line, heard by the. governor Of New
Haven colony IN council on May day,
1900. indicates the attitude toward un-
licensed kissing In those times. II ap-
peared that Jacob Murline and Sarah
Tuttle had been caught kissing each
other.
Jacob tried 20 throw the blame on
Sarah. saying he thought she had with
intent let fall her gloves" Sarah de-
MED the intent. Jacob then admitted
that he "tookc her by the hand. and
they both sat down upon a chest, but
whether he kysscd her or she kyssed
him be knows not. for he never thought
OF II since until Mr.. Raymond told him
that he had not layde IL TO heart as he
ought"
The stern governor, after duly lee
turing the guilty parties on the cuormi-
" OF their offense. decreed that the
sentence therefore concerning them is
that they shall pay either Of them Il
