the defendant the Itst six wombs,. and had frequently accompaa

frequent attempts to seduce her, and heuecomplished his object

about ten minutes, and was preparing to come out, Mr. Pityne
suddenly again altered his mind, undressed, and juniped ht. At
this time they Were a'short distance from each other. Neither_
of them being aware they were on the edge of a place that con-
