Opinion
The Court (nem. con.) overruled the objection, but refused (Cranch, C. J., doubting,) to require the witness to disclose the names of the women ; because the persons, if named, would have no means of repelling the infamy which it would cast upon them. Mr. Brent, for the defendant, objected, and The Court (nem. con.) sustained the objection. Verdict, not guilty.
