Caown oourr.—(Before Chief Baron Kelly.)
Maria Edward Shosand was charged with receiving
into his house, at Malvern Walla, a certain lanatio, without
an order and medical wildcats, as required by the sots
for the regulation of the cure and treatment of lunatics.
Mr. Boddicatane, Q C., led on behalf of the
Lunacy Commissioners, and Mr. Mahar& appeared for
the defence.

The defendant on being arraigned, bowers:, pleaded
MTh defendani la this sue, Mr. Edward Bbeward, Is a
well-known eargega recently practising at Upton-on-
Severn, but now el Malvern V. ells, us this county. In
the mouth of Mardi 1863, Ave years ago, he received into
his house the allelunaBc, who is now 53 years of age,
and he had remained under his care ever abate. 2001. a
year was paid to Kr. Sheward for maintenance and attend-
ance. It was not pretended by the defendant that him
house was a licensed asylum for the reception el hustles
bat several witnesses WWII is waiting to prose beyond
doubt that the patient was of unsound mind. It did not
appear, however that, although the defendant had im-
properly taken chirp of the patient, he had been treated
otherwise than in a prayer manner, as that he had not
been well fed and clothed.

Mr. Ruddketone, in stating the fee* printed out the
law applicable to the cue, and said the prosecution had
been instituted by direction of the Lunacy Commissioners,
uader the Act 8 and 9 Viet., up. 110, sea 90, which
enacted that no pen= should receive • lunatic to board
unleu in • hospital or lunatic uylum duly registered, or
unleu he was taken without charge. The Mauls or rela-
tions of • lunatic might take charge of • patient if
they derived no profit from the undertaking. The
defendant bad received the lunatic in question in 1863,
and his father paid Kr. Bbeward WM. • year. The
Lunacy Commissioner having been informed of she fact,

two aisistent oommiesioners—were sent down to Malvern
Wells, when they found the patient under the case of
Mr. Sheward. He (Mr. Huddleatonei was bound to admit,
however, that it was brought to the knowledge of the
commissioners that the patient had not been exposed to
an; improper treatment or restraint, nor was he neglected
or improperly fed. At the request of the Commissioners
in Lunacy he had that simple statement to make, and
would leave the matter in his lordship's hands to deal with
as he thought fit.
Mr. Richards, on behalf of the defendant, admitted that
his learned friend had fairly stated the facts of the cue.
He bad to add, however, that Mr. Sheward had from the
first never regarded the patient as a person of enound
mind, though after the medical evidence that was given
on the magisterial inquiry, be could not now maintain
that impression. He would point out that all the inves-
tigation that had taken place had shown that the patient
bad been properly and gently treated. One inducement
which had led the defendant to plead guilty was, that the
feelings of the relations of the rAient might be spared.
In conclusion, he submitted to his lordship that the jer
tice of the case would be answered by the defendant enter.
ins into recognizances. - -
His Lordship said it was gratifying to him not to have
to pass • sentence of punishment in this case. He then
ordered the defendant to enter into his own reeogniuness
in 1001.
