* Violation *

VIOLATION - An act done unlawfully and with force. In the English stat. of 25 E. III. it is declared to be high treason in any person who shall violate the king's companion; and it is equally high treason in her to suffer willingly such violation. This word has been construed under this statute to mean carnal knowledge.
