BOW IS DAY.

--.0.--.
Dr. George Dawson, of Slough, was brought before
Mr. HALL, upon a warrant which had been gi anted
at the instance of his son, charged with making ukle et
certain language respecting, her Majesty, whereby a
breach of the peace was apprehended to be about to
be committed.
The examiDation was strictly private, but it appeared,'
from the account given by Partridge, a constable of
the A division who apprehended the defendant in the
City, that his conduct for some time back has been
such as to lead to the supposition that be was labouring
under delusions respecting
the Iparrioge of the Queen ;
and it also appeared, from the dioovery of some let-
ters, written in the defendant's hando.riting, and which
were directed to several members of the Royal Faro
that he required to be kept under some resOltint.
After a considerable time had elapsed in I`..aking the
evidence of the defendant's son and the policeroan, li
was removed in the custody of the latter to Clerkeilwell

orison.
