OLD coußr.
(Before Mr Justice Crompton.)
MANSLAUGHTER BY A LUNATIC.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr Baron Bramwell.)
KEEPING AN UNLICENSED LUNATIC ASYLUM,

The Act of Parliament makes it a misdemeanour of
carrying on an unlicensed asylum for the reception of
lunatics or idiots.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
The counsel for the commissioners said they had no desire
to press for punishment, all they desired was the suppression
of the establishment.

Mr Baron Bramwell said that being the case, the better
course to pursue would be to direct the lady to enter into
her own recognisances to appear for judgment if necessary,
and in the meantime some arrangement agreeable to all
parties could be entered into.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Michael Moran was indicted for assaulting and robbing
an aged man named John li.ear.
The jury found him guilty, and several previous convic-
tions having been proved against him,
The Common Sergeant sentenced him to seven years'
penal servitude.

MEMOIRS OF MEYERBEER are already announced
in more than one quarter.

M. Eugene Godard has addressed a letter to the
journals to account for the non-performance cf his promise
to ascend in his balloon on Sunday. All his arrangements,
he Bal7B, had been made, when the positive order of the
Mire rof the Interior, 'who feared further disturbances,
in erdioted the ascent.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day,

Peter Prederick Knight was placed at the bar to plead in
an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of Wm.
Harringdon.
It will be recollected that both prisoner and deceased were
inmates of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, and that death was
occasioned through an encounter between the two unfortu-
nate men.

Or Gibson, surgeon of Newgate, and another medical
gentleman, said they considered the prisoner to be in a state
of mind quite unfit to plead.
The learned Judge said, that being the case, he should
order him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.

Mrs Sophia Leander surrendered to an indictment pre-
ferred against her by the Commissioners of Lunacy with
keeping an unlicensed house for the reception of lunatics.
The defendant, it appeared, was the proprietor of an
establishment called Zion House, Hackney, and it having
come to the knowledge of the Commissioners in Lunacy,
they sent Dr Christie, the proprietor of a licensed establish-
ment, to examine and report upon the facts of the case.
The doctor informed the Commissioners that he examined
six persons, who all exhibited undoubted evidence of dis-
eased mind, some of them, in fact, bordering on idiotcy.
There were in addition between 70 and 80 other patients all
subject to delirium ; but it was alleged that the establish-
ment was not a lunatic asylum, but a charitable institution
founded mainly for the safe custody and treatment of per-
sons suffering from temporary idiotcy or unsoundness of
intellect.

Serjeant Ballantine addressed the jury for the defendant.
Mr Baron Bramwell summed up the evidence, and said;
the question of the jury to decide was aye or no—had the
defendant contravened the provisions of a very salutary Act
of Parliament, which was calculated, at the same time, to
protect the helpless and those who undertook their care and
custody.
