Roache, J.

Case by Ewell against Sherry for debauching his daughter, whereby he was deprived ‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‍of her services. Damages 1,000 dollars. Sherry pleaded the general issue. Trial by jury, and verdict for 350 dollars.

Upon the ‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‍coming in of the verdict the defendant below moved in arrest of judgment, and for a new trial. No ‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‍grounds for the arrest are pointed out, and we perceive none in the record, and that motion was ‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‍correctly overruled.

After the motion in arrest, the motion for a new tidal came too late. Rogers v. Maxwell, ante, p. 243.

Per Curiam.

The ‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‍judgment is affirmed, with 10 per cent, damages and costs.
