1Opinion of the Court
By the Court:
This is an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The alleged promise is denied by the answer. The plaintiff was examined as a witness in her own behalf, and testified in substance that the agreement between the parties was, that the plaintiff should then presently surrender her person to the defendant, and that in consideration of such surrender the defendant would afterward marry her. “ He promised me that if I should give up myself to him, that he should marry me.”
“ Q. What did you say to that ? ”
“ A. At first I refused; at last I, of course, gave myself up to him.”
