The Court referred to Wharton's Criminal
Law, book first, paragraph Is, of these views.
As this question seems TO be constantly coming
up, will, before closing with these observa-

insanity is Of all questions in the criminal Ju-

many degrees of 1t, so many species OF 1t, the
human mind is so easily affected, so subject OF
being influenced, to becoming diseased, that
the ablest writers of the law have acknowl-
edged their inability to draw satisfactory lines
by which to test whether 4 party under given
circumstances acted under an insane impulse,
insanity of mind, or otherwise. ,.

SECRETARY AND MIR. FREDERICK SEWARD.
Both these gentlemen continue to recuperate
In health. This morning. for the first time,
Secretary Seward laid aside the wire casing
or machinery in which his injured jaw has
been held for so long time. He now wears
only an elastic covering over his lower teeth
which he will not long hence be able to dis
pence with also. 1t is clear that he will ulti-
,nately bear very slight traces of the injuries
to which he has been subjected. as the bunch
ing or protuberance on his injured jaw will
subside, with the removal OF its cause.-the
wire casing, as above mentioned.
Mr.. Frederick Seward, we hear proposes
shortly to go to Cape May, where the bracing
atmosphere will doubtless greatly accelerate
his entire recovery. We rejoice to know that
with the exception of the physical weakness
which his sufferings have so far left npon him
he may be said already to have almost entirely
recovered from his dreadful injuries

The Court convened at 10 o'clock this morn

Mr.. Wilson objected to that portion of Mrs

Mr.. Wilson objected to such answers as en-

Mr.. Bradley said that the partie were en-

deceased raised company, and the marriage
was not consummated because he fell from his
horse, and this witness referred To q letter on
that subject.
Judge Wyle said that he should admit this
evidence with the understanding that the letter
should be produced.
Mr.. Wilson also objected to the character of

The District Attorney denied that the admis-
sion Of the deceased could be offered to show
the cause of insanity. They should first prove

to show it.
Judge Wylie said that from the time the de-

could choose their mode of offering the evil

Mr. Darlington argued that the defense at
tempted to prove a fact by hearsay evidence.
Burroughs was, as far as this case is con-

third party by the deceased could not show the
state OF mind of the accused. This is not of
Tered to show insanity, but for the purpose of
showing a cause.
