4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
VIOLENCE. The abuse of force. Theorie des Lois Criminelles, 32. That force
which is employed against common right, against the laws, and against public
liberty. Merl. h. t, 2. In cases of robbery, in order to convict the
accused, it is requisite to prove that the act was done with violence; but
this violence is not confined to an actual assault of the person, by
beating, knocking down, or forcibly wresting from him on the contrary,
whatever goes to intimidate or overawe, by the apprehension of personal
violence, or by fear of life, with a view to compel the delivery of property
equally falls within its limits. Alison, Pr. Cr. Law of Scotl. 228; 4 Binn.
R. 379; 2 Russ. on Cr. 61; 1 Hale P. C. 553. When an article is merely
snatched, as by a sudden pull, even though a momentary force be exerted, it
is not such violence as to constitute a robbery. 2 East, P. C. 702; 2 Russ.
Cr. 68; Dig. 4, 2, 2 and 3.
