statutes not in force and pay no costs that would open a Window to the great vexation of the Subjects And for Presidents not inflicted upon they are of little esteem And I concurred and though Verdict be found for the Informer yet there being no Statute there can be no Offence and it is in Law as not guilty And this case is within the meaning and Letter of the Statute for the Statute intend costs where the cause passe against the Informer be it by default of matter or form Winch doubted of this speciall case because the matter is found for the Informer but he agreeh if it were upon Iudgment upon demurrer or speciall Verdict costs should be given And Iustice Warburton was of opinion that there should be no costs in this case for he is not capable to sue where the Statute is discontinued And so if the Venue be misawarded and he said that he had conference with the Lord chief Baron who also held that there should be no costs in this case And so the matter rests Blackburnes Case Norff.
