327 CONSENT IN THE CRIMINAL LAW. 32/ of crime which is inconsistent with consent of the injured party, such consent is of course a perfect disproof of the crime; but in cases of actual personal injury, whether homicide, mayhem, or battery, consent of the injured party is no excuse to the wrong- doer if the act consented to tends to a breach of the peace or to severe bodily harm, or to a loss of chastity which is not consented to. % H. Beale, Jr.
