that she was liable to do just exactly what
she did do finally. Why's Because reason
had been dethroned. Because the power
to control herself had been taken from her
And who did this? A man goes out and
down here on the street, walks into a sa-
loon, makes himself drunk, does it de-
liberately and then walks out into the
street and kills somebody, and the law
says he is responsible. Whys Because
he deliberately made himself drunk, and
put himself into the position deliberately
that caused the fatal deed. But another
man takes him, dragS him into
a saloon, pours liquor down
his throat and makes him drunk,
and in the drunken frenzy he kills the
man who committed that act. The law
says he is not guilty. Why! Because he
did not place himself in the condition that
caused the fatal act. And so direct atten-
tion as to who it was that made this girl
drunk. Who was it thai put her into the
situation that finally ended in this tragedy!
1 directed your attention to what consti-
tutes the crime of murder, but perhaps the
old common law definition, as laid down by
Lord Coke, is more comprehensive, and [
want to call your attention to that defini-
ton. He says that murder is when per-
son of sound memory or discretion unlaw-
fully killeth any reasonable creature in
being and under the kings peace, with NAL
ice aforethought, either express or i'm
piled" First, then, you find that it must
be a person of sound memory and discre-
ton, which means person of sound mind
1t means one who Is capable of controlling
his actions, one who is not swayed by any
terrific mental distress or trouble. And
again it must be someone who is under the
peace OF the king, or who in this country

l am sustained in this view by the
decision in the case of The Queen VS..

143. 1t appears in that case that
an election had been held for supply
ing one extraordinary vacancy and
three ordinary vacancies in the
council of a borough. Two sets of
candidates leach consisting of FOUR
were proposed. The votes for the
successful candidates were given on
paper, each sta ting the names of the
four, but not distinguishing the
vacancy, which any one was intend
ed to fill.
A legal proceeding was started to
test the title of one of said success

said successful candidates 10 his OF

The Tourt held in that case, that
the election was void. although
statements were offered that no real
misunderstanding existed among
the voters.
