Putting In Fear

Putting In Fear
"Legal Lexicon":
PUTTING IN FEAR - These words are used in the definition of a robbery from the person; the offence must have been committed by putting in fear the person robbed.
This is the circumstance which distinguishes robbery from all other larcenies. But what force must be used, or what kind of fears excited, are questions very proper for discussion. The goods must be taken against the will of the possessor.
There must either be a putting in fear or actual violence, though both need not be positively shown; for the former will be inferred from the latter, and the latter is sufficiently implied in the former. For example, when a man is suddenly knocked down and robbed while he is senseless, there is no fear,, yet in consequence of the violence, it is presumed.
