Dr. Maudsley opened a discussion on “Criminal Responsibility in relation to Insanity,” in the Psychological Section of the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, held in London on 1st August, 1895. He said—I cannot help feeling that I am undertaking a task which is likely to be somewhat barren, for there is little to be said that has not been said over and over again, and will, I fear, have to be said over and over again; for, notwithstanding that the legal test has been condemned by eminent judges and that it has no foundation in science, it still flourishes in full vigour.
