	The CPS : Offences Against The Person, Incorporating Charging Standard
		An offence contrary to section 20 should be reserved for those wounds considered to be serious (thus equating the offence with the infliction of grievous, or serious, bodily harm under the other part of the section).
		The offence is committed when a person does an act that is more than merely preparatory to the commission of an offence of murder, and at the time the person has the intention to kill.
		These offences are relevant in circumstances where the injury does not amount to grievous bodily harm or where the acts of the defendant are not sufficiently proximate to the indictable offences to allow a charge of attempting to commit that indictable offence.

		The offence charged is against the person of the mother, and is presumed to be, as in all other cases of assault, without her consent.
		The charge of assault, of an offence against the person of the mother, is clearly purged of criminality by her assent.
