From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

  RAPE, division of a country. In the English law, this is a district similar 
  to that of a hundred; but oftentimes containing in it more hundreds than 
  one. 
  
  

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

  RAPE, crim. law. The carnal knowledge of a woman by a man forcibly and 
  unlawfully against her will. In order to ascertain precisely the nature of 
  this offence, this definition will be analysed. 
       2. Much difficulty has arisen in defining the meaning of carnal 
  knowledge, and different opinions have been entertained some judges having 
  supposed that penetration alone is sufficient, while other's deemed emission 
  as an essential ingredient in the crime. Hawk. b. 1, c. 41, s. 3; 12 Co. 37; 
  1 Hale, P. C. 628; 2 Chit. Cr. L. 810. But in modern times the better 
  opinion seems to be that both penetration and emission are necessary. 1 
  East, P. C. 439; 2 Leach, 854. It is, however, to be remarked, that very 
  slight evidence may be sufficient to induce a jury to believe there was 
  emission. Addis. R. 143; 2 So. Car. C. R. 351; 1 Beck's Med. Jur. 140. 4 
  Chit. Bl. Com. 213, note 8. In Scotland, emission is not requisite. Allis. 
  Prin. 209, 210. See Emission; Penetration. 
       3. By the term man in this definition is meant a male of the human 
  species, of the age of fourteen years and upwards; for an infant, under 
  fourteen years, is supposed by law incapable of committing this offence. 1 
  Hale, P. C. 631; 8 C. & P. 738. But not only can an infant under fourteen 
  years, if of sufficient mischievous discretion, but even a woman may be 
  guilty as principals in the second degree. And the husband of a woman may be 
  a principal in the second degree of a rape committed upon his wife, as where 
  he held her while his servant committed the rape. 1 Harg St. Tr. 388. 
       4. The knowledge of the woman's person must be forcibly and against her 
  
  will; and if her consent has not been voluntarily and freely given, (when 
  she has the power to consent,) the offence will be complete, nor will any 
  subsequent acquiescence on her part do away the guilt of the ravisher. A 
  consent obtained from a woman by actual violence, by duress or threats of 
  murder, or by the administration of stupefying drugs, is not such a consent 
  as will shield the offender, nor turn his crime into adultery or 
  fornication. 
       5. The matrimonial consent of the wife cannot be retracted, and, 
  therefore, her husband cannot be guilty of a rape on her as his act is not 
  unlawful. But, as already observed, he may be guilty as principal in the 
  second degree. 
       6. As a child under ten years of age is incapable in law to give her 
  consent, it follows, that the offence may be committed on such a child 
  whether she consent or not. See Stat. 18 Eliz, c. 7, s. 4. See, as to the 
  possibility of committing a rape, and as to the signs which indicate it, 1
