1. The appellant, a youth 19 years of age, pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him of carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 16. It would appear that the appellant had in fact been living with this girl for some months at the premises occupied by his mother. It would further appear that the mother disapproved of this association and had in fact told the girl's mother what was happening; but the girl's mother apparently was either unwilling or unable to do anything about it.
