Wounding or Causing Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent The OAPA 1861, s 18 provides:

'Whosoever shall unlawfully and maliciously by any means whatsoever wound or cause grievous bodily harm to any person, with intent … to do some grievous bodily harm to any person … shall be guilty of an offence …'

Again, note that the OAPA 1861, s 18 creates two offences: one of malicious wounding with intent to cause GBH, the second of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent to cause GBH.
