He was sentenced to fifteen years* penal servitude. VOL. IV. XI 290 § 88. THE MORBID PROPENSITIES. § 88. Insanity. — Continuation. — The so-called Moebid Pro- pensities. The natural impulses, the impulse for self-preservation, those of hunger and thirst, and the sexual impulse, may be the occasion of immoral and criminal actions, and may consequently come in ques- tion in regard to the mental condition of the culprit, and his respon- sibility. It is only in the rarest cases, however, that the a...ssistance of the physician is required, since the statutes, in their regulations respecting " self defence,'^ " passions and emotions," and " extenuating circum- stances," everywhere present the Judge with a suitable basis whereon to frame his opinion. Where the instinct of self-^preservation has sought to rescue the existence threatened at a forbidden price, all that the Judge has to determine is the fact of its being a case of ''^ self-defence/' When the long unappeased desire for nomishment, which is only a modal development of the instinct of self-preservation, has hurried its victims into the most horrible and detestable deeds, as has been the case in those who have been shipwrecked and driven up and down upon tlie ocean, or have been buried alive, or in any other way shut up together and apart from the world, then we may leave it to the Judge to determine whether he will regard the case as one of self- defence, or extenuating circumstances, &c.
