Not so in reference to other subjects. True, it is thought by some that such an unsound- ness destroys the idea of moral responsi- bility. Tlie law, hov/ever, is more rigid and stoical ; it holds there may be insani- ty and a moral sense still remaining in the mind with a responsible judgment ; and makes the circumstances of each particular case determine whether the moral sense be entirely destroyed, or only affected by the general unsoundness. If the indi- vidual labor under a single delusion... that will not yield to evidence, and remam otherwise sane, the philosophy of the law, as at present expounded, assumes that upon qiiestions in Avhich the delusive ideas are not necessarily involved, they will have no inflvience upon the mind. So that if there remain the bare knowledge of right and wrong, the person is capable of committing crime, no matter how strange and absurd may be the action of his passions.
The man Mr. Erskine mentioned in the Hadfield trial, who believed himself the Christ, evidently could distinguish right and wrong.
