Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Lawrence

delivered the opinion of the Court:

This court has decided in Mann v. The People, 35 Ill., and again at the present term in Pease v. Hubbard, 37 Ill. 257, that a prosecution for bastardy is not a criminal proceeding. The instruction, therefore, requiring the defendant to be.proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, was properly refused by the Circuit Court.

Judgment affirmed.
