Wallace v. Clark
Tennessee Supreme Court · Decided March 15, 1807
2 Tenn. 93

Wallace v. Clark

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

It is immaterial where the act of seduction happened.

This young woman was frequently assisting in her father’s family, and whether she was sometimes at her sisters or nor does not relate to the merits of the question.

Slight evidence of her assisting in the family is sufficient. Her father had the trouble and expence or her lying in, for which he ought to be remunerated vide 1 Esp. Rep. 217.
