1. To govern on pretence of insanity 1. To maintain an absolute controul over
the person and fortune of a wife, husband, parent, child or brother, sister,
or other near relation on pretence of insanity.

This kind of oppression is seldom exercised upon
persons in perfect health of mind and whose behaviour

imputation on which the injury is founded. The

oppression coercion actually which is applied. To p. 43. last paragraph
