Lunt v. Philbrick

Doe, C. J. General damages are such as may be presumed to result necessarily from the wrong complained of. The plaintiff’s suffering from wounded feelings, including a sense of personal and family disgrace, being inferred as a natural and necessary consequence of the seduction of his daughter, a special averment of such damage is unnecessary. Judgment on the verdict. Foster, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
