THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

AND

PARISH OFFICER.

The duties of a Justice of the Peace, ministerial or judicial, are sufficiently defined by law. The offences for which he may commit or convict the offender, and the other cases in which he may or must act, shall be here treated of, under the following heads:

ABDUCTION.

"Where any

Forcible abduction from motives of lucre.] woman shall have any interest, whether legal or equitable, present or future, absolute, conditional, or contingent, in any real or personal estate, or shall be an heiress presumptive or next of kin to any one having such interest, if any person shall, from motives of lucre, take away or detain such woman against her will, with intent to marry or defile her, or to cause her to be married or defiled by any other person: every such offender, and every other person counselling, aiding or abetting such offender, shall be guilty of felony:" transportation for life or for not less than seven years, or imprisonment with or without hard labour for not more than four years. 9 G. 4, c. 31, s. 19.

at

Commitment:-For that he the said A. B., on feloniously did, from motives of lucre, take away and detain one C. D., against her will, she the said C. D., being then [a woman having an interest in certain real "or" personal property, “or” the heiress presumptive to a person having an interest in certain real property, "or" the next of kin to a person having an interest in certain personal property], with intent her the said C. D., [to marry "or" defile, "or" to cause to be married to b

VOL. I.

or'

defiled by some other person unknown] against the form of the statute in such case made and provided. And you the said keeper, &c.

Abduction of a girl under sixteen years of age.] Unlawfully taking, or causing to be taken any unmarried girl, being under the age of sixteen years, out of the possession and against the will of her father or mother, or of any other person having the lawful care or charge of her :" misdemeanor; fine or imprisonment, or both. 9 G. 4, c. 31, s. 20. And where the consent of the parents was obtained by misrepresentation and fraud, the party having at the time an intent to debauch the girl, Gurney, B. held it to be a case within the act. R. v. Hopkins, 1 Car. & M. 254. In one case, Parke, B. ruled that a mere decoying or enticing a girl to go away voluntarily, though by fraudulent pretences, would not amount to the offence contemplated by the statute. R. v. Meadows, 1 Car. & K. 399. But in a subsequent case, where it appeared that the girl actually proposed to the man to elope with him, and he, in pursuance of it, went to her father's house at night, placed a ladder against a window, and held it whilst she descended, and both of them then eloped: Atcherley, Serj. held this to be a case within this section; and Tindal, C. J., to whom he afterwards mentioned it, was of the same opinion. R. v. Robins, 1 Car. & K. 456. The statute 3 H. 7, c. 2, and 4 & 5 Ph. & M. c. 8, upon the subject of abduction, have been repealed by 9 G. 4, c. 31, s. 1.

at

Commitment:-For that he the said A. B. on — unlawfully did take one C. D. out of the possession and against the will of one J. D. her father [or as the case may be,] she the said C. D. then and there being an unmarried girl, under the age of sixteen years, to wit, of the age of years: against the form of the statute in such case made and provided. you the said keeper, &c.

And

ABORTION.

"Whosoever, with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman, shall unlawfully administer to her, or cause to be taken by her, any poison or other noxious thing; or shall unlawfully use any instrument or other means whatsoever, with the like intent:" felony, transportation for life, or for not less than fifteen years, or imprisonment [with or without hard labour, s. 7,] for not more than three years. 1 Vict. c. 85,
