A criminal libel for theft having been brought before the Court of Justiciary, wherein there was also a conclusion of damages, and the Judges having found the same relevant to infer the pains of law, and after the facts were found proved by the jury, having pronounced a sentence condemnator, but without pronouncing any sentence upon the damages; the Lords of Session found this not to be a res judicata to bar a civil action for damages upon the same fact. See Appendix.
