•1896, ante, 67 Conn., 339. '1897, Simsbury v. East Granby et al., 69 Qonn., 302. 317] PERIOD OF SPECIAL LEGISLATION 317 " next of kin " and their children may inherit through them lineally and collaterally.^ A civil suit was brought for damages for two assaults, as a result of which the plaintiff had a bastard child which subsequently died. The suit was not brought under the bastardy law. The rule of the presumption of innocence does not hold in such an action. There is a natural infer- ence o...f innocence, because in general men obey the law, but the judge need not call the jury's attention to this. Unless it is proved by preponderating evidence that the defendant was present at the time and place alleged, his alibi is a perfectly good defense. If wilful and malicious misconduct is proved, it is a clear case for exemplary and vindictive damages.^ In a case charging the defendant with felonious assault upon the body of L., when a miscarriage was not neces- sary to preserve life, the court held that the testimony of the woman need not be regarded as untrustworthy because she was an accomplice.
