THE LUNACY COMMISSION ON

(Gatlaud from rollirdsrs Esprait.)

Dr. Alemader Jam eatbusload had seen Mr. Rock on
May 10 said Jams 9. Oa the Bret manioc he refused to
Wes Into eanvenation with a ensn. Told him on the
mama masks that there wire diftrsaars of opinion with
regard to his cams. On the one side there was Mr. Fisher,
and on the other there were Mrs. Ruck and Mr. Williams.
Told him that ha (witness) looked on the OW in the light of
a tragedy ; and he then said " I will tell you my story."
Mr. Rack ammdMgly commenced en amount of his coach
journey with Mr. Bailey, whom he called Mr. pock; sad
he afterwards detailed the other (Minikes whiskbed bees
deposed to by previous witnesses. Had no doubt that Mr.
Rock was of unsound mind. Agreed with Dr. Craftily that
though be had never actually attempted to oomrait an act of
violenoe, he was not the less dangerous. An insane
conversed with on the subject of his delusitms, wouldgeneallp
bring out the delusions ; but sometimes he would deny that
be had ever said anything of the kind. Did set thick Mr.
Rack had recovered. Thought so from denials he had yen

of the Also symptoms of mania. Orestes tore his.—Orestie

monest symptoms of madman Thought it paribis that
intemperance had had something to do with Yes. Rack's
lunacy. Mania from intempsrenoe way with the exception
of puerperal mania, one of the most mashie forms of lunacy,
but the most subject to relapse. Cams of madame from
drinking were vary soon cured. A greet number of awe

Mr. leamo—That is not an answer.
Wintaes—l think It would have been better If the %nighty
had taken place moiler.
Re-rtamined by Mr. H. Chambers—Mooned% House is a
firm-rate asylum. Thought that nothing but such an ia-
quiry ue this would have satisfied Mr. Ruck's mind ; for he
said ha wished to bring the matter before a jury.
Dr. Forbes Winslow visited Ike alleged Lozano on the 9th
of May and las dtk of J. It was a long while, perhaps
the bast pert dna hoer, boihr• he would talk about hinted..

Yr. Bedard Ballantyne then summed up the evidence for

had sow to detersuble was, not whether Mr. 'tuck had at

He thought It and to evident to the jury that the taint of

Si., wad two for Si.), and • trifle besides. Bha woe sure it
ins all soh when she went to sleep, but when she awoke the
beg wee goes. The prisoner had been into her room while
she wee gawp.
The latter &et was proved by a daughter of the prance-
trio, who saw her there, and noticed that she left directly
after.

Louisa Macdonald, a child about 12 or 13, said she lived at
40, Granby-street, Lambeth, and had known the prisoner
some time as a friend. About the time in question she
called one day on waness and showed her " heaps " of
limey, telling her that she saw a drunken old woman hide a
beg in a dustbole, and that she went afterwards and took It
out. The priaoner then counted out a lot of sovereigns
(witness could not count, and therefore was unable to say
how many), and abe told her that there was a 101. ROW
among the contents of the beg, but she tore it up. A day or
two after this witness went out with prisoner, and they
bought some clothes with some of the money. The next day
' she came again and asked witness to hide the purse and the
rest of the money, and witness accordingly put it into the water-
closet; but directly prisoner was gone witness went and told I
bee father all about it, and showed him where the puree was.
Her father immediately called in a policemen, and would not
touch the purse till the officer came, and then he (the police-
man) took possession of it. It contained thirteen sovereigns.
The Police-inspector said this was true. The father of
last witness had acted very honestly in the matter.
The prisoner said she picked the beg up in the street one
day. She never took it from prosecutrlx's neck, and was not
in her room that night at all. She tore up a 101. note, and
threw the pieces away.
Mr. Henry said the proescuttlx had brought this trouble
on herself by getting drunk, and by her folly in carrying
so much money about, instead of putting it in the savings'
bank.
Remanded for further examination.

LAMBETH.
lama Page and Thomas Amos, notorious thieves, were
finally examined before Mr. Elliott on a charge of steeling a
timepiece, of the value of 31. 10e., the property of Mr. Henry

well, and saw him tried at the Newington Sessions in De-
cember last, for steeling cost, when he was sentencedi to

the Hon. G. C. Norton (who officiated for Mr. Yardley), and
applied for a summons against police constable 104 H, for
sinsulting his son, a boy aged 14.
Mr. Norton—The usual course iv, when a police constable

Mr. Norton—Very well, then, I will hear the application.
A boy then got into the wittier-box, and said he was

ceded him bad a pass, end on a polioe-constable, ISt H, ask-

humbug, struck him on the cheek, and knocked him down.
He fell upon the guns and wee much hurt.
Mr. Norton—Take your summons.
The father of the boy said he did not know the name of the
