Court of Appeals of Maryland December 15, 1850 (Yingling v. Hoppe)

Magruder, J.

delivered the opinion of this court.

This action was brought by the appellant in Carroll county court. It is certainly an action of tresspass vi et armis and brought to recover damages done to the person of the plaintiff. It is to be regarded as an action of assault and battery, or perhaps rather of false imprisonment.
