Excerpt from The Suggestion of Insanity in Criminal Cases and the Trial of the Collateral IssueThe following pages treat of the corollary to the proposition, and discuss the right of society to put insane offenders upon trial as indicated in the recent act of Parliament known as The Trial of Lunatics' Act, of 25th August, 1883, 46 and 47 Vict., ch. 38. The question is of practical importance by reason of the judicial action in the case of Oscar H. Webber, hereinafter referred to, tried and convicted of murder in Phila delphia, in 1886, notwithstanding the fact of insanity at the time of arraignment, when, for the first time in the history of crimi nal law, a court of final resort, in effect, upheld the right of trial contended for under modern criminal procedure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
