fect Non cepit ; and if he did not take, he could not be guilty of the de-
taining; beiides, if this Plea lhould not be good, the Statute of Limita-
tions can never be a Bar in Replevins. But refolv'd, that the Plea is til,
becaufe it doth not anfwer to the Detaining ; for perhaps the Colt was not
taken, but jelded in the Pound ; and one may diltrain a Thing lawfully,
and detain it unlawfully, as by putting it into a Caitle, fo that it can-

fo juftify as to Part only. If the Diitrefs be entire, and it is wrong in
Part, 'tis wrong in the whole. The Court doubted what Judgment to
