Thalarctos maritimus) inhabiting the arctic regions. It
sometimes measures nearly nine feet in length and weighs
1,600 pounds. It is partially amphibious, very powerful,
and the most carnivorous of all the bears. The fur is
white, tinged with yellow. Called also White bear. See
Bear.
Polar body, Polar cell, or Polar globule (Biol.), a
minute cell which separates by karyokinesis from the ovum
during its maturation. In the maturation of ordinary ova
two polar bodies are formed, but in parthogenetic ova only
one. The first polar body formed is usually larger than
the second one, and often divides into two after its
separation from the ovum. Each of the polar bodies removes
maternal chromatin from the ovum to make room for the
chromatin of the fertilizing spermatozoon; but their
functions are not fully understood.
Polar circles (Astron. & Geog.), two circles, each at a
distance from a pole of the earth equal to the obliquity
of the ecliptic, or about 23[deg] 28', the northern called
the arctic circle, and the southern the antarctic circle.
Polar clock, a tube, containing a polarizing apparatus,
turning on an axis parallel to that of the earth, and
indicating the hour of the day on an hour circle, by being
turned toward the plane of maximum polarization of the
light of the sky, which is always 90[deg] from the sun.
Polar coordinates. See under 3d Coordinate.
Polar dial, a dial whose plane is parallel to a great
circle passing through the poles of the earth. --Math.
Dict.
Polar distance, the angular distance of any point on a
sphere from one of its poles, particularly of a heavenly
body from the north pole of the heavens.
Polar equation of a line or Polar equation of a surface,
an equation which expresses the relation between the polar
coordinates of every point of the line or surface.
Polar forces (Physics), forces that are developed and act
in pairs, with opposite tendencies or properties in the
two elements, as magnetism, electricity, etc.
Polar hare (Zool.), a large hare of Arctic America ({Lepus
arcticus}), which turns pure white in winter. It is
probably a variety of the common European hare ({Lepus
timidus}).
Polar lights, the aurora borealis or australis.
Polar opposition, or Polaric opposition or {Polar
contrast} or Polaric contrast (Logic), an opposition or
contrast made by the existence of two opposite conceptions
which are the extremes in a species, as white and black in
colors; hence, as great an opposition or contrast as
possible.
Polar projection. See under Projection.
Polar spherical triangle (Spherics), a spherical triangle
whose three angular points are poles of the sides of a
given triangle. See 4th Pole, 2.
Polar whale (Zool.), the right whale, or bowhead. See
Whale.

The Larch Project develops aids for formal specifications.
Each Larch specification has two components: an interface
containing predicates written in the LIL ({Larch Interface
Language}) designed for the target language and a 'trait'
containing assertions about the predicates written in LSL,
the Larch Shared Language common to all.

LARCENY
(bouvier) | LARCENY, crim. law. The wrongful and fraudulent taking and carrying away, by
one person, of the mere personal goods, of another, from any place, with a
felonious intent to convert them to his, the taker's use, and make them his
property, without the consent of the owner. 4 Wash. C. C. R. 700.
2. To constitute larceny, several ingredients are necessary. 1. The
intent of the party must be felonious; he must intend to appropriate the
property of another to his own use; if, therefore, the accused have taken
the goods under a claim of right, however unfounded, he has not committed a
larceny.
3.-2. There must be a taking from the possession, actual or implied,
of the owner; hence if a man should find goods, and appropriate them to his
own use, he is not a thief on this account. Mart. and Yerg. 226; 14 John.
294; Breese, 227.
4.-3. There must be a taking against the will of the owner, and this
may be in some cases, where he appears to consent; for example, if a man
suspects another of an intent to steal his property, and in order to try him
leaves it in his way, and he takes it, he is guilty of larceny. The taking
must be in the county where the criminal is to be tried. 9 C. & P. 29; S. C.
38 E. C. L. R. 23; Ry. & Mod. 349. But when the taking has been in the
county or state, and the thief is caught with the stolen property in another
county than that where the theft was committed, he may be tried in the
county where arrested with the goods, as by construction of law, there is a
fresh taking in every county in which the thief carries the stolen property.
5.-4. There must be an actual carrying away, but the slightest
removal, if the goods are completely in the power of the thief, is
sufficient to snatch a diamond from a lady's ear, which is instantly dropped
among the curls of her hair, is a sufficient asportation or carrying away.
6.-5. The property taken must be personal property; a man cannot
commit larceny of real estate, or of what is so considered in law. A
familiar example will illustrate this; an apple, while hanging on the tree
where it grew, is real estate, having never been separated from the
freehold; it is not larceny, therefore, at common law, to pluck an apple
from the tree, and appropriate it to one's own use, but a mere trespass; if
that same apple, however, had been separated from the tree by the owner or
otherwise, even by accident, as if shaken by the wind, and while lying on
the ground it should be taken with a felonious intent, the taker would
commit a larceny, because then it was personal property. In some states
there are statutory provisions to punish the felonious taking of emblements
or fruits of plants, while the same are hanging by the roots, and there the
felony is complete, although the thing stolen is not, at common law,
strictly personal property. Animals ferae naturae, while in the enjoyment of
their natural liberty, are not the subjects of larceny; as, doves; 9 Pick.
15; Bee. 3 Binn. 546. See Bee; 5 N. H. Rep. 203. At common law, choses in
action are not subjects of larceny. 1 Port. 33.
7. Larceny is divided in some states, into grand and petit larceny this
depends upon the value of the property stolen. Vide 1 Hawk, 141 to 250, ch.
19; 4 Bl. Com. 229 to 250; Com. Dig. Justices, O 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; 2 East's P.
C. 524 to 791; Burn's Justice, Larceny; Williams' Justice, Felony; 3
Chitty's Cr. Law, 917 to 992; and articles Carrying Away; Invito Domino;
Robbery; Taking; Breach, 6.
|
MIXED OR COMPOUND LARCENY
(bouvier) | MIXED OR COMPOUND LARCENY, crim. law. A larceny which has all the properties
of simple larceny, and is accompanied with one or both the aggravations of
violence to the person or taking from the house.
|
SIMPLE LARCEN
(bouvier) | SIMPLE LARCENY. The felonious taking and carrying away the personal goods of
another, unattended by acts of violence; it is distinguished from compound
larceny, which is the stealing from the person or with violence.
