Lat. [from con, together, and sentire, to think.] To consent; to think with another; to have, or be of the same mind; to agree to, or with.* lT«a e«B«entlt %u% errat. He who errs does not consent. Bract, fol.

44.

Consent given under the influence of error is not valid.* If consent be obtained by meditated imposition, circumvention, surprise or undue influence, it is to be treated as a delusion, and not as a deliberate and free act ox the mind.
