He believed ic attacks have affected minds, but did not believe that they affected minds as far as was claimed. The testimony tends to show, in luis Judgment, that this man was naturally of weak intellect. Was there any testimony tend- ing to show that he was so idiotic that he did not know right from wrong’ The Court then re- viewed the evidence as to the accused having been drinking, saying that it was not an excuse, but on the ‘cther Land the party in get- t drunk committed an offense. He next referred to the statement of the prisoner that if he had not killed them they would have killed him; to the theories that the mother-in-law having interfered, engendered the feelings which prompted the commision of the act, and to the atrociousness of the act, tending to show that the Perpetrator could not have been of sound min le could not see that such was the case. It was claimed that he did not take the ordinary precautions to escape, should consider such claim in connec- wrth the a ae would show what he was doing, ow was respon- sible. Does the testimony of washing the brick and hiding the knife show that he had not the capacity to know what he was doing? He re- ferred to the counsel hat quoted from a work on medical jurisprudence to show that persons had been convieted when were insane, and remarked that such was the case, but that while some few have been arin punished and Seeeets many had cheated the gallows by such @ plea. He read the prayers for instructi published in Tharsday’s Star. On the fourth prayer, offered by the defence, he said that the law re- persons as sane and it was forthe fence to a the insanity, and he therefore overruled that prayer. Mr. Miller asked leave to amend the prayer so as toread “reasonable doubt,” and the Court overruled this. [Ciciuaion the Court held the law to be that, if the jury believe the accused caused the death of the party they should find a verdict of unless they shail find that he was incapa- le of knowing wright from wrong by reason of disease or Mr. Miller that the Court instruct the Jury further that if they believed that the ac- cused, aman of weak mind, committed the act in self defense they should find for the prisoner, The Court ov this pi T+ Mr. Miller asked whether in such & case it would be murder or iter?
