Ward versus Rich.

WArd brought an Action against Hatton Rich de uxore ab∣ducta, and keeping of her from him, usque such a day, which was sometime after the exhibiting of the Bill, and concluded contra formam Staturi.

After Verdict for the Plaintiff, it was moved in Arrest of Judg∣ment,

and the Declaration was held good notwithstanding the im∣pertinent Conclusion of contra formam Statuti, there being no Statute in the Case.

Secondly, The Court Resolved, that Judgment should be stayed; for the Jury shall be intended to give Damages for the whole time mentioned in the Declaration: As in Trespass, with a Con∣tinuando, to a day after the Writ brought, the Plaintiff shall not have Judgment after Verdict, which gives Damages by Intend∣ment for the whole time declared for.

And Twisden said, These two Cases were Resolved: A Trades∣man brought an Action in an Inferiour Court, for slandering of him in his Trade, by which he lost his Custom within the Iuris∣diction of that Court, & alibi; and it was held maintainable not∣withstanding the alibi.

The other was an Action brought upon the Sale of several things for divers Sums of Money quae quidem pecuniarum sum∣mae attingunt ad 10 l whereas rightly computed they came but to 9 l The Jury gave Damages less than 9 l and it was held good: But if the Verdict had been for 10 l it had been naught.
