Syllabus
<p>MALICIOUS PROSECUTION — PROBABLE CAUSE-EVIDENCE.</p> <p>1. In a suit for damages for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution, plaintiff must ■show that he was arrested at the instance or instigation of the defendant, and that the latter acted maliciously, and that there was no probable cause for the prosecution. When it is shown that the prosecution was without probable cause, malice is usually inferred. An acquittal, per se, is not sufficient evidence of want ■of probable cause.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
