 first extraction, and the action well lay, for they had exceeded their jurisdiction; for low wines of the first extraction were not chargeable within the act of parliament; and if they had charged a duty upon a liquor not chargeable with it, they were not to be excused for having named it strong waters. If a justice of the peace commits a man for being the Father of a bastard child no action lies against the justice if the man was the father of a bastard otherwise if he had no bastard at all. So the case between Nickols and Walker, Cro. Car. 394, (a) is good law, for there an inhabitant of Tottridge was charged to the poor of Hatfield; and the justices of the peace have power to award a distress, where a person is assessed to the poor of the parish where he hath land or is an inhabitant; but where he is charged to the relief of another parish there the case is beyond their jurisdiction. But if the cause of the commitment were traversable yet the plea of the defendants here is good, for it shews with certainty in what the ill-administration of the physic consisted viz in the use of unwholesome drugs: and although it is not said what drugs he used, it is no matter, for how shall we be informed whether he has shewn them. In an action against a surgeon for an inartificial cure the plaintiff does not shew what plaisters the defendant used. As to what hath been said that the plea does not shew for what malady the medicines were given; it was answered that it would be so much the worse if the medicines were given when the party had not any malady at all. And although it is not said that the witnesses upon whose testimony the fine was imposed were upon oath, yet the plea is sufficient; for it may be that it was not necessary that they should be sworn or if it were needful the omission of it is not such as will make their proceedings void. In such a special jurisdiction in which the proceeding is to be in a summary manner it is not needful to observe all the circumstances which are necessary in other legal proceedings.—Judgment for the defendants.
