COMMON INTENT
(bouvier) | COMMON INTENT, construction. The natural sense given to words.
2. It is a rule that when words are used which will bear a natural
sense and an artificial one, or one to be made out by argument and
inference, the natural sense shall prevail; it. is simply a rule of
construction and not of addition common intent cannot add to a sentence
words which have been omitted. 2 H. Black. 530. In pleading, certainty is
required, but certainty to a common intent is sufficient; that is, what
upon a reasonable construction may be called certain, without recurring to
possible facts. Co. Litt. 203, a; Dougl. 163. See Certainty.

DECLARATION OF INTENTION
(bouvier) | DECLARATION OF INTENTION. The act of an alien, who goes before a court of

to become a citizen of the United States, and to renounce forever all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or
sovereignty, whereof he may at the time be a citizen or subject. Act of
Congress of April 14, 18O2, s. 1.
2. This declaration must, in usual cases, be made at least three years
before his admission. Id. But there are numerous exceptions to this rule.
See Naturalization.
|
INTENTION
(bouvier) | INTENTION. A design, resolve, or determination of the mind.
2. Intention is required in the commission of crimes and injuries, in
making contracts, and wills.
3.-1. Every crime must have necessarily two constituent parts,
namely, an act forbidden by law, and an intention. The act is innocent or
guilty just as there was or was not an intention to commit a crime; for
example, a man embarks on board of a ship, at New York, for the purpose of
going to New Orleans; if he went with an intention to perform a lawful act,
he is perfectly innocent; but if his intention was to levy war against the
United States, he is guilty of an overt act of treason. Cro. Car. 332; Fost.
202, 203; Hale, P. C. 116. The same rule prevails in numerous civil cases;
in actions founded on malicious injuries, for instance, it is necessary to
prove that the act was accompanied, by a wrongful and malicious intention. 2
Stark. Ev. 739.
4. The intention is to be proved, or it is inferred by the law. The
existence of the intention is usually matter of inference; and proof of
external and visible acts and conduct serves to indicate, more or less
forcibly, the particular intention. But, in some cases, the inference of
intention necessarily arises from the facts. Exteriora acta indicant
interiora animi secreta. 8 Co. 146. It is a universal rule, that a man shall
be taken to intend that which he does, or which is the necessary and
immediate consequence of his act; 3 M. & S. 15; Hale, P. C. 229; in cases of
homicide, therefore, malice will generally be inferred by the law. Vide
Malice' and Jacob's Intr. to the Civ. Law, Reg. 70; Dig. 24, 18.
5. But a bare intention to commit a crime, without any overt act
towards its commission, although punishable in foro, conscientiae, is not a
crime or offence for which the party can be indicted; as, for example, an
intention to pass counterfeit bank notes, knowing them to be counterfeit. 1
Car. Law Rep. 517.
6.-2. In order to make a contract, there must, be an intention to
make it a person non compos mentis, who has no contracting mind, cannot,
therefore, enter into any engagement which requires an intention; for to
make a contract the law requires a fair, and serious exercise of the
reasoning faculty. Vide Gift; Occupancy.
7.-3. In wills and testaments, the intention of the testator must be
gathered from the whole instrument; 3 Ves. 105; and a codicil ought to be
taken as a part of the will; 4 Ves. 610; and when such intention is
ascertained, it must prevail, unless it be in opposition to some unbending
rule of law. 6 Cruise's Dig. 295; Rand. on Perp. 121; Cro. Jac. 415. " It is
written," says Swinb. p. 10, " that the will or meaning of the testator is
the queen or empress of the testament; because the will doth rule the
testament, enlarge and restrain it, and in every respect moderate and direct
the same, and is, indeed, the very efficient cause. thereof. The will,
therefore, and meaning of the testator ought, before all things, to be
sought for diligently, and, being found, ought to be observed faithfully." 6
Pet. R. 68. Vide, generally, Bl. Com. Index, h. t.; 2 Stark. Ev. h. t.; A 1.
Pand. 95; Dane's Ab. Index h. t.; Rob. Fr. Conv. 30. As to intention in
changing a residence, see article Inhabitant.
