Hollis v. State

Opinion of the Court

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.
