8 Sadler 100; 5 A. 621

Stoke v. Miller

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

The words averred in the declaration and proved on the trial are clearly actionable. Spoken of a single woman, they im*105pliedly charge her with degredation of character, and justified the jury in finding that the intent was to impute to her an act of fornication, which is an indictable offense under the laws of this commonwealth.

Judgment affirmed.
