Description
The verdict established that the defendant had wrongfully caused the arrest of the plaintiff under a void warrant, and that the defendant was actuated by malice. Both compensatory and punitive damages were assessed, under separate issues, and from judgment on the verdict defendant appealed. Error is assigned chiefly on the ground that the complaint set out a cause of action for malicious prosecution, and that the court submitted instead issues pertinent to an action for false arrest, and that the case was tried on that theory. Defendant contends his motion for judgment of nonsuit should have been allowed.
