practically the same thing as in relation to the appointment of a guardian. On the one hand, it does not require a total deprivation of reason or absence of understanding. On the other hand, it does not include mere weakness of mind short of imbecility. It means such a degree of derangement as ren ders the subject incapable of understanding the nature of the particular affair and his rights and remedies in regard to it and in capable of taking discreet and intelligent ac tion. See Burnham v. Mitchell, 34 Wis. 134. There are a few other legal rights or rela tions into which the question of insanity en ters, such as the capacity of a witness or of a voter; but they are governed by the same general principles. The test is capacity to understand and appreciate the nature of the particular act and* to exercise intelligence in its performance. A witness must understand the nature and purpose of an oath and have enough intelligence and memory to relate correctly the facts within his, knowledge. So a voter must understand the nature of the act to be performed and be able to make an intelligent choice of candidates. In either case, eccentricity, "crankiness," feeble-mind edness not amounting to imbecility, or in sane delusions which do not affect the matter tn hand, do not disqualify. See District of Columbia v. Armes, 107 U. S. 521, 2 Sup. Ct. 840, 27 L. Ed. 61S; Clark v. Robinson, 88 111. 502. Insanus est qui, abjecta ratione, omnia cum impeta et furore facit.
