1Opinion of the Court
Foote, C.
This action was for malicious prosecution. The plaintiff, Phelps, it appears, was arrested by a police officer of the city of San Francisco, under a warrant which was issued under a complaint verified by Cogswell, charging the former with having assaulted him on a street of said city. In making this arrest, the officer went to a dwelling-house, where the plaintiff in the present action was then sojourning with his wife, and informed him that he would have to accompany him (the officer) or procure and give bail for his appearance to answer the charge thus made against him
