1 N.C. 218

Taylor v. Tolwin

Decided July 1, 1793

THE plaintiff brought his action for the following words: will you cast away your daughter on Taylor? to which the father of the girl replied why? and the defendant added: It is as true as any thing that he ravished Frank's wife, innuendo &c. And you had better follow your daughter to the gallows, than bestow her on him.
