Plаintiff sued defendants for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. There was judgment for plaintiff agаinst defendant Croff and judgment for defendant Moote. Plaintiff brings error.
Defendant Croff, at the time the cause оf action is said to have arisen, operated a dance hall in the vicinity of Ensley Center, Newaygo county. There had been disturbance there by reason of intoxication of frequenters of the place. On the night in question, when plaintiff was there, a deputy sheriff of Newaygo county was in attendance. On account of parties being drunk and disorderly, the deputy called defendant Moote, sheriff, who, with another deputy, visited the place. Some arrests were made. Defendant Moote made inquiry as to who had caused the disturbance. He told Croff unless he cleaned up the place he (the sheriff) would. It is clаimed reference was made to people living in different localities, as the “Grand Rapids bunch” аnd others. Plaintiff called defendant Moote as well as defendant Croff for cross-examination under the statute (3 Comp. Laws 1915, § 12554). Such witnesses were thereby made witnesses of plaintiff, and plaintiff is bound by their testimony, except in so far as such testimony is disputed. Under the statute the plaintiff is not estopped from disputing the testimоny of the opposite party called on cross-examination, by reason of having called him аnd made him a witness for himself, but, in the consideration of the testimony of the opposite party, she cаnnot select isolated por

tions of that testimony and claim a force and effect for it which the whole testimony of the witness does not warrant.
