Affray Definition
In criminal law. The fighting of two or more persons in some public place to the terror of the people. 53 Ala. 640; 15 Ark. 204; 57 Mo. App. 502. It differs from a riot in not being premeditated; for if any persons meet together upon any lawful or innocent occasion, and happen on a sudden to engage in fighting, they are not guilty of a riot, but an affray only; and in that case none are guilty except those actually engaged in it. Hawk. P. C. bk. 1, c. 65; § 3; 4 Bl. Comm. 146; 1 Russ. Crimes, 271. Fighting in a private place is only an assault. 1 Cromp., M. & R. 757; 1 Cox, C. C. 177; 22 Ala. 15; 29 Ind. 206.
