I don't know whether it was a complaint against Dr. Shaw. I know the magistrates refused to take his evidence. At the union he was not confined to the infirmary. He had a little room where he bad liberty to go in and out, and used to walk about the garden reading the paper nearly all day. I don't remember whether he went away himrlf or was fetched away. During the time he was there he told me who he was. He said he had been a wine merchant at Windsor, and that he bad been mayor of Windsor. Ideal recollect whether be had Ices of memory in June, but he bad in November, for I see I made the entry, " lou of memory." At that time he did not recol lect haying seen me or having been at Barnet. I did not examine him specially to ascertain if his memory wee gone, but only asked him generally for the purpose of satisfying his friends. In the ease of a pure having seen his daughter, and being in the course of the day unable to recollect anything about the interview, I should say it was owing tosoftening of the brainproducea by physical causes. I should not say he was of sound mind. I should not say he was able to manage his own affairs. He would not have sufficient memory, in other words not sufficient mind. He could answer perfectly all I asked about himself, and about all that was going around him, but when I asked him any thing that taxed his memory he was cert..inly very defi cient. I was with him about ten minutes. I did not see hint from the time he left the union till the Ist No- vember. I should may that he u not a lunatic, bat that be is a person of unsound mind, but I could not certify that he was a person who ought to be taken charge of and placed ander care and treatment. It would not be fair to lock such a person up in a lunatic asylum. He ought to be placed under care and control ; but not de prived of his liberty. Re.examined by Mr. Merriman—Did not know of his own knowledge that the mairistratea had refused to take the evidence of Clods ; but inferred it, as Clods was sent away. Saw no symptom of insanity. Saw no symptom of unsoundness of mind except the loss of memory. He was quite able to distinguish right from wrong. To Mr. Vaughan—lt is a very difficult matter to define insanity. I should not consider a person insane who bad no delusions, and was not dangerous to himself and others. Or rather if a person has delusions and is danger ous I should say that he is insane, but there are a variety of other cases. Delusions are the principal symptoms of insanity. I don't know of any important symptoms other than delusions and being dangerous to himself end others. He made no complaint to me in June. He said he was perfectly comfortable. Mr. Edwin Joseph—l sin a surgeon at Barnet. I have been 22 years in practice for myself, and as an assistant twelve years before that. I have seen a great deal of lunacy, and have frequently during my long practice, certified lunatics. I first saw him in the lanes, when I took notice of him because he had a paralysed walk. In November I was sent for by Dr. I Shaw to see him. I went and saw him at Mr. Shaw's residence, had • long conversation with him and examined him with a view to ascertain his state of mind, and came to the deliberate conclusion that he was not insane. I certified to that effect. (The certificate was put in.) I have been present at these proceedings, and after hearing the evidence I should not feel justifi ed in certifying that he was a lunatic, or of unsound mind, and ought to be placed under re straint. He required care and kindness, which I consider he has at Dr. Shaw's. Cross-examined by Mr. Poland—l saw him in bed the second time I called, which was on the 12th of November. I found that he was very deficient in memory but did not mention that in the certificate, considering it to be no proof of insanity. I don't consider him a man of unsound mend. In the construction of the act, I should soy of defective mind. I have known a man of sound mind who told me he could not remember his own name. I don't think forgetting the visit of his daughter the same day a proof of unsound mind. It m ight occur to many old men. The patient is senile. He is prematurely old from excess. I think he is capable of managing what affairs he has. I don't think if he bad money he would take care care of it ; be would go and get drunk. When sober, I should say if be had money be could go and take lodgings for himself, buy provisions, and generally take care of his affairs. Be-examined by Mr. Merriman—l agree with Dr. God atone that Clode ought not to be placed under restraint. I don't agree with him that there is softening of the brain. I think the derangement arises from the spinal marrow, and not from the brain at all. To Mr. Vaughan—l attribute the loss of memory to pre mature old age, the result of excess. I do not consider loss of memory a symptom of unsoundness of mind, though it may accompany an unsound mind. In a person of un sound mind I should expect the drawing of unsound conclu sions and incoherency. Ins person of defective mind, loss of memory. A letter of Clode's was put in as evidence of his state of mind, at least to the extent that he was able to write co- herently. At this stage of the ease Mr. Merriman asked for a far ther adjournment, which was granted, Dr. Shaw's own recognisance" being again taken for his appearance. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHASES — WRONGFULLY IN CUSTODY. . COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Hr. Registrar Holroyd.) iH RE W. 0. YOUNG. The bankrupt, a .hipbroker, of 3, Newman's-court, Cornhill, and lately residing at Palace-gardens-terrace, Notting-hill, has died since the last sitting. The debts amount to 24,242/, of which 9,260/. ia due to Messrs. Gibbs and Co., of Old Broad-street, who hold as security a ship and stone shares, and 6,2701 to Messrs. Alexander Hall and Co., ship-builders, Aberdeen. Evidence being given of the bankrupt's death, the usual order was made. IN HZ JOHN FLEMING. The bankrupt, a publican, late of the White Home, Rolland -street, Blackfrisrs, applied for his discharge from debts of 607!. This was opposed on the ground that he had vexatiously attended an action brought against him by his brewers; but His Honour did not think the charge made out, and ranted the order. The decrease of prevure noticed yesterday Ilea extended to all our stations, sad amounts to nearly half an Inch In the east coast of England. The rapid fall shown by yeaterday'safternoon reports, as occurring In Scotland, has not bees of serious extent ; and the mercury hen began to rise again at Valenti* this morn ing Temperatures have risen generally, except In the extreme north of our Islands. Strong south .west winds blew last night on the south-coast of Leland; they have veered to the north west, and have moderated. On our Channel coasts the winds are light and variable, but In the North they blow from the south west, Peg prevails on our mouth coast. Rain has fallen on all our coasts, and mostly In Ireland. DARING ROBBRRY. —The shop of Mr. Leach, a watchmaker and jeweller, in Hart-street, Mark-lane, was mitered a few days ago, and stook-in-trade of the value of 4001. or 500/. stolen, consisting of 36 gold and 45 silver watches, 25 gold guardehains, a shawl brooch, two wedding nags, 17 diamond and other rings, three gold keeper rings, olie mourning ring, and a number of seals, keys, charms, sleeve links and other articles of jewellery. Hart-street, the scene of the robbery, connects Creetchedfrian with lisrk-lane, and Mr. Leach's shop is on the ground floor, the upper part of the premises being let out in offices chiefly. There is • street door common to all the occupants, and within that is • side dear, locked at nights, leading to the shop of Mr. Leach. The watches and articles of jewellery above men- nitrated were on the evening of Friday last placed partly ler . a wooden box, and partly on trays, according to custom, and deposit e d i n an iron safe, with other valuable property forming part of his stock. The shop, like those of many other jewellers, since the burglary in Cornhill, has usually keen lighted with gas throughout the night, and was so hired on the night of F r id a y, t o i nsure the greater safety. robbery, however, was not committed during the night, but on Saturday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock. At 8 o'clock the promises are supposed to have been all mete, for some one connected with • floor at the top of the home, on opening the street door at that hour from the out side and voreeding upstairs to his work, observed nothing amiss. About 20 minutes afterwards, on Mr. leach's son, • boy of 14, arriving, he found the door of the shop had been oPened by a false key, and the gas inside turned off. The iron safe was also open, and a skeleton key had been left in the door. The robbery must have been effected hastily, foe much valuable property still remained in drawees and other parts of the safe untouched, and the thieves bad taken that which first presented itself. Several watches and other articles also remained in the window undis tarbed. They got clear off with their booty, and up to • late hour last evening were still at large. A reward of 1001. has been offered for their apprehension and the re covery of the stolen property. ADMIRALTY, Dec. 4.—Arrourrmarrrs.--Captain Cecil W. Buckley, V.C., to the Pylades, commissioned.

SON STRING TO DRINK."—We will say this much, indeed, of the better specimens of the peasantry, that they are beginning to see the folly and wickedness of gems intoxication. But the old tradition, according to which " something to drink" expresses the highest conception of pleasure to which the rustic imagination is capable of soaring, is still in full force. " Whet should you do, James, if you suddenly had a large sum of money left you 1" said a lady of our acquaintance to her gardener, a most respectable married man, • labourer in the village. " I dun no, miss," was the answer ; " but I think I should have summut to drink." In a very different part of Eng land we know another moat respectable character, who is sometimes engaged to go out with shooting parties, and who, exhibiting on his return from one such expedition a woody and dissatisfied cast of countenance, was questioned as to the reason of it. " When I goes out • shootin' I likes a skillful," was the forcible and ingenu ous answer. Now this man was no drunkard ; he had no extra work to do on such occasions. His chief occupation was lying down under a hedge and pretending to mark. But an enormous quantity of beer was in his eyes the eoping.stoae of all human undertakings, and therefore the legitimate object of a man who wished to see everything done as well as possible. and who conceived that shooting without much malt was a crude and imperfect form of art. We were visiting the other day—in rather a retired neighbourhood, it must be conftsued—where it is still re corded with pride that a farmer, lately dead, used to drink 26 glasses of gin and water every Saturday night, in this wise—he wore a long single-bresated waistcoat with thirteen buttons, and for every glass that he drank, he undid one ; when ha got to the bottom he buttoned it up again upon the same principle, after which process he welt, doubtless, as a London jester, when be heard the story, observed " tight in both senses of the word."—Cornhili I Magazine for December.
