m frft?tlim for Which Satisfactory Anf ossr la Difficult. ^ Thirty yean ago a clever author < I"- wrote a booh in which he tried to T /<?how that the geniuses of the world ; -> ' had all boon insane. Today there Hjpre doctors who are going further, S and are propounding the startling i theory that few, if any people are en- i jM41tlr?ly sane! Mental specialists are al- i ' so telling foul of the legal test as to What constitutes insanity as regards < the responsibility of each of us for 5v breach of the law we may conies anlt. The law holds tl %t, in order to entitle a person char, ed with a crime /rv5Tto be acquitted on the ground of inp ! wanlty, It is not enough to show that he was suffering from mental instability or mental disease; or, in other . words was insane at the time he com- < mltted the act; but that the defence i must go further and satisfy the jury i that the mind of the accused was so diseased that be did not know what he was doing, or, if he did know what he was doing, that he did not know it was wronr to do it The law inquires into the degree of the insanity and its effect upon the specific action of the accused. A person who is without intellectual faculties?a congenital idiot, or who is permanently or totally insane ?is not criminally responsible at all. for he cannot have had a criminal Intent. A person who is only partially or only temporarily insane is not responsible for an act done during and in consequence of a phase of mental incapacity. For example, a man suffering from delirium tremens, which so affects his mind that he is not conscious of the nature of an act done by him in one of his paroxysms is entitled to a verdict of guilty but insane; | which means that he will be detained until he is cured. It is these partial or occasional darkenings of the mental faculties that are the most usual and that give rise to tne auricuity or determining whether a person, is or is not responsible in law for his act. For something done during a lucid interval, an occasional lunatic is considered to be 1 as much responsible as an entirely sane person. A partially insane person, such as those who suffer from delusions, but who, apart from the delusions, are of capable understanding, can only be considered irresponsible for what he does in consequence of his delusion. If A, for example, has the insane delusion that B. is seeking to kill him, and that in self-defense he must kill B, and does so, he will not be guilty DONT ~ * rvrcn a m UCOrAIR If you are troubled with pains Of aches; feel tired; have headachy indigestion,insomnia; painful passage of urine, you will find relief in GOLD MEDAL The world's standard remedy for kidney, liver, bladder and uric acid troubles and National Remedy of Holland since 1696.

But the fact that A fancies r he is the Cham of Tartary will not a secure his acquittal if he poisons hls.t wife. Doctors contend however, that q one delusion is sufficient to corrupt jt the whole mind, and it is absured to t say that a man with a delusion rea-lr sons and acts in a logical way. ill Nearly akin to the defense of in-.t sanity is the defense of drunkenness, t as to which it may be said that a a drunken man must be presumed to have intended the natural consequence of his act, unless the Jury is satis- ( fied that his mind had b^en so affect? ed by drink that he was incapable of knowing what he was doing was likely to inflict serious injury-. A case in point in which it had to be decided the liability of a man who, while ? drunk, had murdered a girl. It was held that temporary drunkenness, weakening the will and mental pow- > erb of the prisoner, was no excuse, and that the criminal must be hang- T ed. It may be admitted that the legal wuvur Hie uv/l I>n SttUOItlt'LUi71 but they heve been arrivd at after long experience, and so far the doctors have not succeeded in framing an alternate that would be at all practicable. It must not be forgotten, 1 too that in criminal cases the accus- I ed person has the protection of a Jury, t and that juries give the prisoner the ? benefit If there is any real doubt as t to whether he was mentally derang- < ed at the time he committed the act. , CREDITOR'S NOTICE.
