Mr. Henry Cole said—l am a clerk in the Treasury. 1

It was as follows :

careful I don't mistake you for the Secretary of State.
am in no way particular."

Other letters in the hands of the police referred to shoot-
ing Sir G. Grey, and having blood for supper. They were
all enclosed in the official envelopes of the Paymaster-
General's office, and addressed "J: H. Cole,
Treasury."
Mrs. Elizabeth Brown said—l reside at 16, Newcastle-
court. The prisoner lodged in our house. I have repeat,'
edly seen him writing. The letter just read is the letter I
saw in the prisoner's hand a few days ago.
Dr. Richard Paynter said—l am a surgeon, residing is
Brydges-street. I have examined the prisoner. He, telly
me Sir George Grey is shot, aLd that he (the prisoner) is
accused of having done it; but he says it was a soldier who
did the act. I am decidedly of opinion that he is a person
of unsound mind. He asked me who was suprome in this
country, Sir G. Grey or Dr. Milman. I told him Sir a.
Grey in some eases, and Dr. Milman in others.

Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—Do you hear what is saia
about you?

Prisoner—Yes. I know Dr. AU'man has forgiven met
and I have beenin the cathedral every day since. There's
no occasion, therefore, to go into the matter.

Mr. Henry—Do you mean to say Dr. Milman has
forgiven you for shooting Sir G. Grey.
Prisoner—Yes, he's got the power.
_ _ _

Mr. Paynter—He has various other delusions about the
attacking of Buckingham Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral.
Mr. Henry—lt appears that the man is clearly a lunatic.
Just let the female witness stand forward. Do you believe
the person to be a person of unsound mind from what you
have seen of him.

Mrs. Brown—Well, when I have spoken to him at home
he always appeared right enough, He always thanked 10
when I did anything for him, and appeared calm enough•
He pays 3d. a night for his bed, and when he has anything'
extra he always pays for it.
Mr. Henry—There appears to be not the slightest doubt
about his insanity.
Inspector Mackenzie--I have here, your worship, a nunl"
ber of ocher letters, all bearing evidence of having be ea
written by a person of unsound mind.
Mr. Henry —There is no doubt of it.
Prisoner—l tell you again Dr. Milman has forgiven rae
for what I have done.
Mr. Henry—l will send the prisoner for examination 11
the parish surgeon, and if he concurs with the opinion of
Dr. Paynter I will sign the usual order for his admission
to Hanwell Asylum.
The prisoner was then remanded.
