Boush v. Fidelity & Deposit Co.
Supreme Court of Virginia
Error to a judgment of the Court of Law and Chancery of the city of Norfolk, rendered June 2, 1900, in an action of trespass on the Case, wherein the plaintiff in error was the plaintiff, and the defendant in error was the defendant.
1Opinion of the CourtWhittle, J.
This action was brought by the plaintiff in error against the defendant in error to recover damages for an alleged malicious prosecution, charging the plaintiff, as agent, at Norfolk, Virginia, of the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance Company, of New York, with the embezzlement of certain moneys, the property of his principal.
There was a verdict for the defendant, which the plaintiff moved the court to set aside upon the ground that it was contrary to the law and evidence, and also for misdirection of the jury by the court.
Both motions were overruled, and the plaintiff excepted.
