Price, 4 Burr. 1925, on a motion for an information against a justice of the peace for a misdemeanor in oppressively committing some poor inhabitants of the parish of C. for felony in gleaning in a field belonging to a farmer of that place, (which they insisted they had a right to do by law, and by the usage and custom of that parish); oath was made by the farmer before the justice, that these people had stolen his barley in the straw, and he now swore that he had forbidden them, and yet they took it by handfulls, and that he had suffered the loss of about twenty bushels of barley by their carrying it off two days together. Per curiam—“We are of opinion, that the justice, in this case, so far from acting with any design of oppression or malice, or any bad intention, has behaved with lenity, and it would be very wrong to punish a justice by the extraordinary method of an information, when he has acted fairly and impartially; therefore, we discharge the rule with costs, as stealing under the colour of leasing or gleaning is not to be justified—there was no contest between the farmer and the poor about leasing; his only objection and his forbidding is confined to the stealing of it. As to the right of gleaning, it will be time enough to determine that point when it comes directly in question; but here the farmer had not abandoned his corn, and he has sworn that they stole it."
