Counsel

S, Foot, moved that Wait be discharged,, S. Stevens, contra,

Gay v. Rogers

Opinion of the Court

Curia.

That statute circumscribes the common law privilege to actual term time, during which it is no greater than it was before the statute. Officers of the Court were never privileged, when sued with others. The reasoning of the Court in Tiffany v. Driggs, as to the statute, (1 R. L. 387) applies, therefore, to the act, (1 R. L. 418, s. 12) up-which the defendant moves.

Motion denied.
