Headnotes / Summary
Penal Code (XLV of 1860), Ss. (161)116-Bribe-giver -Mens rea of--Material test in determining his guilt. When section 116 of the Code has to be considered in relation to section 161 what has to be seen is the mind of the person who offers the bribe. That is the material test. It is the "mena rea" of the man who offers the bribe that is material rather than the `mens" of the person who takes the bribe. [Case-law discussed.]
