A SENSIBLE MADMAN.—In the discussion
lunacy and criminal responsibility in the 6°c
Science Congress on Tuesday, Lord Brougham relatedq
anecdote to show that it was a mistake to suppose
sane persons were not amenable to deterrent motives.
Tooke was sitting in a room by himself one day, ‘4,let
rushed a lunatic flourishing a large-bladed knife in hill' "°t
The lunatic said, " You are Mr Horne Tooke, are you nvo
"Yes," was the reply. " Then," said the lunatic,
soon put an end to you." Herne Tooke answered, "
do you will suffer for it.' "Oh I" said the inadwall'o,
came out of Dr Shipton's asylum t'other day, and tbq
punish me." Horno Tooke rejoined, with grea:
ege
"Then, I suppose you don't know that a law ivol3
only t'other day saying that all lunatics should be 11°3°m- I
" No, I didn't know that," responded the madman,
throwing down the knife in a tremor, and slinking °-
the room.—(Laughter.)
