Syllabus

<p>1. Seduction—proof of seduction. Proof of sexual intercourse between the defendant and the plaintiff’s minor daughter while living with her father, followed by pregnancy, confinement and the birth of a child, is proof enough of seduction to sustain a suit by the father.</p> <p>2. Damages—whether excessive. In an action by a father for the seduction of his minor daughter and getting her with child, $500 damages was held not to be excessive, even though no arts were used to induce the daughter’s consent.</p>
