* Baron Huddleston has more recently taken occasion, when giving judgment in another case, to observe that the whole subject of the Lunacy Law must be reconsidered, and he gives as an illustration of this that “There is a power in our Criminal Law by which a man charged with the gravest offence may, on the certificates of two justices and two medical men, be withdrawn by the Secretary of State from trial; and this also without open examination of witnesses, and without the ordinary test of cross-examination. No doubt at present there may be no probability that a Secretary of State will abuse such a power. But it is an enormous power to give to any person to remove from trial one who has been committed for trial for a serious offence.” Google Scholar
