Respublica v. Roberts
2 U.S. 124, 1 L. Ed. 316, 2 Dall. 124, 1791 U.S. LEXIS 176
Opinion
The Court, after consideration, delivered an unanimous opinion, that under the act of Assembly, and the uniform practice of eighty-five years (a practice, which, though it does not make the law, must be strong evidence of what the law is ) the indictment could not be supported on the charge of adultery: But that the judgment for fornication only, must be pronounced against the defendant.
Judgment accordingly.
