Assault

Any action which puts another in instant fear of an unlawful force; if the force is actually applied, it is battery. It is both a civil wrong, or tort, and a crime, and subjects the wrongdoer to an action by the one wronged for damages, and to criminal prosecution. Consent to a battery which amounts to a breach of the peace, or is unwarrantably dangerous, is not a bar to a civil or a criminal action. One wrongfully a aulted is entitled to use such force as is nece ary to for drawing air through any ve el. One of its forms consists of a cylindrical metal ve el with conical ends, having an opening at the top to which a rubber tube may be attached, and at the bottom a tap. If the ve el be filled with watergr. with eagles, with smaller coins; in ma $5,000 του oz.: and the tap be opened, the liquid will run out, thus drawing in air through the tube at the top. An aspirator of this sort is used in connection with different forms of hygrometers. As pro monte. Moun tain in s. w.
