    Reuben vs. The State of Georgia.
    A man went to a house where two women lived alone, and demanded his supper ; some remark was made about the rude way in which he asked for it, and the women ran off in different directions; he followed one of them in the darkness, threw her down and pulled up her clothes ; she resisted, scratching his face very badly, so that he desisted:
    Held, that on a trial for an assault with intent to rape, the facts supported a verdict of guilty.
