This has been disoussed by local law
yers and it is tbeii opinion thai n
sound and effective remedy can be
found in this way.
A bill has heen suggested, tbe tenor
pf which will be to vest the courts
with power to inflict severe punish
ment in oases where tbe insanity plea
bast been set up. It is proposed to give
judges the power to sentence a person
aciiused who pleads insanity without
any further proceedings., aud some
lawyers favor tbe extreme penalty of
life imprisonment. It is believed that
euoh a severe punishment would cause
men acoused of murder to hesitate be
fore offering the plea of insanity. One
thing is certain, that tbe legislature
will have to deal with the subject
