Wild Beast Test: cognitive insanity and supplemented that with irresistible impulse insanity.

It was one of the first tests used for the Insanity Defense. At first was called complete madness defense then later became The Wild Beast Test. Complete madness was first established as a defense to criminal charges by the common-law courts in late-thirteenth-century England.
