Side 221 - ... to establish a defence on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that at the time of the committing of the act the party accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or, if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what was wrong.

Side 667 - No act committed by a person while in a state of voluntary intoxication is less criminal by reason of his having been in such condition.
