Laughter
(gcide) | Laughter \Laugh"ter\, n. [AS. hleahtor; akin to OHG. hlahtar, G.
gel[aum]chter, Icel. hl[=a]tr, Dan. latter. See Laugh, v.
i. ]
A movement (usually involuntary) of the muscles of the face,
particularly of the lips, with a peculiar expression of the
eyes, indicating merriment, satisfaction, or derision, and
usually attended by a sonorous and interrupted expulsion of
air from the lungs. See Laugh, v. i.
[1913 Webster]
The act of laughter, which is a sweet contraction of
the muscles of the face, and a pleasant agitation of
the vocal organs, is not merely, or totally within the
jurisdiction of ourselves. --Sir T.
Browne.
[1913 Webster]
Archly the maiden smiled, and with eyes overrunning

laughter
(devil) | LAUGHTER, n. An interior convulsion, producing a distortion of the
features and accompanied by inarticulate noises. It is infectious
and, though intermittent, incurable. Liability to attacks of laughter
is one of the characteristics distinguishing man from the animals --
these being not only inaccessible to the provocation of his example,
but impregnable to the microbes having original jurisdiction in
bestowal of the disease. Whether laughter could be imparted to
animals by inoculation from the human patient is a question that has
not been answered by experimentation. Dr. Meir Witchell holds that
the infection character of laughter is due to the instantaneous
fermentation of _sputa_ diffused in a spray. From this peculiarity he
names the disorder _Convulsio spargens_.

MANSLAUGHTER
(bouvier) | MANSLAUGHTER, crim. law. The unlawful killing of another without malice
either express or implied. 4 Bl. Com. 190 1 Hale, P. C. 466. The
distinctions between manslaughter and murder, consists in the following. In
the former, though the act which occasions the death be unlawful, or likely
to be attended with bodily mischief, yet the malice, either express or
implied, which is the very essence of murder, is presumed to be wanting in
manslaughter. 1 East, P. C. 218 Foster, 290.
2. It also differs from murder in this, that there can be no
accessaries before the fact, there having been no time for premeditation. 1
Hale, P. C. 437; 1 Russ. Cr. 485. Manslaughter is voluntary, when it happens
upon a sudden heat; or involuntary, when it takes place in the commission of
some unlawful act.
3. The cases of manslaughter may be classed as follows those which take
place in consequence of, 1. Provocation. 2. Mutual combat. 3. Resistance to
public officers, &c. 4. Killing in the prosecution of an unlawful or wanton
act. 5. Killing in the prosecution of a lawful act, improperly performed, or
performed without lawful authority.
4.-1. The provocation which reduces the killing from murder to
manslaughter is an answer to the presumption of malice which the law raises
in every case of homicide; it is therefore no answer when express malice is
proved. 1 Russ. Cr, 440; Foster, 132; 1 East, P. C. 239; and to be available
the provocation must have been reasonable and recent, for no words or slight
provocation will be sufficient, and if the party, has had time to cool,
malice will be inferred.
5.-2. In cases of mutual combat, it is generally manslaughter only
when one of the parties is killed. When death ensues from duelling the rule
is different, and such killing is murder.
6.-3. The killing of an officer by resistance to him while acting
under lawful authority is murder; but if the officer be acting under a void
or illegal authority, or out of his jurisdiction, the killing is
manslaughter, or excusable homicide, according to the circumstances of the
case. 1 Moody, C. C. 80, 132; 1 Hale, P. C. 458; 1 East, P. C. 314; 2 Stark.
N. P. C. 205; S. C. 3 E. C. L. R. 315.
7.-4. Killing a person while doing an act of mere wantonness, is
manslaughter as, if a person throws down stones in a coal-pit, by which a
man is killed, although the offender was only a trespasser. Lewin, C. C.
179.
8.-5. When death ensues from the performance of a lawful act, it may,
in consequence of the negligence of the offender, amount to manslaughter.
For instance, if the death has been, occasioned by negligent driving. 1
East, P. C. 263; 1 C. & P. 320 S. C. 9 E. C. L. R. 408; 6 C. & P. 629; S. C.
25 E. C. L. R. 569. Again, when death ensues, from the gross negligence of a
medical or surgical practitioner, it is manslaughter. 1 Hale, P. C. 429; 3
C. & P. 632; S. C. 14 E, C. L. R. 495.
