A SENSIBLE MADMAN.—In the discussion UPI
lunacy and criminal responsibility in the
Science Congress on Tuesday, Lcrd Brougham related 1--
anecdote to show that it was a mistake to suppose that
sane persons were not amenable to deterrent motives.
,„n its
Tooke was sitting in a room by himself one day, wiu—rid,
rushed a lunatic flourishing a large-bladed knife in /lis 11°, -
-e
The lunatic said, " You are Mr Horne Tooke, are you 0°"
"Yes," was the reply. " Then," said the lunatic, I 110 ti
soon put an end to you." Herne Tooke answered, 6` If j
do you will suffer for it." "Oh I" said the madmall,
came out of Dr Shipton's asylum t'other day, and they en.
punish me." Home Tooke rejoined, with great tacel
" Then, I suppose you don't know that a law was Flr,
only t'other day saying that all lunatics should be baugetly
" No, I didn't know that," responded the madman, 'nets, of
throwing down the knife in a tremor, and slinking 0/1
the room.—(Laughter.)
HEALTH OF TOWNS ACT.—At a meeting of °gad
Portsmouth Town Council, acting as the local 13°9.fit
of Health ander the provisions of the Local Govero74
Act, recently adopted in that borough, a report Was reale
from the Drainage Committee, recommending that 0,
plan for the complete drainage of the whole borough 13,r1,0
posed by Mr Lewis Angell, C.E., the engineer to be
Board, and approved by Mr Hawksbaw, C.E.O should.
carried out without delay. Mr Alderman Garrington 10'0
posed, and Mr Councillor Hannam seconded, the adoPtiout
of the report, and the resolution was carried with c)hzitit
three dissentients. The estimated cost is £lOO,OOO,
the actual cost will in all probability considerably el#
that amount.
