[7] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
void, contracts, practice. that which has no force or effect. 
     2. contracts, bequests or legal proceedings may be void; these will be 
severally considered. 
     3.-1. the invalidity of a contract may arise from many causes. 1. when 
the parties have no capacity to contract; as in the case of idiots, 
lunatics, and in some states, under their local regulations, habitual 
drunkards. vide parties to contracts, sec. 1; 1 hen.  munf 69; 1 south. r. 
361; 2 hayw. r. 394; newl. on contr. 19; 1 fonb. eq. 46; 3 camp. 128; long 
on sales, 14; highm. on lunacy, 111, 112 chit. on contr. 29, 257. 
     4.-2. when the contract has for its object the performance of an act 
malum in se; as a covenant to rob or kill a man, or to commit a breach of 
the peace. shep. to. 163; co. lit. 206, b 10 east, r. 534. 
     5.-3. when the thing to be performed is impossible; as, if a man were 
to covenant to go from the united states to europe in one day. co. lit. 206, 
b. but in these cases, the impossibility must exist at the time of making 
the contract; for although subsequent events may excuse the performance, the 
contract is not absolutely void; as, if john contract to marry maria, and, 
before the time appointed, the covenantee marry her himself, the contract 
will not be enforced, but it was not void in its creation. it differs from a 
contract made by john, who, being a married man, and known to the 
covenantee, enters into a contract to marry maria during the continuance of 
his existing marriage, for in that case the contract is void. 
     6.-4. contracts against public policy; as, an agreement not to marry 
any one, or not to follow any business; the one being considered in 
restraint of marriage, and the other in restraint of trade. 4 burr. 2225; s. 
c. wilm. 364; 2 vern. 215; al. 67: 8 mass. r. 223; 9 mass. r. 522; 1 pick. 
r. 443; 3 pick. r. 188. 
     7.-5. when the contract is fraudulent, it is void, for fraud vitiates 
everything. 1 fonb. equity, 66, note newl. on contr. 352; and article fraud. 
as to cases when a condition consists of several parts, and some are lawful 
and others are not, see article condition. 
     8.-2. a devise or bequest is void:. 1. when made by a person not 
lawfully authorized to make a will; as, a lunatic or idiot, a married woman, 
and an infant before arriving at the age of fourteen, if a male, and twelve 
if a female. harg. co. lit. 896, if; rob. on wills, 28; godolph. orph. leg. 
21. 2. when there is a defect in the form of the will, or when the devise is 
forbidden by law; as, when a perpetuity is given, or when the devise in 
unintelligible. 3. when it has been obtained by fraud. 4. when, the devisee 
is dead. 5. and when there has been an express or implied revocation of the 
will. vide legacy; will. 
     9.-3. a writ or process is void when there was not any authority for 
issuing it, as where the court had no jurisdiction, in such case, the 
officers acting under it become trespassers, for they are required, 
notwithstanding it may sometimes be a difficult question of law, to decide 
whether the court has or has not jurisdiction. 2 brownl. 124; 10 co. 69; 
march's r. 118; 8 t. r. 424; 3 cranch, r. 330; 4 mass. r. 234. vide articles 
irregularity; regular and irregular process. vide, generally, 8 com. dig. 
644; bac. ab. conditions, k; bac. ab. infancy, c. i; bac. ab. h.t.; dane's 
ab. index, h.t.; 3 chit. pr. 75; yelv. 42, a, note 1; 1 rawle, r. 163; bouv. 
inst index, h.t.
