¶1The evidence introduced before the jury on the trial of this case in the justice’s court demanded a finding that the board and lodging for the price of which the plaintiff sued were furnished by her to the defendant for the purpose of maintaining the latter in leading a life of prostitution. This being so, the defense that the plaintiff’s demand was based upon a contract the consideration of which was illegal and immoral was well founded, and a verdict for the plaintiff having nevertheless been returned, the superior court erred in not sustaining the defendant’s certiorari.
¶2Judgment reversed.
