Hollis vs. State.
    Fornication and Adultery, from Chattahoochee. Witness. Evidence. (Before ■ Judge Willis.)
    Leonidas McLester; Hatcher & Peabody, for plaintiff in error.
    Thos. W. Grimes, solicitor general, by J. M. McNeill, for the State..
   Blandford, J.

Where, on the trial of an indictment for fornication,, the defendant proposed to prove what the prosecutrix had sworn before a justice of the peace in a trial for bastardy, such testimony could only be admissible for the purpose of impeaching the prosecutrix as a witness, and no foundation therefor having been laid by asking if she had so testified, it was properly rejected.

Judgment affirmed.
