Trespass
Trespass [fr. transgressio, Lat.], any transgression of the law, less than treason, felony, or misprision of either.An unlawful act committed against the person or property of another esp. wrongful entry on another's real property, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn.The action of trespass lies where a trespass has been committed either to the plaintiff's person or property. A trespass is an injury committed with violence, and this violence may be either actual or implied; and the law will imply violence, though none is actually used, where the injury is of a direct and immediate kind, and committed on the person or tangible and corporeal property of the plaintiff. Of actual violence an assault and battery is an instance; of implied, a peaceable but wrongful enter upon the plaintiff's lands, Steph. Plead., 7th Edn., 11, 37, 154. As to trespass on the case, see CASE and VI ET ARMIS.Trespass, as an unlawful act committed against a person and property of another, Black's Law Dictionary (7th E...
