Seduction
|
|
SeductionThe offence of a man who abuses the simplicity and confidence of a woman to obtain by false promises what she ought not to grant.
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.
False
Not true; as, false pretences; unjust, unlawful, as, false imprisonment. This his word, is frequently used in composition.
Promises
Evidence. When a defendant has been arrested, he is frequently in duced to make confessions in consequence of promises made to him, that if he will tell the truth, he will be either discharged or favored: in such a case evidence of the confession cannot be received, because being obtained by the flattery of hope, it comes in so questionable a shape, when it is to be considered evidence of guilt, that no credit ought to be given to it. This is the principle, but what amounts to a promise is not so easily defined.
Grant
Conveyancing, concessio. Technically speaking, grants are applicable to the conveyance of incorporeal rights, though in the largest sense, the term comprehends everything that is granted or passed from one to another, and is applied to every species of property. Grant is one of the usual words in a feoffment, and differs but little except in the subject-matter; for the operative words used in grants are dedi et concessi, "have given and granted."
