Summary
In Boyce v. People (55 N.Y. 644) the same kind of a conditional promise was proved and held to be sufficient, the court refusing to hold that there was anything in the evidence to justify the claim that the promise was to marry only in case the accused should be satisfied that the prosecutrix was a virgin.
