J.
Plaintiff’s daughter was seduced by
defendant; she did not become pregnant.
HELD:
(1) Because no pregnancy resulted there can be no cause of action for loss of
services.
(2) Damages can be claimed by the parents for injured feelings and
for the dishonors to the daughter and the family caused by the act of the

occurred the damages allowed are not
