DOLUS, civil law. A fraudulent address or trick used to deceive some one; a 
fraud. Dig. 4, 3, 1; Code, 2, 21. 
     2. Dolus differs from fault in this, that the latter proceeds from an 
error of the understanding; while to constitute the former there must be a 
will or intention to do wrong. Wolff, Inst. Sec. 17.
