thereupon a Prohibition was granted And a Prohibition was granted in this Court upon this surmise That the Custome was that Tithes should not be paid of Pheasants 60. If there be no Venire facias it is not Error but it is helped by the Statute But if there be a Venire facias and it is erroneous it is not holpen by any Statute Trinity-Term 15º CAROLI in the Kings Bench. 61. A Man indicted others at the Sessions-house in the Old-Baily who were acquitted and the Defendants Counsel did remove the Indictment into the Kings Bench and prayed a Copy thereof to the end they might bring a Conspiracie or have other remedy for the wrong done unto them And it was denied by the whole Court unless the Recorder will say That there appeared malice in the prosecution For a man shall not be punished for lawful prosecution upon just ground without malice although the parties be acquitted by Law The King against the Inhabitants of Shoreditch 62. MAster Keeling Clerk of the Crown in the Kings Bench did exhibit an Information against the Inhabitants of Shoreditch for not repairing the High-way And the Issue was Whether they ought to repair it or no And it was said by the Court That by the Common Law the Inhabitants of a Parish ought to repair all High-ways lying within the Parish If prescription did not bind some particular person thereto which was not in this Case And in this Case some of the Inhabitants would have been Witnesses to prove that some particular Inhabitants lying upon the High-way had used time out of minde to repair it but were not permitted by the Court because they were Defendants in the Information wherefore the Jury found That the Inhabitants ought to repair the way 63. Two men and their wives were Indicted upon the Statute of Forcible Entry who brought a Certiorari to remove the Indictment into the Kings Bench. Some of them did refuse to be bound to prosecute according to the Statute of 21 Iac. c. 8. and therefore notwithstanding the Certiorari the Justices of Peace did proceed to the trial of the Indictment and here it was resolved That whereas the Statute is The parties Indicted c. shall become bound c. That if one of the parties offer to find Sureties although the others will not yet that the cause shall be removed for the denying of one or any of them shall not prejudice the other of the benefit of the Certiorari which the Law gives unto them And the Woman cannot be bounden And it was farther resolved that where the Statute saith That the parties Indicted shall be bound in the sum of ten pounds with sufficient Sureties as the Justices of the Peace shall think fit that if the Sureties be worth ten pounds the Justices cannot refuse them because that the Statute prescribes in what sum they shall be bound Like to the Case of Commission of Sewers 10 Rep. 140. a. That where the Statute of 3. H. 8. cap. 5. enables them to ordain Ordinances and Laws according to their wisdoms and discretions that it ought to be interpreted according to Law and Justice And here it was farther resolved that after a Certiorari brought and tender of sufficient Sureties according to the Statute all the proceedings of the Justices of Peace are coram non Iudice The Argument of the Lord Chief Iustice in the Case between James and Tintny in a Writ of Error to reverse Iudgment given in the Common Pleas for Tintney Defendant in a Replevin brought by James the Case was thus vis 64. STowel was Lord of a Mannor and Iames one of the Tenants and there the custome was That the Steward of the Mannor might make Laws and Ordinances for the well-ordering of the Common And the custome was also to Assess a penalty or a pain upon those who brake those Laws and Ordinances And also to prescribe to distrain for the penalty The Steward made an Ordinance That he who put his Cattle beyond such a bound that he should pay 3 s. 4 d. Iames offended against this Ordinance upon which the penalty was assessed and a distress taken by Tintny Defendant in the Replevin Plaintiff and Baily of the Lord of the Mannor And Judgment was given for him in the Common Pleas and damages assessed Upon which a Writ of Error was brought In this Case it was agreed by the whole Court that the Custom was reasonable And the difference taken where the Law or Ordinance takes away the whole profit of the Commoners and where it abridgeth it only or adds limits or bounds to it as in this Case And farther it was agreed That the Commoners are bound to take notice of these Ordinances But in this Case the Er●or which was assigned was this That damages were given for the Defendant where no damages ought to have been given And of that Opinion was the Lord chief Justice that no damages ought to have been given and with him agreed Justice Iones but Justice Crook and Justice Barckley è contra It is clear that at the Common Law the Defendant shall not have damages although as to some intent the Avowant be as it were a Plaintiff and Actor 21. H. 6. 2. 6. H. 4. 11. 35 H. 6. 47. Then the Question ariseth only upon these two Statutes viz. 7. H. 6. cap 4. 21. H. 8. c. 19. And first whether our Case be within the Letter of these Laws Admitting that not Whether within the mischief so as that it shall have the same remedy And I conceive it is not within the Letter or Equity of these Statutes Not within the Letter for they speak Where a man distrains for Rents Customs and Services or damage ●easant And in our Case he doth not distrain for any of them for it is manifest that he doth not distrain for Rents Services or Damage feasant And it is as clear that he doth not distrain for Customs for he distrained for a penalty assessed by Custom 1. In Alcocks case it was here resolved That where a prescription was alledged to distrain for an Estray and found for the Avowant that no damages should be in that case For it was here resolved that the Customs intended in 21 H. 8. cap. 19. are Customs which are Services 2ly I hold it not within the Equity for the mischief at the Common Law was That damages were not to be recovered for such Rents Services c. And this penalty is no Service And I conceive clearly That it was not the meaning of the Makers of the Act of Parliament to extend to such penalties And here I further take the difference which is in Pilfords case in the 10 Rep. 116. In all cases where a man at the Common Law cannot recover damages If a Statute give damages there he shall recover no costs for the same is an Act of Creation which gives remedy where none was given before But where there is an Act of Addition which increaseth the damages at the
