Bixby v. Brundige

68 Mass. 129 | Mass. | 1854

Merrick, J.

As the magistrate had no jurisdiction of the offence of which the plaintiff was accused in the complaint, the proceedings before him were of no legal force or validity; and they therefore afford no sufficient basis to sustain an action for malicious prosecution. Exceptions overruled
