Supreme Judicial Court of Maine July 1, 1874 (Speck v. Judson)

Peters, J.

The only question presented by these facts is, whether the defendant had probable cause for the arrest of the plaintiff for larceny. Of course, that is a question for the court only, where the facts are not disputed; and, where they are in dispute, a question for the court, whether it is proved by such facts as the jury find from the evidence.
