" Neirgate, June 27, 1866.
uaedieneste the intilenetios of the sitting magi's-
kits, Thave the honour to acetify that having Most care-
fully examined Mods Longman sines her admission into
the poi, on thelBth inek , with the view to secertein the
muse of her mind, it le my opinion that on one rub-
met her mind is unsound. She is under the be-
lief that her mother is (dewy endeavouring to
jareber ; that•wbether near home or many miles re-
moved from home, in some way which she is suite unable
to explain she is continually exercising some Injurious in-
gumuse. For this belief there appears to be no foundstion,
eed the only conclusion at which one can reesonably arrive
is that she is relieving under a delusion.
" J. R. GIBSON, M.R.C.S., &a"
Alderman Hecht sailed the father if there was any
&aeon to account for this unhappy delusion.
Mr. Longman said there were natural causes which
were curable by medical treatment.
Alderman Mechi said it was a most lamentable ease, and
he hardly knew what was best to be done with her. He
thought the best thing he could do would be to commit her
for trial, and then the judges would And some means of
having her taken mire of until her mental and bodily
health was restored.
Mr. Longman asked the worthy aldermen to let her go to
Australia by the vessel that weld sail on the 10th of July,
se all th;spere were signed, her passer) taken, and the
money
Alderman Mechi said be was afraid to let her go from
under control. He did not consider her own life or the
lives of othets safe under her present state of mind.
In the interests of the public be must have
the poor young woman taken are of until the state of her
mental and bodily health was so far improved as to render
it rafts to trait her to the care of her friends. He must
commit her for trial.
The prisoner after being cautioned said she had nothing
to say but that she would berfectly safe if sent away to
Australia, for she bad no prejupedice against anyone but her
mother.
The prisoner was then orstentitted ter trial.

COMING TO TOWN TO =JOY HIMSELF.
Walter Bertecod, a boy of about 12 years of age, was
charged upon hie own confession with stealing 61. in
money and a silver watch from his aunt, with whom he
had been living at Southampton.
Police-constable Groves, 83 F, stated that his attention
was called last night to the prisoner, who was
sitting on a door-step in the Piazza, Covent-garden, crying.
Two gentlemen asked him what was the matter, and he
said that he was quite destitute, and that he had no
father or mother, no home to go to, and nothing to eat.
The gentlemen walked to the station with him, and after
saying they hoped something would be done for him,
went away. Witness then questioned him as to his
name, &c. He gave several names, and made inconsistent
statements. Witness then said he must lock him up, upon
which )risoner exclaimed," Well, I will tell you the whole
truth. He then gave his real name, and stated that his
father and mother were both dead, the former having been
run over by a goods van in December Lat. His aunt, who
lives at Southampton, then took him to live with her. On
one occasion he robbed her of half a sovereign, and she
forgave him. About three weeks back she went out to
market, leaving him at home. Whilst she was gone he broke
open her box, and stole 61. in money and a silver watch.
He then came up by the next train to London
to enjoy himself in town. He soon fell in with
a gentleman who proved to be a very pleasant companion,
and who took him about seeing life in the metropolis. They
breakfasted, dined, supped, and lodged together (always at
the prisoner's expense), and in short his friend never left
him till every farthing of the 6/. was spent. He then
offered to take the watch to a friend of his, who would
buy it. Prisoner entrusted him with the watch, and he
went away for shout half-an-hour, prisoner waiting
for him in Covent-garden Market. On his return
he gave the prisoner 3s. 63., saying that was all
he couldget for the watch. He remained with prisoner till
that also was spent, when he disappeared, and prisoner
never saw any more of him. Upon this statement witness
locked the prisoner up.
Sir Thomas Henry remanded the prisoner, to give time
for the police to communicate with the prisoner's aunt. at
Southampton, with a view to his committal to a refor-
matory.

THE STATE OF THE WORKHOUSE INFIRMARIES.

THE POOR-LAW INQUIRY AT PADDINGTON.
(TMS: DAY). tii
This forenoon the inquiry into the charges pre- It,
tarred against the management of the sick wards of the 17,..,
Paddington-workhouse was resumed by Mr. nautili, C.B. le
Mr. M. Bere, banister, appeared on the part of the at,
guardians, and Mr. Ernest Hart represented the A/soda- 9
tion for the Improvement of Workhouse Infirmaries. s2st.
Mr. Bere proposed to call Mr. Bennett, a guardian.
Mr. Hart said he had a number of witnesses still to call, 88,t'
and he should wish it to be understood that he reserved' Eli
the right to call them if Mr. Bete examined his witnesses e
at this stage. St.
The Commissioner said that when he had heard sufficient ils-
evidence to enable him to make his re to to the Poor-law St
Board he should say so, and then no further evidence 24
would be necessary. Mr. Hart's corroborative evidence st.
might not be required. to
Mr. John Bennett ,a sleeping partnerin a shipping house, to
deposed that he had been a guardian for five years, and
having his time at his own disposal, he devoted nearly all
of it to the duties of governor of many hospitals, and sys-
tematically visited them. He also particularly looked
after the infirmaries of the Paddington Workhouse. He ,
spoke to the patients and heard their complaints about
the meat being a little too fat, too lean, Sc., and had them
redressed. The master never interfered when ho spoke
to patients. Never heard any complaints of cruelty. j,
By theCommissioner—Some officials always accompanied -'
the guardians on the Friday visitation, for they bad no keys. 1 ,
It would be improper at times to enter the wards with- B
out introduction, but the master did not interfere. The
quantity of wine and spirits used was so great that it was
necessary to bring the subject before the board.
The Commissioner—Who brought it before the board'
Witness—The master.
The Commissioner—Was the object to procure a dimi-
nution of the quantity of stimulants ordered ?
The witness said that was not the object. The subject
was merely brought before the board to explain why so
large a quantity had to be ordered for the workhouse.
By Mr. Bere—The pauper nurses were so efficient
that he was sometimes glad enough to get one for
other institutions. For one case a pauper nurse got
for the Lock Hospital, behaved so well that she got a
good situation. In choosing paid nurses a larger proportion
were found more inefficient than among pauper nurses.
Lunatic patients were sometimes kept in the workhouse
for a few days until a magistrate's order for their removal
to the asylum could be obtained. There was only the
room next 79 ward and two padded rooms to keep them
in. The padded rooms ware constructed in concurrence
with the Pour-law Board.
The Commissioner said that, although the Poor-law
Board caused padded rooms to be built for emergencies,
yet lunatics were not to be kept in the house.
Mr. Bennett said that he knew that, and there were
about seventy lunatics belonging to the workhouses in
Hanwell Asylum. The infirmaries were much worse off
than an hoepital in one respect. If a person was found to
be incurable in St. Mary's Hospital, the case was sent to
Paddington workhouse, no matter how bad it might be,
and there it had to be dealt with.
[The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.l

CLERKENWELL.
THE LATE SEIZURE OF COUNTERFEIT COIN.
Robert Burgess, an old man, well known to the police,
was charged with having in his possession three counter-
feit florins and one counterfeit shilling, with intent to
circulate the same in the parish of Hackney.
Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, defended.
The facts of this case have already been reported. It
will be remembered that Mr. Brennan, the Mint agent, of
39, Radnor-street, St. Luke's, accompanied by inspectors
Fyfe, Landon, and Bush, went to the prisoner's house
with a search warrant and found the counterfeit coin
mentioned in the charge. With the prisoner were appre-
hended three others, but they were discharged. The
prisoner has before been convicted of uttering counter-
feit coin.
Inspector Langdon asked for a remand as he should be
able to bring charges of obtaining goods by false pretences
against the prisoner.
Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner on the charge of
obtaining goods by false pretences, and committed him on
the charge of having the counterfeit coin in his possession.
THE FEVER DENS OF CLEREEN WELL.
Jan Sealthorpe, coffee-house keeper, of 8, Clerkenwell-
green, was summoned by Inakiector Turner, of the Lodging-
house department, for having his house in a dirty state
and receiving lodgers, he not having a license to do so.
James Hughesman, 47 A, inspecting sergeant of common
lodging houses, stated that he visited the defendant's
shop and found the floors, passages, closet, and. the beds
and bedding in a most filthy state. He had nine lodgers,
eight of them paying 2e. Gd. per week. In November
last the defendant was fined 40s. and costs for a similar
offence.
Mr. DrEynconrt fined the defendant 40a. and nests.
Mary Bryan, of 12, Union-court, Holborn, was fined ss.
and costs, for receiving three lodgers, each paying 2s. per
week. Herself, sister, and girl all slept in one bed in a
small room adjoining that in which the lodgers were.
There were two or three other cases of the same kind.
LAMBETH.
BURGLARY ANI' ROBBERY.
nolitaS Stone, 19, was finally examined before the Hon.
G. C. Norton, on a charge of breaking into the house of
Mr. John Lindfield, the Black Prince public-house, Wel-
worth-road.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that on the
morning of Sunday last, between the hours of 1 and
2 o'clock, the prisoner was observed on the top
of a building in Black Prince-court, adjoining the
premises of the prosecutor, endeavouring to conceal him-
self behind a chimney. He was pointed out to Pollee-
constable 97 I', who called to him to oome down, and he
did so. He accounted for being on the roof by saying that
a friend of hie had thrown his cap on the building, and he
went there to get it. On the roof being examined, how-
ever, a box, which had been taken from a second-floor
room in the house of Mr. Lindlield, the prosecutor, was
found there.
Mrs. Lindfield identified the box and its contents, and
said that for some time before the robbery the prisoner bad
been to her house, and on the night of the robbery he was
there up to 12 o'clock.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to the offence, and was sen-
tenced to six months' hard labour.

AN OMNIBUS CONDUCTOR DYING IN HARNESS.

Dr. Lankeater held an inquest inquest last evening at
the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, on the body of
Alfred Sheppard, 33 years of age, a conductor, in the
service of the London General Omnibus Company, who fell
from au omnibus while in ill-health, the request for a
holiday having been refused.
Charles Sheppard, a gentleman's servant at Streatham,
said the deceased was his brother. Having heard that he
was to have a holiday on account of ill-health, witness
came up from Streatham on Sunday to see hint. He had
complained for a fortnight of not being well, and
had asked for a rest. He had expected to be
off on the Sunday, but the holiday was not
granted. Three years ago he hail fits. At 2 o'clock
on Sunday afternoon last witness was on the omnibus and
saw his brother kicking in the road. Being insensible lie
The
conveyed to the hospital. He died on Tuesday morning.
The Coroner remarked that this was something like
working to death.
Mr. John D. Hill, resident surgeon, deposed to the
admission of deceased at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
lie was in a state of insensibility and had a succession of
fits. There was a wound on the forehead. He got worse
and died from the effect of serous apoplexy.
By the Coroner—The request for a rest ought to have
been granted. In his (Mr. Hill's) opinion, he fell off the
omnibus in a lit.
Other evidence was then given, showing that deceased
had been in the company's service seven or eight years, and
that the omnibus ran from the Peacock at Islington to
Brompton. While at the Peacock deceased complained of
his head, and went into the yard and bathed it
in a tub of water. Shortly after passing the Angel the
driver was stopped and told, his conductor was in the road.
In the case of a man wanting a holiday he had to give
notice and the company provided a substitute. On Satur-
day deceased was told he could not have the holiday.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death ac-
celerated by the fall." They appended to their verdict a
resolution expressive of their dissatisfaction at the refusal
of the holiday to the deceased when he was evidently in a
condition unlit to perform his duties as conductor of an
omnibus.
The Coroner said he would send the resolution to the
General Omnibus Company.
