Opinion
Per Curiam. Let the evidence go to the jury.—The line of distinction between trespass and case, in many instances, is so nice, that it seems difficult to discover it ; this appears to be one of that description, but modern authorities seem rather to incline to trespass than case. Verdict for the plaintiff, for $350. Rule for a new trial, which was discharged. Vide 5 T. R. 648; 6 T. R. 125; 3 Wil. 403; 1 Esp Rep. 54; 6 T. R. 128, n. 2 Hen. & Mun. 423; 2 Goulds ed. Esp. N. P. 214 215.
