Supreme Court of North Carolina January 5, 1876 (State v. Neely)

lead-opinion

RODMAN and BYNUM, JJ., dissenting. It was in evidence that on the 10th July, 1875, the prosecutrix, a woman over ten years of age, and a young girl were returning home, along the track of the North Carolina Railroad, a few miles from Concord. When they reached a point on the railroad at which a country road crossed the same, the prosecutrix and the girl separated.
