Opinion

By the Court.

There is nothing erroneous in the judgment complained of; in such settlements the parties always run a risk; had the children been still-born, the money could not have been recovered back; and as the terms of the discharge are comprehensive enough to take in everybody she-should accuse, and especially the father; and she having charged the defendant with being the father, he hath right to take benefit of it, and she cannot say the discharge shall not extend to him.
