The witnesses de- clined tostate what their occupation was; which, if it had been lawfal, a disclosure would have telieved them of the charge, and it was fair to presume that their occupation was offen- sive, and would criminate them by disclosing it Gentlemen ef respectability do not visit such houses often for respectable purposes.
