Gast year. My mother was ale° absent, having guns to

house. My brother was eighteen years old the 4th of Fe-
bruary lag. The defendant came in their 'absence on the
4th of August lest yeaT; it was on a Sunday, aboti.t six
o'clock in the evening, and staved till nine O'clock He
first smoked a pipe of tobacco. My brother was not then
in the house. He attemred against roe, and at the same
time promised marriage. He never talteany thing, but did
refigh usage, and mentioned marriage. He did not then

bear, John Stuttard, came in whilst he was there. Smith
came again at ten o'clock the next morning. My brother
and niece were then absent. At the time be came in I was
washing, and be forced me into a dark passage. I wished
him to be quiet, and desired him to go 'tome, and he again
promised marriage. I told him I was too young, and he
said if I would marry him he should be worth 1111110/. a

me, and stayed two hours in the bouts. He came again
that day at eight o'clock in the evening. He remained at
that time in the house till near eleven o'clock. My father
came home that night about ten O'clock, and saw Smith
there. who told him that he bad come to keep me company.
Smith came again in about two months after. My father
went to bed directly the night he came home. Smith re-
raained about a quarter of an hour after my father went to
bed. He soon atter left the house, when be next came to
the house in two months after, my father and mother were
not at home, having gone to church. In about thirteen
weeks, I found myself in a state of pregnancy. Oa the6th
of November my mother discovered it. The child was
born on the 20th of March. 'I had a bail cough before the
child was born, which prevented it from coining to its full
time. My mother sent for Smith, when I told it t , her.—
When he came; he asked me if the child was his, I said it
was. He then said I must lay it on some one else. My
mother teas then present. • I should think his age is fifty
or mere:
