The defendant in this case admitted several acts of intercourse, but testified that these acts began on the 15th day of May, which was several weeks later than the time testified to by th e. woman. The evidence was in conflict, and was a question for the jury.

There are no exceptions of merit to be found in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
