Mr. Justice Waterman

delivered the opinion or the Court.

In an action for malicious prosecution, it is necessary that the plaintiff should prove that the defendant, in the institution of the prosecution complained’ of, acted maliciously and without probable cause.

There was upon the trial below no evidence of a want of probable cause. The jury were therefore properly instructed to find the defendant not guilty.
