Conversation
(gcide) | Conversation \Con`ver*sa"tion\, n. [OE. conversacio (in senses 1
& 2), OF. conversacion, F. conversation, fr. L. conversatio
frequent abode in a place, intercourse, LL. also, manner of
life.]
1. General course of conduct; behavior. [Archaic]
[1913 Webster]
Let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel.
--Philip. i.
27.
[1913 Webster]
2. Familiar intercourse; intimate fellowship or association;
close acquaintance. "Conversation with the best company."
--Dryden.
[1913 Webster]
I set down, out of long experience in business and
much conversation in books, what I thought pertinent
to this business. --Bacon.
[1913 Webster]
3. Commerce; intercourse; traffic. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
All traffic and mutual conversation. --Hakluyt.
[1913 Webster]
4. Colloquial discourse; oral interchange of sentiments and
observations; informal dialogue.
[1913 Webster]

conversation was altogether without a parallel.
--Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]
5. Sexual intercourse; as, criminal conversation.
Syn: Intercourse; communion; commerce; familiarity;
discourse; dialogue; colloquy; talk; chat.
Usage: Conversation, Talk. There is a looser sense of
these words, in which they are synonymous; there is a
stricter sense, in which they differ. Talk is usually
broken, familiar, and versatile. Conversation is more
continuous and sustained, and turns ordinarily upon
topics or higher interest. Children talk to their
parents or to their companions; men converse together
in mixed assemblies. Dr. Johnson once remarked, of an
evening spent in society, that there had been a great
deal of talk, but no conversation.

CRIMINAL CONVERSATION
(bouvier) | CRIMINAL CONVERSATION, crim. law. This phrase is usually employed to denote
the crime of adultery. It is abbreviated crim. con. Bac. Ab. Marriage, E 2;
4 Blackf. R. 157.
2. The remedy for criminal conversation is, by an action on the case
for damages. That the plaintiff connived, or assented to, his wife's
infidelity, or that he prostituted her for gain, is a complete answer to the
action. See Connivance. But the facts that the wife's character for chastity
was bad before the plaintiff married her; that he lived with her after he
knew of the criminal intimacy with the defendant; that he had connived at
her intimacy with other men;, or that the plaintiff had been false to his
wife, only go in mitigation of damages. 4 N. Hamp. R. 501.
3. The wife cannot maintain an action for criminal conversation with
her husband; and for this, among other reasons, because her husband, who is
particeps criminis, must be joined with her as plaintiff.
