a patient, by elimbiar the wall. He also said she wore a
portion of the clothes belonging to the asylum, and Item
other remarks that she made Inspector Hari! and he (Ser-
geant Eastlake) were induced to believe her statement to
be correct. According to the directions of Inspector
Ilavd, he obtained a cab and at once removed her to
lianwell asylum, where ho ascertained that she was not
!maw'', and that her Altement was an entire fabrication. Ito
then brought her back to Kt aniugton, and she was
adulated into the workhause as a casual pauper. She re-
mained in the workhense unt:l Tuesday, and that morning
she had been thsehlrged, us she did not belong to the

unfortunate creature, as she was entirdy destitute. Ile had
found that she had been the inmate of several workhouses
in Landon, and a'so of several lunatic asylums.
Mr. Beailon remarked, that the woman ought to have
been brought before him in a prn:icr manner, and she then
would be passed to the sulk a in the ordinary way. The
magistrate then asked the unfortunate woman where she
came from, and she replied 0: tt the had been an inmate of
the ;lent Lunatic Asylum, aim that her head had been very

woman—l am the daughter of William the Fourth.
The money was left for me, and Prince Albert has used it
for hi.; own norpo.f.s.
Mr. 13eadon said he was qu!te satisfied the woman was
innate. If Mr. Madden, the re'l..ring oftle(r of
IC naing-
tcn, had asked her any qu,..,tieh,, he would also have been
eC,ded that she was.

Sergeant Eastland s::id she was the same petam who
threw herself in the water atm, of the ba.ins at Tratalrar-
,ainare a short time since, and after she had jumped in ahe
caVol nut for assignee.

Mr. lteadon nen nil•ered the eireuntstance, and said he
al surprised Mr. Madden had not brought her before him
as a destitute lunatic, to be plssed to one of the asylums.
She had been found in the parish destitute, aril was clearly
of an insane mind. He supposed the, parish authorities
widtcd her to be dealt with by some other parish, io order
that they should net have the trouble and expense of pass-
ing her. Such a course of conduct Wai not very creditable.
The magistrate then directed Sergeant Eastland to take the
woman before Mr. Maddm, at Kendogtan, and have her
properly brought h,f,,r, him, in order that sho might be
admitted into ono of the asylums.
