To-day the Court held that there was no evidence to go to the jury that applicant (Goddon) by any misconduct on his part obtained the' warrant for Buttrey's address, and therefore the ease should not have been left to the jury, as there was no material to be submitted to them upon which thev could find a verdict for respondent.
