Unsound Mind, Or Unsound Memory Definition
These words have been adopted in several statutes, and sometimes indiscriminately used, to signify not only “lunacy,” which is periodical madness, but also a permanent adventitious insanity as distinguished from idiocy. 1 Ridg. Pari. Gas. 518; 3 Atk. 171. The term “unsound mind” seems to have been used in those statutes in the same sense as “insane;” but they have been said to import that the party was in some such state as was contradistinguished from idiocy and from lunacy, and yet such as made him a proper subject of a commission to inquire of idiocy and lunacy. Shelf. Lun. 5; Ray, Med. Jur. prel. § 8; 8 Ves. 66; 12 Ves. 447; 19 Ves. 286; 1 Beck, Med. Jur. 573; Cooper, Ch. Gas. 108; 2 Madd. Chanc. Prac. 731, 732.
