Syllabus

<p>1. Slander — Evidence.</p> <p>Damages claimed on the ground of slander are not sustained by the testimony.</p> <p>2. False Imprisonment — Evidence.</p> <p>On the ground of -false imprisonment, plaintiff, unjustly subjected to imprisonment, had good cause of complaint. She was unquestionably badly treated.</p> <p>The bad treatment was not (satisfactorily in point of testimony) traced to defendant.</p> <p>The plaintiff was not arrested and imprisoned for the theft, which defendant erroneously thought had been committed.</p> <p>There was a trumped-up charge by the person who had plaintiff imprisoned, under which plaintiff was held for a few minutes.</p> <p>8. Same.</p> <p>There is grave doubt regarding the complicity of defendant in the arrest and imprisonment, and for this reason no damages are allowed against defendant.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
