Watson against Norbury

[3] watson against noebury. 21 Car. Bane. Eeg. Mich. 20 Car. Rot. 156. Action upon the case. Watson brought an action upon the case against Norbury, for procuring a commission of bankrupt against him, by virtue whereof he broke open his shop, and took away his goods and shop-books, whereby he was so discredited that he lost his trade, to hia damage, &c. To this the defendant pleads, that the plaintiff did heretofore bring his action of trespass for the breaking open of his shop, and for the taking away of his goods, and had in that action recovered damages against him, and demands if he shall not be thereby barred in this action; and that he should be barred the defendants councell alleged, that a recovery in one personal action is a bar in all personal actions touching the same thing, and that here the action of trespass formerly brought,. 8TY1E.1 HILL. 21 CAB. 485 and the action of the case now brought were personal actions, and that they were both brought for the game thing, and therefore the plaintiff ought to be barred ; it was also urged that an action of the case lies not in this case, for that, to ground an action upon the case, there must appear to be malice in the party that did the fact, and prejudice to the party to whom the fact is done, but there appears no malice here, for what was done is said to be done, by virtue of a commission of bankrupt which shall be intended a lawfull authority to warrant the fact, and not grounded upon malice, so that malice and prejudice do not both appear, but only damage, and that alone will not support this action, for neither for damage alone without malice, nor for malice without damage will an action upon the case lie. But to this it was answered (to which the Court enclined) that this action upon the case was not brought for the same cause that the action of trespass was formerly brought, for that was only for the breaking open of the shop, and taking away his goods, and the damages he received thereby, but this action is brought for the damage he sustained, by the losse of his credit, and hindrance in his trade thereby, caused bv the defendants taking out a commission of bankrupt against him, and by colour thereof breaking open his shop and taking away his goods, and so disparaging him in his reputation, whereby he lost his trade; and though the breaking open of his shop, and the taking away his goods...
