Werbutton's bonsecat Bestow, where the melt-
insewu paid. Since that time, be has lost a watch
worth forty guineas, which, it is supposed, be has
'destroyed.
This statement. was proved by Har►y Adkins,
Mr. Hazard, the landlord of the Brown-Bear public-
house, Bow-street, and Adkins, the Aker.
Mr. Warburton. his keeper, and the Doctor who
attended him, proved, that when he went to Mr.
Warburteat's bootie, he had a raging mad fever,
which has since got such possession of his constitu-
tion. that there is no prospect of Ins getting better.
Upon this evidence. Mr. SAY sits put the ques-
tion to the Jury, to determine, whether, hum the
conduct of Mr. Bell, while he was at the Brown-
Bear publie-house, they considered him insane or
nut? which they determined by a sheer of hands
unanimously. •
They also determined, unanimously, in &similar
intuitive, that he proved his insauity, by returning
voluntarily to Mr. Warburton's house. And they
determined unanimously a third question, viz. that
he was not now capable of managing his husinew.
The unfertonote gentletnati was present, end ap-
peared very composed ; he seemed perfectly sen-
sible of wlett was doing. No person who did not
know the circumstances. would hare suspected he
was deranged.
