Good faith in swearing out the warrant for plaintiff\u2019s arrest is a sufficient defense to an action for malicious prosecution.\n3. Malicious prosecution, \u00a7 74*\u2014when evidence is insufficient to show caution in swearing out warrant. In an action to recover for malicious prosecution, evidence held to show that, in swearing out a warrant for plaintiff\u2019s arrest, defendant did not act as a reasonably cautious person would have acted in the circumstances.\n4.
