/kənˈsɛnt/

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

  CONSENT. An agreement to something proposed, and differs from assent. (q.v.)
  Wolff, Ins. Nat. part 1, SSSS 27-30; Pard. Dr. Com. part 2, tit. 1, n. 
  1, 38 to 178. Consent supposes, 1. a physical power to act; 2. a moral power 
  of acting; 3. a serious, determined, and free use of these powers. Fonb. Eq. 
  B; 1, c. 2, s. 1; Grot. de Jure Belli et Pacis, lib. 2, c. 11, s. 6. 
       2. Consent is either express or implied. Express, when it is given viva 
  voce, or in writing; implied, when it is manifested by signs, actions, or 
  facts, or by inaction or silence, which raise a presumption that the consent 
  has been given. 
       3. - 1. When a legacy is given with a condition annexed to the bequest, 
  requiring the consent of executors to the marriage of the legatee, and under 
  such consent being given, a mutual attachment has been suffered to grow up, 
  it would be rather late to state terms and conditions on which a marriage 
  between the parties should take place;. 2 Ves. & Beames, 234; Ambl. 264; 2 
  Freem. 201; unless such consent was obtained by deceit or fraud. 1 Eden, 6; 
  1 Phillim. 200; 12 Ves. 19. 
       4. - 2. Such a condition does not apply to a second marriage. 3 Bro. C. 
  C. 145; 3 Ves. 239. 
       5. - 3. If the consent has been substantially given, though not modo et 
  forma, the legatee will be held duly entitled to the legacy. 1 Sim. & Stu. 
  172; 1 Meriv. 187; 2 Atk. 265. 
       6. - 4. When trustees under a marriage settlement are empowered to sell 
  "with the consent of the husband and, wife," a sale made by the trustees 
  without the distinct consent of the wife, cannot be a due execution of their 
  power. 10 Ves. 378. 
       7. - 5. Where a power of sale requires that the sale should be with the 
  consent of certain specified individuals, the fact of such consent having 
  been given, ought to be evinced in the manner pointed out by the creator of 
  the power, or such power will not be considered as properly executed. 10 
  Ves. 308. Vide, generally, 2 Supp. to Ves. jr. 161, 165, 169; Ayliffe's 
  Pand. 117; 1 Rob. Leg.. 345, 539. 
       8. - 6. Courts of equity have established the rule, that when the true 
  owner of property stands by, and knowingly suffers a stranger to sell the 
  same as his own, without objection, this will be such implied consent as to 
  render the sale valid against the true owner. Story on Ag. Sec. 91 Story on 
  Eq. Jur. Sec. 385 to 390. And courts of law, unless restrained by technical 
  formalities, act upon the principles of justice; as, for example, when a man 
  permitted, without objection, the sale of his goods under an execution 
  against another person. 6 Adolph. & El 11. 469 9 Barn. & Cr. 586; 3 Barn. & 
  Adolph. 318, note. 
       9. The consent which is implied in every agreement is excluded, 1. By 
  error in the essentials of the contract; ,is, if Paul, in the city of 
  Philadelphia, buy the horse of Peter, which is in Boston, and promise to pay 
  one hundred dollars for him, the horse at the time of the sale, unknown to 
  either party, being dead. This decision is founded on the rule that he who 
  consents through error does not consent at all; non consentiunt qui errant. 
  Dig. 2, 1, 15; Dig. lib. 1, tit. ult. 1. 116, Sec. 2. 2. Consent is excluded 
  by duress of the party making the agreement. 3. Consent is never given so as 
  to bind the parties, when it is obtained by fraud. 4. It cannot be given by 
  a person who has no understanding, as an idiot, nor by one who, though 
  possessed of understanding, is not in law capable of making a contract, as a 
  feme covert. See Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.
