10. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
RAPE, division of a country. In the English law, this is a district similar
to that of a hundred; but oftentimes containing in it more hundreds than
one.
|
11. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
RAPE, crim. law. The carnal knowledge of a woman by a man forcibly and
unlawfully against her will. In order to ascertain precisely the nature of
this offence, this definition will be analysed.
2. Much difficulty has arisen in defining the meaning of carnal
knowledge, and different opinions have been entertained some judges having
supposed that penetration alone is sufficient, while other's deemed emission
as an essential ingredient in the crime. Hawk. b. 1, c. 41, s. 3; 12 Co. 37;
1 Hale, P. C. 628; 2 Chit. Cr. L. 810. But in modern times the better
opinion seems to be that both penetration and emission are necessary. 1
East, P. C. 439; 2 Leach, 854. It is, however, to be remarked, that very
slight evidence may be sufficient to induce a jury to believe there was
emission. Addis. R. 143; 2 So. Car. C. R. 351; 1 Beck's Med. Jur. 140. 4
Chit. Bl. Com. 213, note 8. In Scotland, emission is not requisite. Allis.
Prin. 209, 210. See Emission; Penetration.
3. By the term man in this definition is meant a male of the human
species, of the age of fourteen years and upwards; for an infant, under
fourteen years, is supposed by law incapable of committing this offence. 1
Hale, P. C. 631; 8 C. & P. 738. But not only can an infant under fourteen
years, if of sufficient mischievous discretion, but even a woman may be
guilty as principals in the second degree. And the husband of a woman may be
a principal in the second degree of a rape committed upon his wife, as where
he held her while his servant committed the rape. 1 Harg St. Tr. 388.
4. The knowledge of the woman's person must be forcibly and against her
will; and if her consent has not been voluntarily and freely given, (when
she has the power to consent,) the offence will be complete, nor will any
subsequent acquiescence on her part do away the guilt of the ravisher. A
consent obtained from a woman by actual violence, by duress or threats of
murder, or by the administration of stupefying drugs, is not such a consent
as will shield the offender, nor turn his crime into adultery or
fornication.
5. The matrimonial consent of the wife cannot be retracted, and,
therefore, her husband cannot be guilty of a rape on her as his act is not
unlawful. But, as already observed, he may be guilty as principal in the
second degree.
6. As a child under ten years of age is incapable in law to give her
consent, it follows, that the offence may be committed on such a child
whether she consent or not. See Stat. 18 Eliz, c. 7, s. 4. See, as to the
possibility of committing a rape, and as to the signs which indicate it, 1
Beck's Med. Jur. ch. 12; Merlin, Rep. mot Viol.; 1 Briand, Med. Leg. 1ere
partic, c. 1, p. 66; Biessy, Manuel Medico-Legal, &c. p. 149; Parent
Duchatellet, De la Prostitution dans la ville de Paris, c. 3, Sec. 5 Barr.
on the Stat. 123; 9 Car. & P. 752 2 Pick. 380; 12 S. & R. 69; 7 Conn. 54
Const. R. 354; 2 Vir. Cas. 235.
