treble damages; and these statutes have been liberally construed to mean
actually treble damages; for example, if the jury give twenty dollars
damages for a forcible entry the court will award forty dollars more, so as
to make the total amount of damages sixty dollars. 4 B. & C. 154; McClell.
Rep. 567.
2. The construction on the words treble damages, is different from that
