Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Illegitimate Child — Amount Allowed for Its Maintenance within Judicial Discretion. The amount of payment to be required in a bastardy proceeding is such as to the trial court may seem just, after considering all the facts and circumstances, for securing the maintenance and education of the child. Held, that the order in this ease does not appear to have been an abuse of discretion.</p> <p>2. Same — Defendant Not Entitled to Jury Trial. In a proceeding of this kind, the defendant is not entitled to a jury trial as a matter of right, and its denial was not error.</p>
