2. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
RAVISHED, pleadings. In indictments for rape, this technical word must be
introduced, for no other word, nor any circumlocution, will answer the
purpose. The defendant should be charged with having "feloniously ravished"
the prosecutrix, or woman mentioned in the indictment. Bac. Ab. Indictment,
G l; Com. Dig. Indictment, G 6; Hawk. B. 2, c. 25, s. 56; Cro. C. C. 37; 1
Hale, 628: 2 Hale, 184 Co. Litt. 184, n. p.; 2 Inst. 180; 1 East, P. C. 447.
The words "feloniously did ravish and carnally know," imply that the act was
done forcibly and against the will of the woman. 12 S. & R. 70. Vide 3 Chit.
Cr. Law, 812.
