BEWARE OF MAN-TnAPs The Supreme
Court of Connecticut has decided that a
correspondence in writing between mar
riogeaele female and IN unmarried man, is
prcsumptive evidence Of an engagement -
The Judge says:
"'fhat an engagement exists, or an offer
has been made and accepted, where cor
rcspondence takes place between such par
ties, as described in this case, is, we think,
in accordance with general experience,
which is one Of the usual and m,st satisiac-
tory tests Of human evidence; and although,
when taken alone and disconnected from
other facts, It may not be so strong as some
evidence that might be suggested, yet we
hold it competent to be submitted to a jury,
and from which they may find promise to
marry, il the evidence satisfies them OF the
fact"
Bachelors and cousins should beware Of
committing themselves.
