McCay, Judge.

"Whatever may have been the ancient rule upon this subject, based as it was upon untrue philosophical notions as to certain necessities of- true sexual intercourse, that rule has entirely given way to what is now known to be the truth, that very slight penetration is necessary even for the begetting of a child: R. vs. Hughs, 2 M. C. C., 190; R. vs. Champlin, C. & K., 746. See, also, Rapen’s case, 1 East, P. C., 498.

Judgment affirmed.
