Opinion of the Court
Per Curiam.

Per Curiam.

The plaintiff in error was convicted of an assault with intent to rape a female over the age of ten years and sentenced to a term of twenty years in the State’s prison.

The State wholly failed to make out a case of non-consent, and the evidence is unsatisfactory in other respects.

The judgment is reversed.

All concur.
