At the “Congrès des Médecins Aliénistes et Neurologistes” Dr. Ernest Dupré, of Paris, gave a lecture on the self-accusing insane, studied from a medico-legal point of view. He made first an ætiological and clinical study of the idea of self-accusation; and second, a medico-legal study of the conditions created by these patients, and the duties of magistrates and of the physicians commissioned to report upon their mental condition.
