PurgationThe clearing one's self of an offence charged, by denying the guilt on oath or affirmation.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Offence
Crimes. The doing that which a penal law forbids to be done, or omitting to do what it commands; in this sense it is nearly synonymous with crime. In a more confined sense, it may be considered as having the same meaning with misdemeanor, but it differs from it in this, that it is not indictable, but punishable summarily by the forfeiture of a penalty.
Guilt
Criminal law. That quality which renders criminal and liable to punishment; or it is that disposition to violate the law, which has manifested itself by some act already done. The opposite of innocence.
Oath
A declaration made according to law, before a competent tribunal or officer, to tell the truth; or it is the act of one who, when lawfully required to tell the truth, takes God to witness that what he says is true. It is a religious act by which the party invokes God not only to witness the truth and sincerity of his promise, but also to avenge his imposture or violated faith, or in other words to punish his perjury if he shall be guilty of it.
Affirmation
A solemn and formal declaration that an affidavit is true. This is substituted for an oath in certain cases.
