immorality. that which is contra bonos mores. in england, it is not 
punishable in some cases, at the common law, on, account of the 
ecclesiastical jurisdictions: e. g. adultery. but except in cases belonging 
to the ecclesiastical courts, the court of king's bench is the custom morum, 
and may punish delicto contra bonos mores. 3 burr. rep. 1438; 1 bl. rep. 94; 
2 strange, 788. in pennsylvania, and most, if not all the united states, all 
such cases come under one and the same jurisdiction. 
     2. immoral contracts are generally void; an agreement in consideration 
of future illicit cohabitation between the parties; 3 burr. 1568; s. c. 1

     3. it is a general rule, that whenever an agreement appears to be 
illegal, immoral, or against public policy, a court of justice leaves the 
parties where it finds them; when the agreement has been executed, the court 
will not rescind it; when executory, the count will not help the execution.
