RATIONALIBUS DIVISIS, WRIT⁵ DE.

This writ lies by one, against the other, and the object of it is to fix the boundaries. F . N. B. 300.

RAVISHED, pleadings. In indictments⁷ for rape⁸, this technical word must be introduced, for no other word, nor any circumlocution⁹, will answer the purpose.

B. 2, c. 25, s. 56; Cro. C. C. 37; 1 Hale, 628: 2 Hale, 184 Co. Litt. 184, n. p.; 2 Inst. 180; 1 East, P. C. 447.

RAVISHMENT, crim. law. This word has several meanings. 1. It is an unlawful taking of a woman, or an heir in ward¹². 2. It is sometimes used synonymously with rape.

RAVISHMENT OF WARD, Eng. law. The marriage of an infant ward, without the consent of the guardian¹³, is called a ravishment of ward, and punishable by statute¹⁴. Westminster 2, c. 35.

READING. The act of making known the contents of a writing or of a printed document.

2. In order to enable a party to a contract or a devisor to know what a paper contains it must be read, either by the party himself or by some other person to him. When a person signs or executes a paper, it will be presumed that it has been read to him, but this presumption¹⁵ may be rebutted¹⁶.

3. In the case of a blind testator, if it can be proved that the will was not read to him, it cannot be sustained. 3 Wash. C C. R. 580. Vide 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 2012.
