Quito IN interesting, question nrogo m II this
court in connection with The case Of The People,
at tho relation Of Eliza Niles, ys. andrew Cur
vidcs in Buoh casos that The faus Of tho bastardy
ehall DO triod by jury, aud n caso the issue ia
found for the complaining witness, the Court Is
authorized to fix tie Judgment upon the respond
tho benefit Of tho'ohild. but not to exceed 9100
for tho frat year mud $50 ror yoar for several
yoars ensuing, thrco payments to DO nado quar-
terly.
counsel for respondent, proposed to waiyo n
Jury, and admit the bastardy, but claimed
that in this caso no Judgment should

its proceedings, still it had boon decided by tho
Supreme Court that this was essentially Il civil
aotiou. This boing so, lko all civil actions, it
could bo compromised or settled as the partios
should SOC 1T. Tint in this case ho would show
tho Court, by muny Witnesses, that since tho
birth Of tho child large payments, amounting to
support and maintenance Of complaining Wit
noas, her mother, and tho child. That in fact
more had been paid tlsan the Inv would compel
respondent to pay. That theBe payments Ind
beou made bY respouilent on tho implied
agreement that no proceedings Should
ho llad arafnst him. That tl1csa r,ny-
nlenta were SOLICITED By complaining witness aud
accepted OIL the implied agreemcnt that 1t was d
thls made what in othor civil suits was called IN
acoord OF satisfaction. and was o full dofenao to
tho suit.
Tho Court ntated that ho regarded this not ns
Il civil suit, and not as ono that could be COM
| pounded O, Settled by complaining witneas, oven
II sho 40 desired. Tho State had all interest In
holding respondent to support tho child, other
wise It might hare to talo charge Of it as q
pauper. Even if tho largest sums Of money had
beon paid By respondent to appoaso complaining
Witness, still respondent would DO holden for
payment on account Of tile child, on complaint
made by tho mother, md any Bnol payments
,madc to hcr would bo at his rial. However,,
| bio Thought that such payments ag
Ind been mado during tho past yoar
should properly apply on the $l0D,
which tho Court was authorized to impose for
the first year nftcr tho birth Of tho child. The
respondent had g cloud OF witnesses to prove
