1Opinion of the CourtLong, J.
This is an action for malicious prosecution. The case was tried before a jury, and a verdict directed in favor of the defendants. Plaintiff brings error.
It appears that on July 19, 1892, the defendant Downey made a complaint in writing before one of the police justices of the city of Detroit, charging the plaintiff with the larceny of a wheelbarrow, the property of the defendant railroad company. The warrant was issued by the police justice, and the plaintiff, while not actually arrested, was brought before the justice, and answered the complaint, and upon trial was discharged.
