Malic
(gcide) | Malic \Ma"lic\, a. [L. malum an apple: cf. F. malique.] (Chem.)
Pertaining to, or obtained from, apples; as, malic acid.
[1913 Webster]
Malic acid, (Chem.) a hydroxy acid
(HO.CO.CH2.CH(OH).CO.OH) obtained from unripe fruit
(such as green apples, currants, tomatoes or cherries) as
a substance which is sirupy or crystallized with
difficulty, and has a strong but pleasant sour taste. It
is levorotatory or dextrorotatory according to the
temperature and concentration; the natural form is of L-
conformation. A synthetic variety is a derivative of
succinic acid, but as with most simple synthetic
compounds, is a racemic mixture of isomers and thus has no
rotatory action on polarized light.

malice
(gcide) | malice \mal"ice\ (m[a^]l"[i^]s), n. [F. malice, fr. L. malitia,
from malus bad, ill, evil, prob. orig., dirty, black; cf. Gr.
me`las black, Skr. mala dirt. Cf. Mauger.]
1. Enmity of heart; malevolence; ill will; a spirit
delighting in harm or misfortune to another; a disposition
to injure another; a malignant design of evil. "Nor set
down aught in malice." --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
Envy, hatred, and malice are three distinct passions
of the mind. --Ld. Holt.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Law) Any wicked or mischievous intention of the mind; a
depraved inclination to mischief; an intention to vex,
annoy, or injure another person, or to do a wrongful act
without just cause or cause or excuse; a wanton disregard
of the rights or safety of others; willfulness.
[1913 Webster]
Malice aforethought or Malice prepense, malice previously
and deliberately entertained.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Spite; ill will; malevolence; grudge; pique; bitterness;
animosity; malignity; maliciousness; rancor; virulence.
Usage: See Spite. -- Malevolence, Malignity,
Malignancy. Malice is a stronger word than
malevolence, which may imply only a desire that evil
may befall another, while malice desires, and perhaps
intends, to bring it about. Malignity is intense and
deepseated malice. It implies a natural delight in
hating and wronging others. One who is malignant must
be both malevolent and malicious; but a man may be
malicious without being malignant.
[1913 Webster]
Proud tyrants who maliciously destroy
And ride o'er ruins with malignant joy.
--Somerville.
[1913 Webster]
in some connections, malignity seems rather more
pertinently applied to a radical depravity of
nature, and malignancy to indications of this
depravity, in temper and conduct in particular
instances. --Cogan.
[1913 Webster]Malice \Mal"ice\, v. t.
To regard with extreme ill will. [Obs.]

MALICE
(bouvier) | MALICE, torts. The doing any act injurious to another without a just cause.
2. This term, as applied to torts, does not necessarily mean that which
must proceed from a spiteful, malignant, or revengeful disposition, but a
conduct injurious to another, though proceeding from an ill-regulated mind
not sufficiently cautious before it occasions an injury to another. 11 S. &
R. 39, 40.
3. Indeed in some cases it seems not to require any intention in order
to make an act malicious. When a slander has been published, therefore, the
proper question for the jury is, not whether the intention of the
publication was to injure the plaintiff, but whether the tendency of the
matter published, was so injurious. 10 B. & C. 472: S. C. 21 E. C. L. R.
117.
4. Again, take the common case of an offensive trade, the melting of
tallow for instance; such trade is not itself unlawful, but if carried on to
the annoyance of the neighboring dwellings, it becomes unlawful with respect
to them, and their inhabitants may maintain an action, and may charge the
act of the defendant to be malicious. 3 B. & C. 584; S. C. 10 E. C. L. R.
179.
MALICE, crim. law. A wicked intention to do an injury. 4 Mason, R. 115, 505:
1 Gall. R. 524. It is not confined to the intention of doing an injury to
any particular person, but extends to an evil design, a corrupt and wicked
notion against some one at the time of committing the crime; as, if A
intended to poison B, conceals a quantity of poison in an apple and puts it
in the way of B, and C, against whom he had no ill will, and who, on the
contrary, was his friend, happened to eat it, and die, A will be guilty of
murdering C with malice aforethought. Bac. Max. Reg. 15; 2 Chit. Cr. Law,
727; 3 Chit. Cr. Law,. 1104.
2. Malice is express or implied. It is express, when the party evinces
an intention to commit the crime, as to kill a man; for example, modern
duelling. 3 Bulst. 171. It is implied, when an officer of justice is killed
in the discharge of his duty, or when death occurs in the prosecution of
some unlawful design.
3. It is a general rule that when a man commits an act, unaccompanied
by any circumstance justifying its commission, the law presumes he has acted
advisedly and with an intent to produce the consequences which have ensued.
3 M. & S. 15; Foster, 255; 1 Hale, P. C. 455; 1 East, P. C. 223 to 232, and
340; Russ. & Ry. 207; 1 Moody, C. C. 263; 4 Bl. Com. 198; 15 Vin. Ab. 506;
Yelv. 105 a; Bac. Ab. Murder and Homicide, C 2. Malice aforethought is
deliberate premeditation. Vide Aforethought.
|
MALICE AFORETHOUGHT
(bouvier) | MALICE AFORETHOUGHT, pleadings. In an indictment for murder, these words,
which have a technical force, must be used in charging the offence; for
without them, and the artificial phrase murder, the indictment will be taken
to charge manslaughter only. Fost. 424; Yelv. 205; 1 Chit. Cr. Law, *242,
and the authorities and cases there cited.
2. Whenever malice aforethought is necessary to constitute the offence,
these words must be used in charging the crime in the indictment. 2 Chit.
Cr. Law, *787; 1 East, Pl. Or. 402. 2 Mason, R. 91.
|
MALICIOUS
(bouvier) | MALICIOUS. With bad, and unlawful motives; wicked.
|
MALICIOUS ABANDONMEN
(bouvier) | MALICIOUS ABANDONMENT. The forsaking without a just cause a husband by the
wife, or a wife by her husband. Vide Abandonment, Malicious.
|
MALICIOUS MISCHIE
(bouvier) | MALICIOUS MISCHIEF. This expression is applied to the wanton or reckless
destruction of property, and the willful perpetration of injury to the
person. Alis. Prin. 448; 3 Dev. & Batt. 130; 8 Leigh, 719; 5 Ired. R. 364; 8
Port. 447; 2 Metc. 21; 3 Greenl. 177.
|
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION
(bouvier) | MALICIOUS PROSECUTION, or MALICIOUS ARREST, torts, or remedies. These terms
import a wanton prosecution or arrest, made by a prosecutor in a criminal
proceeding, or a plaintiff in a civil suit, without probable cause, by a
regular process and proceeding, which the facts did not warrant, as appears
by the result.
2. This definition will be analysed by considering, 1. The nature of
the prosecution or arrest. 2. Who is liable under it. 3. What are malice and
probable cause. 4. The proceedings. 5. The result of the prosecution and
afterwards, 6. The remedy.
3.-Sec. 1. Where the defendant commenced a criminal prosecution
wantonly and in other respects against law, he will be responsible. Addis.
R. 270; 12 Conn. 219. The prosecution of a civil suit, when malicious, is a
good cause of action, even when there has been no arrest. 1 P. C. C. 210; 11
Conn. 582; 1 Wend. 345. But no action lies for commencing a civil action,
though without sufficient cause. 1 Penna. R. 235.
4.-Sec. 2. The action lies against the prosecutor and even against a
mere informer, when the proceedings are malicious. 5 Stew. & Port. 367. But
grand jurors are not liable to an action for a malicious prosecution, for
information given by them to their fellow jurors, on which a prosecution is
founded. Hardin, 556. Such action lies against a plaintiff in a civil action
who maliciously sues out the writ and prosecutes it; 16 Pick. 453; but an
action does not lie against an attorney at law for bringing the action, when
regularly employed. 16 Pick. 478. See 6 Pick. 193.
5.-Sec. 3. There must be malice and want of probable cause. 1 Wend.
140, 345; 7 Cowen, 281; 2 P. A. Browne, Appx. xlii; Cooke, 90; Litt. Sel.
Cas. 106; 4 Litt. 334; 3 Gil. & John. 377; 1 N. & M. 36; 12 Conn. 219; 3
Call. 446; 2 Hall, 315; 3 Mason, 112, 2 N. & M. 54,143. See Malice; Probable
cause.
6.-Sec. 4. The Proceedings under which the original prosecution or
action was held, must have been regular, in the ordinary course of justice,
and before a tribunal having power to ascertain the truth or falsity of the
charge, and to punish the supposed offender, the now plaintiff. 3 Pick. 379,
383. When the proceedings are irregular, the prosecutor is a trespasser. 3
Blackf. 210. See Regular and irregular process.
7.-Sec. 5. The malicious prosecution or action must be ended, and the
plaintiff must show it was groundless, either by his acquittal or by
obtaining a final judgment in his favor in a civil action. 1 Root, R. 553; 1
N. & M. 36; 2 N. & M. 54, 143; 7 Cowen, 715; 2 Dev. & Bat. 492.
8.-Sec. 6. The remedy for a malicious prosecution is an action on the
