“There are perpetual instances occurring in the police courts of; thefts from counters, when the defence of mental in stability, taking the form of an irresistible impulse, is put up. Having regard to the wide authority there is for the belief that in some instances these thefts are the vagaries of irresponsible people, the fact remains that the majority of, the cases are an exhibition of fla,t dishonesty. Dr. Antheaume, in ‘Le Matin,’ writing on an epidemic of thefts perpetrated by women from the counters of large shops, went as far as It is possible to go to explode the theory of irresponsibility by one of his arguments >which it is difficult to get over. ‘Can we grant,’ he asked, ‘an overpowering impulse in an otherwise honest person as the reason for thefts front the display counters., when there; are no instances extent of the goods being returned on the impulse disappearing ?’ " —The Lancet.
