Adams, J.

i. criminal bastardy. If the complainant was accustomed, both before and after the child was conceived, to occupy the same bed with a person who might have been the father of the child, evidence of such fact, we think, was admissible, as tending to affect the credibility of the complainant’s testimony.

In excluding such evidence we think that the District Court erred.

Reversed.
