Abstract of the Decision.

Execution, § 295 * —when evidence is insufficient to show that malice was the gist of action. Where the evidence on a petition for release under the Insolvent Debtors’ Act (J. & A. U 6198 et seq.) showed only the fact and the amount of the judgment in the action under which the petitioner was in arrest, and did not show the nature of the claim, evidence or verdict upon which such judgment was based, held that there was no evidence tending to show that malice was the gist of such action, notwithstanding a statement was introduced in evidence, but not identified as a pleading in said action, that the plaintiff therein complained that petitioner had maliciously caused her arrest for disorderly conduct.

Appeal from the County Court of Cook county; the Hon. John H. Williams, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1916.
