THE PHRENOLOGICAL DEVE-
LOPMENT of the MURDERER WILSON.
From the attention which has lately been drawn
to the phrenological developments of great criminals,
it might have been readily anticipated that snore
than one application would be made to the proper
authorities for permission to take a cast from the
head of Gleeson Wilson, who was executed at Kirk-
dale, on Saturday week, for the murder of Mrs.
lienrichson and her two children, at Liverpool,
in March last, Although, however, several applica-
tions were made, Mr. William Bally, of this town,
was the only person permitted to take a cast, which
we were last week favoured with an opportunity of
inspecting, at his gallery in King-street. Dr. Spurs-
heim, in his works, states that, to constitute a tho-
roughly wicked and badly disposed person, it is ne-
cessary that the individual should have large organs
of acquisitiveness, amativeness, combativeness,
destructiveness, self-esteem, firmness, and secre-
tiveness, with conscientiousness, veneration, bene-
volence, and ideality small. The same eminent
phrenologist also states that these organs, com-
bined with love of approbation, would giveo a
character at once wicked and tyrannical.

upon the whole would be,
Mr. Bally states, to combine in a person thus
endowed the cunning of the fox, and the
and ruthless passion of the
hy sena. The circumference of the head, round
the base of the brain, is twenty-two and three-
quarter inches. We may mention, in conclusion,
teat the organ giving love of life is very small in
Wilson's head, which would account for the ob-
duracy, insensibility, and indifference to his fate
which he has exhibited. We cannot help re-
marking that this case furnishes a striking Mug-
trution of the advantages that would be conferred
by the general diffusion of even the most ele-
mentary phrenological knowledge. With such a
knowledge (supposing common prudence were exer-
cised) it would have been utterly impossible for any
person to have placed the slightest trust or confidence,
or admitted as the inmate of his house, a man who
must have been at once seen to have been a prey to
impulses of the worst description, without the slight-
est admixture of any higher or controlling principle.
Wilson's bead may be seen at Mr. Bally's, King-
street, where also copies of it may be obtained,—
