Nit hoU delivered his judgment in this important, difficult, and novel rntc. It occupied nearly five hours. The particulars of the case were amply detailed in our ic ]>ort of the argument, which engaged the attention of this court during neatly the whole of the last term. It wu a suit to de termine the validity of the will of the late Ely Scott, who died in November. 1821, leaving the balk of hi* property, amounting to AlU.OGO, to his nephews, Thomos anu Valentine Clark, to the exclusion of his only daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Dev. The mm wn?. commenced in April, 1833, on the ground that the mind of the deceased was unsound atfthc time of executing the instru ment. A commission of lunacy had bcents km out ngainbt the deceased a thort tlYnc Krcvidhs to his death, who was declared, y tjic verdict of the jury, to have been lunatic from the. first of January, 1831, period posterior to the execution of the will. The outline of the plea on.behalf of the daughter was this?that the deceased had conceived an aversion to her at her birth, that he labored undir a constant delusion ot mind with respect to her; and that* notwith standing her conduct was virtuous, dutiful and proper, he insisted that she was profli gate, abandoned and depraved. The plea of Messrs. Clark, in favor of the will, al leged, that there was such a degree fit mis conduct on the part of Mrs. Dew, as justi fied, in some measure, the harshness with which she had been treated, and accounted for the eccentricities of the deceased, by re ferring to his peculiar habits and religious tcntlments. The general outline of the case was sufficient to snow that it was attended with great difficulty, and required the closc examination of the evidence, which com posed a greater mass than had, perhaps, ever been produced before this court. Ex csntricity, severity, and violence were not enough- to establish Insanity; nor way the court to be influenced by the unfortunate sit* nation of the daughter, cut off, as well as her issue, from her father's property. The simple question for the court was, whether the supposed tcKtator was of sound, or un sound mind. The first point was to define where excentrlcity ended, and derangement commenced. Derangement was of various Linda, from the maniac chained to the floor, to the Individual who was insane only upon a single point, and that rarely displayed. In common parlance, a man was said to be mad When he exhibited strange and unaccounta ble tehaviour; but in his (Sir John Nkhol's) o.jidfc. guided by observation and expe ricnceFthe true criterion was this?where there Is delusion of mind, there insanity is to be fotmdi'in other words, persons who believtfthlnjfaxlst, which exist only In their own imagiaatTO^and whom no persuasion could coovinre t<WVe contrary, are unbound. In confirmation to t|ffs opinion, It might not be improper to refer xb authorities, mcdit.al and legal. Dr. Battle, In his Trtatiu on Mudnr*#, after observing that a too lively, or a too languid perception Was not property madness, states that a deluded imagination was ma only an indispensable, but an essen tial property it madmsi. Mr. Locke, thoogn more distinguished u* philosopher than a physician, (having practised as soch,' states, that madmen joined ideas wrongly and mistook them for truths; they mmV right deductions from wrong premises. l>r. Francis Willis, In a recent treatise on Afen tai Drrangrmrnt, observed Uist a sound mind was always free from delusion; that minds most be vcak, but, unless laboring dehuWifU Were not unsound; ?n?l that d Idhnf^ar" als^fs under the Mtornoe of delusion. In regard tofecovcry from Ww mciKv, the aa#ie writer stated, that no mo . < could be pronounced restored to nnit^ tm leaa be confessed hiadeluiion. ? ? Then, with renect to legal w^thorWew %? Lord Coke and Lord Hale had been refer red to In the inttnieiiK 'ind no higher or creator authorities could be qeofcd. The former said (1 Inst 340.) "Hero Little e? phprti a man of no aouna memory to bo ?< ton eom/io9 menti?. h+any timet the Lam word explrlncth the true mow. and calleth - Mm not a men*, dement, furioeut, fuluut, rtuttue, or the tike* for non comfico menti* in moat aure and legal." Unsound . nlnd was the correct meaning efftots co#*~ . to* mentu in these courts. It had been sale! '?hat partial inaanity waa unknown to the law. l*hia moat have art?n fron? oome mistake u to what had fallen from him. (Sir J. Sicoll,) all be meant wai that.a perimi night be more or less insane on particular potato. So Lord Rale .said* that there was a partial and total insanity of mind, fuoad hoe, quoad hone vttlud ineanlre: that it. waa very difficult to define the invhri Pie line between partial and complete Insanl y, which must be left in a great measure ' io the wisdom of thp courts. The leatf!e4~ ludge then referred to the remarks of Mr. lirskine, in the Hetfleld case, and proceed* ed: After laying down the principle* which . must govern the present caae; fhe next thing was td bring the facts to the teat of these principles. Inaanity must Jrnve existed, not * :aprice, or eccentricity merely} and Insanity *'? ..... i ?> -? - -? - " *** nust have existed at the time the will wad nade. The learned judge then went very minutely through the evidence to these three >ointr, namely the. character and conduct, if the deceased, the character ana imputed iiisconduct of the daughter, and the iinprec ilon of the deceased, with rcspect to thft . latter point; remarking, as he proceedod, upon the extravagance, the brutality, anil < ibstlnate aversion of the deceased towards Ills daughter; the sufferings of the latter*' and the little ground there appeared to bo . for imputing imscooduct to her. Numerous ? circumstances proved, in his (Sir 1. Nichol's) opinion." that the mind of Mr. Bcott in res fiect to hi* daughter, was unsound. Thedc- . ubion could be traced down to hta connection with the minister of -Bedford chnpcl, in 18iu, which began under poculiar clrcum lancet; numelv, his going to the clergymen . to complain that his (Mr. Scott'u) servant had not cleaned his shoes properly. He (Sir John Hicoll) saw nothing in the tonddct it ? the Rev. Mr. llartlctt. but yrhat was humane and worthy. He might be a little biased. It was difficult even for the court to avoid be ing warped bv feelings of comwHtdon for the unfortunute femalo concerned,. which way one reason-why his judgment was so full, hi oidcr that the parties interested might un derstand the rrounds of his.decision. A de lusion, though on a. particular uibject, inigh*-1 develnpe Itself on others; it dklso in uc present caae. The learned judge then dc ? tailed some of the most remarkable of the deceased's eccentricities: his severe prdw?v yionof religion, though he was accualofbed* to swear, and even re*d to hit nervantv, book^denyingthe acripturea: his J*cxtflib}'~ reports of cures he had ijerformedwy elec tricity; hlsObliging hia first wife to bathe in cold water a few days after delivery, where- ? /< by she caught cold and died! his qu4rrels with draymen, drovers, andboya, wnoused to halloo after him In the streets, "Mfcd > Stott! V hia lending to a ttranger 4*500 pounds about the samewuen he rewaided Mr. Bart ? leu for services of which he (the deceased) - spoke in the. moat extravagant terms, with 5s. tcc. The same and regular manner its which the will was drawn up wentaOme wuy towards a proof of sanity; but it was laid down by Hwinburnc, that if there was but one word that sounded to folly, the Instni- - ineAt waa void. Now. the wilj did contain a clause, by the dcceaied'* particular instruc tion, which showed the prevalence of the aame delusion as that under which he had always labored. Even in his last illness, when the llev. Daniel Wilson called' up him, he found the aame delusion; he chai ed Mr. Wilson with encouraging his dan trr In her un naturalness and rebellion. T^^ although his daughter waa shown to bo ex emplary in her conduct, and dutiffil towirda her father, iu hia estimation ahu waa depra ved, vicious, full of artifice and hvpoctfsy, the special property of &it:;n, and in per petual rebel!len against paternal authority> whilst he was a pattern of purity, '<s pure as the deity, perfect in paternal uflc..tiot^ though he was flogging her with rods twilted with wire till the blood came, pulllngout her hair by the roots, and compelling her to painful drudgery; and he represented these acts as proofs of hlsbelnx the beat of f.ithera. The learned judge concluded a very lumin ous judgment, by stating hia fall conviction that the deceased, when he made his will, was no* of sound mind; he accordingly pro nounced against the validity of the will, and declared the deceased to have died intestate, and that adminlstration should be granted to Mrs. Dew. . m Chart** Carroll.?Among other facts stal ed by Dr. Brown, yc*tetd*y, while dwelling upon the remarkable coincidence of ih<J deaths of Admits and Jefferson, on the- very, Iday upon which, fifty years ago, they ed their signatures to the declaration of fan dependence, was, that Mr. Carroll did hot ftignthat instrument until ?ftefwards.
