J Iu an action to recover d images fo r rna icious prosecu ion, it appeared that the only evidence on which t e plai o tl whs arrested for forgery was that pl*in riff w»s of a certain certificate of stock which one L testified tie had assigned to one 8 on the false repre en • attons of said 8, and that plaintiffs u >me was not m'-ntionwi and he did not know at the time that, he was transfer tug the stock to plaintiff though it -o appeared on th -nack o’certificate; Held. 1 such evidence did not justify a warrant for f rgery being sued out against plaintiff 2 Teat crim nal proc -edtng was in stituted on the advice of c unsel was j only e idetice to rebut the pre-umptiou : of malice. 3 Tie question as io whether the malice, wuuhmigh' tieinferrci rontfie want of probable cau-e, was rebu t d by trie < th'-r evidence should have b.*cn left to the jury.

Where in an action for damages for the dest uciion of certain goods and erch:at.di-e which were burned in the defendant's warehouse, the plaintiff iu <reduced evidence that 'he goods had The News and Observer, Wednesday, Harch 27, 1895. bten in the warehouse over two months, which fa t plaintiff knew; that, the freight had been paid ou the same and he had not been requested to remove them; that no charge was made for storage; that the night operator for the defendant company slept in a room in the warehouse but had nothing whatever to do with the freight; that saitl operator was a man of intemperate habits and that he was drunk and absent from the warehouse at the time of the fire There was in addition conflicting evidence on the part of tin- plaintiff’s witnesses as to whether the fire originat ed in the room where the operator slept or in the other end of the warehouse; also as to the sobriety and presence ot the operator at the fire; Held. 1. At the time of the fire the defen dant was not liable as a common carrier but onl\ for the want of ordinary tare as a warehouseman 2. The plaintiff was required to prove the negligence as part of his case. 3 It was not error for the judge below to hold that the evidence was insuffi ii* nf to justify the jury iu rendering a verdict for the plaint ff. 4 It is no longer necessary to submit a case to the jury be ause some evidence has be*-n introduced by the party having the burden of proof unless the evidence be of such a character that it would war rant the jury to proceed in finding a ver dict for the party introducing it.
