Gibbs against Dunn.
Mich. 24 Car. Banc. Reg.
GIbbs brought an Action upon the Case against Dunn,* 1.1 for these several words spoken of him by the Defendants Wife at several times, viz. thou art a thief for stealing my corn out of my Barn, and at another time for saying thou art a thief. The Plaintiff hath a verdict; The Defendant mo∣ved in arrest of Iudgement, that entire dammages were given for both the words; whereas the first words were not actionable:* 1.2 for the Feme being a Feme Covert could have no Corn of her own, for it was her Husbands Corn, and so there could be no stealing of her Corn. But the Court answered, that in common intendment the Corn is hers and her Husbands Corn, though in legal construction it be not so, and the Scan∣dal is great, although it appear that the words were spoken by a Feme co∣vert. Therefore let the plaintiff take his Iudgement, except cause be shewn to the contrary. Iudgement was given the same Term, because the last words were held to be accumulative.
