which criminal intent can be in
ferred, as opposed to Il mere i'm
tention in the mind to commit a
crime (see ihtent. The term is
more particularly employed in
cases of treason which must be
demonstrated by some overt act
or open act. :"
Intent" is thus defined in
the same work.
Intent, in law, the purpose or
object with which an act is done.
The question of intent is imp0r-
tant with reference both to civil
a N d criminal responsibility.
Briefly. it may be said that in
criminal law the constituent cle-
ment OF an offense is the mems
rea or the guilty intent. The
commission of an act without
the intent is not, as a general
rule, sufficient to constitute a
crime, nor, on tlle other hand,
does the existance of "a guilty in
tent without commission of the
act omount to the legal conccp
tiOE vi "a crime.
Now you have the whole thing
in nutshell, and you will do
we'll to save these definitions to
avoid further endless discussions
as to what the words mean. But
we do not guarantee that you
will not have to discuss pretty
fervidly when it comes to apply
ing them.
