3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
OVERT. Open. An overt act in treason is proof of the intention of the
traitor, because it opens his designs; without an overt act treason cannot
be committed. 2 Chit: Cr. Law, 40. An overt act then, is one which manifests
the intention of the traitor, to commit treason. Archb. Cr. Pl. 379 4 Bl.
Com. 79.
2. The mere contemplation or intention to commit a crime; although a
sin in the sight of heaven, is not an act amenable to human laws. The were
speculative wantonness of a licentious imagination, however dangerous, or
even sanguinary in its object, can in no case amount to a crime. But the
moment that any overt act is manifest, the offender becomes amenable to the
laws. Vide Attempt; Conspiracy, and Cro. Car. 577.
