Fornication and Adultery, from Chattahoochee. Witness. Evidence. (Before ■ Judge Willis.)
Leonidas McLester; Hatcher & Peabody, for plaintiff in error.
Thos. W. Grimes, solicitor general, by J. M. McNeill, for the State..

Opinion:
Blandford, J.
Where, on the trial of an indictment for fornication,, the defendant proposed to prove what the prosecutrix had sworn before a justice of the peace in a trial for bastardy, such testimony could only be admissible for the purpose of impeaching the prosecutrix as a witness, and no foundation therefor having been laid by asking if she had so testified, it was properly rejected.
Judgment affirmed.
