MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST .8, 1825 COMMLSION OF LUNACY. RUTH Der.—SATURDAY, A HQ-. 6. IN TUE MATTER OF TIIE REV. EDWARD FRANK SUPPOSED LUNATIC.) The-proceedings in this case were resumed this morning et the usual hour. • Mr. , SP;IfeE only appeared on behalf of Mr. Frank, Mr. Brougham haling left town last night for the no:. them circuit. The Court was attended by. a considerable number of persons during the day, but the crowd was not at all as great as chat 'of yesterday. Mr. Propart was recalled this morning, for the purpose of being re-examined as to some circumstances omitted yesterday. He said, in answer to questions from the Commissioners—l invariably found Mr. Frank correct as to accounts, and willing to obtain vouchers for monies paid by him. 1 hid a conver sation with him in 1820 or 1821, .when he was going to Camp. sail. He said his was' not to let the house at a great rent, but to have some tenant in it who would takescare of his girls. As - long as the 'taxes were paid, the reni'shateld-lte nominal. By the SOLICITOR-Gretritee.e-He was in the habit of looking over my accounts for attendance as a medical man. 'Mrs. Bury, I understood, was then under his protection. It. was by attending her that I was first introduced to Mr. Frank. By the CommissiortEas-1 have known Mr. Frank six or seven years. In the first four years of that time Isaw him cons stentlye -I was not in the habit of seeing - him so much since, .and have therefore no such opportunity of judging of his state of mind now. I thought his conversation in desiring to let CamOsall-honse, very_ ra t ion a l. H e would sometimes talk of his exploits with the ladies. I did not think his conversation correct as a clergyman ; but I have known of other clergymen who were as indiscreet-in their conduct and not insane. I al. ways thought him a weak man. He was rather reserved in the company of ladies in his family. I have known him for many yeare as a depraved man ; but I think a clergyman may be so without being insane. My decided opinion is, that he was of sound 'mind in February last. . Here some discussion arose between Mr. Spence and the Commissioners,. about' an examination of Mr. Frank a se- - cond time. A wish on the part of some of the Jury had been privately intimated to Mr. Spence, who said that such a 'pro ceeding would be irregular ; but that for his own part he had no objection to produce Mr. Frank as often as was re quired ; but an order, he thought, should be given- by the Chancellor--(whether this last observation referred to the pro- Auction of Mr. Frank, or some other matter, which was talked of in private,• between Mr. Spence and the Commissioners, we cannot say). Mr. Wittiam Burrows examined by Mr. SPENCE.—I re side at Islington; I was acquainted with Mr. Frank in 1822; I attended him professionally—sometime two or three times in a week; froin all I have seen of him, I am of opinion that he was a man of sound mind during that time. There was an oddness of manner about him, - chiefly arising from his incapacity of walking in a straight line—or of guiding himself when walking. He had else, I observed, an odd man ner of talking ; but it did not lead me to suspect that he was of unsound mind. His oddness was confined to the mode and manner of, expression. I saw him in May and June this year : in June he appeared to me to be somewhat low-spirited, which he accounted. for by his being in town on unpleasant business; I saw him last Friday week, and on Saturday and Sunday ; he was then better than when I saw. him in June ; I rode out with him in a gig on last Friday week, and he ex pressed his dislike to a gig in London, as it was dangerous; we conversed upon other topics, particularly on agriculture, on which he talked very rationally. The result of my con versation with him was, an opinion that he was of sound mind. I have seen him this morning, and think him rather in. better spirits. I believe him capable of managing his own affairs, in reference to his - mental powers ; but no: as to bodily, for he was blind. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL.---I did not at ally time ask him respecting his wife, or the imputations on- her chastity, or whether they were calumnies. I have not read the affidavits filed in these proceedings, not did I know the subjects best calculated to try his sanity with reference to those proceedings. -- By the COMMISSIONERS—I first attended Mr. Frank by desire, I suppose of Mrs. F., as I had before attended h er i n Ittriegi7. at — her - .lodoin in Goodge-street. I did not see Dr. Dickenson there. I did not know him. The illness...for which I attended Mrs. F. was an inflammation in the chest. a I never attended her for any other illness. Dr. Veitch examined by Mr. SPENCE—[Before his examin ation this gentleman said, "It seems to he the impression that I attend only to cases of insanity. I beg to correct that mis take. I pay a great attention to cases of insane persons, hut I also attend cases in which the body, and not the mind, is concerned.] He was then examined—l attend the Royal Naval Lunatic Asylum at Hoxton. In March last I examined into the state of Mr. Frank's mind. My object was to ascertain whether there was any striking default of mental powers, and whether they were not overlaid by the powers of ' imegina tion, so as to incapacitate him for conducting the ordinary affairs of life. He was first brought to my house by Dr. Reece. In'the course of my examinations I found bim a man certainly very weak, and wanting, as I may say, force of charaater; but there was no defect of intellectual power, so as to induce me to consider him either a maniac or an idiot. I see no reason why he should be considered as incompetent to conduct his, affiiirs_, -With those aide which men r equ i re w h o ere not brought up'to business. He seemed perfectly alive wide own interests. He was puntual to his appointments with me. He cattle on one occasion in a hackney-coach, and the coachman having over charged him 6d. or ls. lie refused to pay it. Cross-examined by the SOLICIToR-GENEair..—l spoke to him on the subject of his wife. - He did and doe* think that the imputations against his wife's chastity were calumnies. — He also told me he considered Dr. Dickenson his friend. He thought that Bellamy was his enemy, and had got, by im proper means, the possession of his papers. He did not say that it was by bribing the postmaster. He did not say why he parted with his wife; but he said that his taking her back was founded on his belief that the charges against her were un founded, and originated in a conspiracy by Mr. Bellamy and others. I have read the affidavits in the case. Assuming the ac count of the wife's alleged adultery to be true, 1 should not consider his going back to live with her a proof of unsoundness of mind. It may be weakness, want of delicacy, or profligacy iaf feeling ; but, not want of soundness or mind, nor want of reasoning powers. I have not heard him say that the post master was bribed by Mr. Bellamy ; but assuming that he had so said, I should consider it a proof of weakness of ,mind, or the effect of imposition, but not a want of soundness of mind. Ifathe statement had no foundation, I should call it delnsion,. arising from weakness or misrepresentation. I consider Mr. Frank, as far as his intellect goes, a man of .sound mind, but with great weakness, and, as I have before said, want of force of character. He is not of unsound mind. It is my opinion that the mind is sound, unless its defects are such as to come under the terms idiotism or lunacy. By the,Coune.—l think there is such a thing as undsouud. ness of mend. There is difficulty in satisfactorily describing un sonndnees of mind, hut probably I may express my view of it by saying, that when a man is an idiot on the one hand, he is un sound in mind, and unfit 'to govern his affairs ; and on the otd I would the h s w e i h i r n e i I n a g rl l i say, that a man is of unso un d mind when possessions uggestions all the o e his irnitta7i-re r u s t ioofti a his s mind. sub stantial truths, which no man in his senses would do. That Is . notalie state of Mr. Frank's mind. He is of very weak mind, but in my (minion he is neither idiot nor insane. I should know lunacy by the ascendancy which the imagination -has over the intellectual powers. From all•I have seen of Mr. Fr a nk (I g o not beyond that), I think him of sound mind. He never exhi bited to me any Pyrnotorn of insanity or delusion. The . Ties tions I put to Mr. Frank w ere as to Mrs. Fra n k ; he' :aid he believed her to be innocent, and that she was the victim of a conspiracy. I spoke to him of the deed of - settlement lie had made. He said it was to-provide for the five younger children, who would otherwise be unprovided for. I wee with Mr..Frank' about half an hour this morning. By Mr. Winn' MAUSII—I think there are gradations of' in tellect, but I do not believe there can be unsoundnese - of mind without being directly idiotism or lunacy. I conceive idiocy to be a .state of - absolute fatuity. I conc e i ve t h ere are differences of uns oundness, but they all cause under what I would call , years solely confined r a l t:t b ic e e l i in ( ri b v u a t t private iss eas insanity. Stave for the last twelve f th lu at n' ifiy Y. p . brethren. I saw Mr. Frank in May r r ° e a attendance n delicacyns T y la o n l f c t o e m i b n ye cases asked)o last.' On the 17th Tway occupied in reading the affidavits filed in Chancery respecting him till the 19th. He then Came to myselfnextensiveiaDt trerßtot(. me, and I conversed with him for two hours. On the' 20th I saw him again, and conversed with him for about two hours in the morning. In the evening I saw him again fin about an hour. I was the more attentive. in my examination of him, because I observed a great variance 'in the medical opinions in his Case.: I waesnxious to touch on points that indicated- the state of his mind. The first point '1 endeavoured to ascertain was„,whether he was under controul, or a free agent when in the 'Addled. He stated, that Malcolm, hi:, attendant, had been Jilted as, a courier in con sequen C e o f hi s expreesing a wish to travel on the continent, and that /re leoked upon him in no other cepeCity. I they asked about his journey to Yarmouth, Hull, and Cambridge, and his conduct at those places. •He did net deny that he had acted wrong, and that he had sougLt the company ofloose women. He expressed much regret at it, but added, that his conduct at had been greatly ex aggerated.. . I asked him how he came to offer a medical gen. tlent'an sixpence for coming to see him and meking, up a pre scription'? Ile said he did not know he was a enedical main . He had Sent his bottle to a druggist, arid he was angry at being intliesed upon, having been in the habit of sending his bottle. I asked him whether the. alleged eriminalty of _Mrs. Frank was. founded on observations . of -hiss awry, or on the report of others ? He answered, e that froin his otisa observation he had no reason to suspect Mre. ; Frank, but his information - was - • derived from that of 1 Mr. Bellamy and Captain Main waring and others, and that fearing it true, be had given his consent t o th e sepa ration. I askedlineihow they had come together again ? lie told me he had written to Mrs. Frank to corneto Doncaster and meet him at the Weise of Mrs, Greaves, and that she did. I asked whether he had made any inquiry as to Mrs. Frank's guilt before Ire took her back ? He answered, that there had been much correspondenCe on the subject—that he had no proof of adultery, and that, finding that those who had given him the information, and whom he believed his friends were his enemies, he at once dischargedany suspicion of Mrs. Frank's guilt. I - asked why he thought Mr. Bellamy his enemy. He said that he did not discharge his duty as a trustee faithfully to him— that he had felled timber without his permission, and had never accounted for it—that he had sold land, and put the de posit in his own pocket; and he understood there was a bill in Chancery filed against Mr. Bellamy. I asked him if Mrs. Bellamy was authorisiid to break his drawers open, and take possession of his papers ? He said she was not, and that he was very angry on that, account. Having observed, from the evidence of Sir George Tuthill and Mr. Warburton, that Mr. Frank had got a notion that there existed a conspiracy against hint, which is a very common whim with lunatics. I was anx ious to know what he meant by conspiracy. lie said that he surely might well suspeeta 'conspiracy against him , when he found his two brothers-in-law and his two elder sons combined, and all his sisters except Elizabeth. I asked him if 'he was in the habit of checking his accounts. He said he was obliged to rely much on others, .cut that he was very particular to have re ceipts. I asked questions on agriculture and the management 'of his estate. Amongst others, I asked this question—if, dur ing depression of agriculture, he had lowered his rents. He said in many instances he had, but not all. I asked him in What proportion. He said 10, 15, and 20 per cent. He was trot particular in his knowled ge o f t h ese t hi ngs • h e l e f t t h em to his steward. I asked if he regulated the reduction of ,rent by prices of wheat? He said, in Yorkshire he did, in Norfolk not. Wheat was not the staple of Norfolk, 'but barley was. I asked him how he pared his time? He said, from defect of sight he could only read large print. 1 asked if he played cards or chess in the evening. He said he could not see well enough, and that he went to bed early. I think these were the chief topics that day. I riw him again last Wednesday evening— not between these times. I conversed with him half an hour. I particularly asked him if he was aware of the present pro ceeding. He was. I asked him if he was not relieved by the prospect of its coming to a crisis. He said he could not say he felt relieved—for that it was a fearful thing to appear before a jury. He observed upon the dryness of the season: it would affect the turnips in Norfolk, and he was afraid that the bar ley would be very light. I saw him again this morning. I touched upon some of the topics of my examination of luin in May. I found his memmory very retentive of . sane points_. others he did not recollect. Dr. Veitch was present. 'We jointly asked him the purport of the deed to which Dr. Veitch alluded in his evidence. He distinctly said it was to provide for younger children, who, in case of his death, would other wise ,be left to the kindness of their elder brother. This is all 1 remember. As to his soundness of mind, I should pre mise that he is of eccentric manners ; that his defect of sight is a great disadvantage to him. As far as I could ascertain from these eeaminations I and from all 1 have heard as evi dence in Court, though entertain no doubts of his insanity in 1817, yet I decidedly think that he is of perfectly sane mind. His eccentricity is such, that, together with his dimness of sight, it might lead a person less experienced in examining the state of the human mind to conclude that he was insane. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR.GENERAL.-.-4 forget what occurred as to the interception of his letters at thet office. My impression w as , th a t h e h a d h a d corr espondence with several persons before taking back his wife. He said that he had communicated with Mrs. Frank. I asked him, now I recollect, what opinion he had of Dr. Dickenson. He said lie had found Dr. Dickenson a more faithful steward than Mr. Bellamy—of course he had confidence in him. I had'read the character of Dr. Dickinson in the affidavits, and asked Mr. Frank what he knew of him. He sa id th a t Dr. Dickenson had. inherited property from his ,father, as he had heard, and had lent him money. I heard nothing of a bohd of 500/. givetx to : Dr. Dickinson. He did notbelieve the imputations of adultery against Dr. Dickenson. I did not ask him how' he ' came to let Dr. Dickenson live in the house after. He said that he was obliged to confide in his agent, on account of hii own want of light. , . _ - To questions by the COMMISSIONERS.-1 consider him as a man of sane mind. I must beg leave to decline any precise definition of unsoundness. My reason is, that I have heard the question put to medical men of great eminence over and over again, and I never heard one of them make the subject at all clearer. I have always declined, and always shall decline, therefore, attempting any definition of insanity in a Court of Justice. I am contented with the common term which the law adopts to define lunacy. I do not think him in that sense a man of unsound mind. I am ofopinion, that with the usual assistance enjoyed by men of his fortune, he might have been capable of managing his property. But he labours under an absolute de. feet of vision. He is engaged in great agricultural affairs, his estate is considerably embarrassed, and his domestic affairs greatly troubled. He is besides an eccentric, 1 may say also a very immoral man—he entertains peculiar opinions upon the subject of religion, and moreover he is a man of extraordinary indolence—he is one Of the most indolent men I ever knew. I cannot say that his indolence is owing to any morbid affection of his mind, or morbid disease of the body. I have seen the same sort of indolence in other men of fortune, who were not suspected by any of insanity. I really can form no opinion as to the cause of indolence in any man, In his case, I incline to the opinion 'that his indolence is not owing to unsoundness of mind. Owed the Jury made a request, that a message might be sent to the Lord Chancellor, to obtain leave for the Jury to examine Mr. Frank without 'any other parties being present. The reason given for this request was, that the Jury might be able freely to put any questions to the supposed lunatic, without being subject to the prying eyes of the Commissioners and Counsel. Sir George Williams strongly supported this proposition, and thought it would be an inf r i ngement on t h e rights and li berties of en English Jury if it were denied; which rights and liberties he was determined to support. " Air. Commissioner Primusiottr, wittvgreat deference to the Jury, would undertake to forward their request to the Lord Chancellor, with his own protest against the application', be= cause it was contrary to all precedent, and had been expressly refused in Lord Portsmouth's case. The Commissioners were there sworn to assist in an important investigation of evidence, and felt equally hound as the Jury-by their oaths. They 'were expected to be cognizant of all that was transacted in evidence, that they aright-duly inform the Lord Chancellor. 'They bad no wish to curtail. or qualify the examination of the Jury, who were, as they must know by the last examination, perfectly at liberty to put any question whatever to the subject of this inquiry. Neither could the Counsel of Mr. Frank he ex.' eluded. His duty required him to be present, and how - could' he safely address his observations to them on the scope of the evidence ' unless he knew what had taken pl ace a t their examination? Several of the Jury disowned any participation in the request. Sir. SPENCE, as counsel for Mr. Frank, orilyiwislied present that he might modify .the few observation which he hal to make by the occurrences of that examination. •It would in 'all probability make his remarks much more brief. Mr. Commissioner li r urrltAitsu had sat in many commit- ,t t of ~. of PRicv.. S r,vErgl-,!ENG:1;:. • sions of lunacy, and had never known an exeninationi,by.thz Jury exclusively to be allbwed. To say noth'ing of the e:gee tion cast upon the Coilithirtsioners by such' a requeit,s'ax if Illey were likely to put any hindrance in the way of anyt eyeful and impartial examination, the thing was wrong irrpriercille.'! Th: COmmissionera wore appCinted as a presiding Cow:, to-conduet an 'Evidence was brought forward and sifted pre sence of the Jury, who, let it be observed, were only a part or the Court ; and in order to se' isfy. their minds thcrougly, whet the Counsel on eithei side had done, the witnesses were r .;eir ed to satisfy any remaining doubps which• the Court 'or. the Jury might - retain. In the exercise of this authority, iT.e.tul4 not, surely, be 'east:Med that the Commissioners hatfloutect difficulty in ate way of making the inquiry most completi..; to the conviction of every. individual juror. But the evidence was matter for the express recognition of the Court; who were there to regulate the depositions by their authority,. who wouil have, after the Jury by their verdict Were discherg-d Of their trust, td return a particular account of the whole iriett/ry to the Keeper of the Great Seal. The request wits tie.,117 aberdontd. Another discussion took . pisce, upon an application either to have the affidavit of D r . %% confined by illness at Buxton, rt.ad, instead of his oral examination; or to adjourn the Court till - Monday, in expectation of his attendance. The Counsel for the Lunacy offered to admit the affidsvi. which was against tit Fm. The Court overruled both proe... tions. ' The first .was not at 111 adMissible; the adjournment could not be allowed, because there was no certainty of Dr. Willis's attendance. It was agreed at last that the should fill up the rest of the afternoon by the examination oz Mr. Frank, that Mr. Spente might have the advantage of t it, of the intervenin g S a bb at h , an d Of reading over t h e l ast exa - minations which he had condlicted himself, and therefore le d not the answers well digested in his memory, before stitrunine; up the evidence against the lunacy on Monday morning. Ajourned at; two o'clock. THE ARM Y. [From the LONDOI.I GAZETTE of Saturday.] War-Office, Aug. 5, 1821 • 6th Regiment of Dragoon Guards— e Lieut.
