EXTRAORDINARY EiCAPE OP A I.I.;NATIC.—A lunatic,
named Samuel Bone, who has for some time been con-
fined in the County Asylum at Hayward's-heath, succee-
ded in effecting his escape under very determined circum-
stances. About midnight on Thursday last he succeeded
in secreting a towel in his room, which was at the top of
the asylum: he then hoisted to the roof, 12 feet from the
flooring, and opened the skylight, through which he con-
trived to get on to the top of the building ; he then
appears to have passed along the roof in a nude state, and
sliding down a piping, descended to the top of a high wall.
He than dropped into a gentleman's garden, and making
his way across a cemetery got out of sight At daybreak
his eecape was discovered. He WAS found in a hovel at
lAndfield the same morning, and was handed over to a
