Such was the man who had been instructed by the President of the Second Chamber of the Court to which Popinot had belonged since his reinstatement among the judges in civil law to examine the Marquis d'Espard at the request of his wife, who sued for a Commission in Lunacy.
The murder was fully proved by unquestionable evidence; but the earl pleaded insanity of mind; and, in order to establish this plea, called many witnesses to attest his lunacy in a variety of instances, which seemed too plainly to indicate a disordered imagination: unfounded jealousy of plots and conspiracies, unconnected ravings, fits of musing, incoherent ejaculations, sudden starts of fury, denunciations of unprovoked revenge, frantic gesticulations, and a strange caprice of temper, were proved to have distinguished his conduct and deportment.
Olphert thinks it has had much to do with the increase of lunacy in Ireland of late years. From his official connection with the asylum at Letterkenny, he knows that while it used to accommodate the lunatics of three counties, it is now hardly adequate to the needs of Donegal alone. Everything about Ballyconnell House is out of key with the actual military conditions of life here.
We may fairly say that all crimes committed without a visible motive are founded upon lunacy, a disorder of the brain. I do not believe in one being, either corporal or spiritual, that would do mischief purely for mischief's sake, out of evil principle, of pure malice.
I've heard tell of that. Hev the gale blown it up?" "No, but by heaven I believe that I am in a fair way to find it." George took another step back, remembering the tales that Mrs. Jobson had told, and not being by any means sure but that the Colonel was in a dangerous condition of lunacy. "Give me a glass of something to drink, water or milk, and I'll tell you.
'Don't tell me any responsible person is going even to consider the lunacy of tampering with the British Constitution 'We have heard that suggested, though for better reasons, Stonor laughed, but not Lord John.
Vaniman told himself that he was on the straight road to lunacy. He leaped up, in the frenzy of his determination forgetting that there were preliminaries yet to be attended to. "Sit down there, Convict Two-Seven-Nine, or I'll bore ye!" bawled Guard Wagg, with a mighty volume of tone. A deputy warden was crossing the yard. He flourished a commendatory salute to the vigilant warder.
It was sheer lunacy on the part of Richard to peep through his fingers to judge the effect of his words. For it is an established truth that the nerves of a man's back are sensitive to another's gaze. Ezra Hipps swung round so quickly that Richard failed to cover his face in time. The mischief was done. "Very clever," said the American and laughed.
Mopes, but I can see enough of you through it, to see that you are still a young man." "Inconsequent foolishness is lunacy, I suppose?" said the Hermit. "I suppose it is very like it," answered Mr. Traveller. "Do I converse like a lunatic?" "One of us two must have a strong presumption against him of being one, whether or no.
But although he did not achieve this distinction, he was made a little lower than that order, and became in due time a Master in Lunacy, a post, as it seemed from Sam's description, of the highest importance and no little fun.
