The party distraining not to be a trespasser in consequence of irregularity, &c.

170. When any distress shall be made for any sum or sums of money to be levied by virtue of this Act, the distress itself shall not be deemed unlawful, nor the party or parties making the same be deemed a trespasser or trespassers, on account of any default or want of form in any proceedings relating thereto; nor shall the party or parties distraining be deemed a trespasser or trespassers ab initio on account of any subsequent irregularity on the part of the party or parties distraining, but the person or persons aggrieved by such irregularity may recover full satisfaction for the special damages in any action on the case.
