Per Curiam.

No action lies merely for bringing a suit against a person without sufficient ground. (Savil v. Roberts, 1 Salk. 13. Purton v. Honnor, 1 Bos. Sr Pull. 205.) To sustain a suit for a former prosecution, it must appear to have been without cause, and malicious: and an action for malicious prosecution is not cognisable before a justice.

Judgment reversed.
