One chief feature in this case is the opposite opinion formed by two judges as to the law of lunacy, and we are inclined to think that, with all its faults—we had almost said follies—the trial of Weldon v. Winslow was more according to law than was the one of Weldon v. Semple. Both judges seem to have agreed in thinking there was something “shocking” in lunacy proceedings, and that there was necessity for immediate change in the laws regulating detention of persons of unsound mind. Everything in the lunacy world indicates unrest and unstable equilibrium, and we only hope that legislation will not follow in a panic.
