FATAL 'EFFECTS OF FANATICISM.

At the Launceston Assizes, on Thursday last,
.
Emma George, a young woman, 19 years of age, was indicted
for the murder of her brother, a child seven years of age, by
hanging him with a handkerchief. We briefly. mentioned the
circumstances Of this distressing case at the time that it occurred,.
which were simply these :—The unhappy young woman had
been in the habit of attending the meetings of ignorant method-
istical Preachers,' from whose fanatical precepts she conceived
the notion that it behoved her to avoid the evils of this life by
speedy death. Unwilling, however, to commit suicide; she
determined upon the horrible expedient of murdering her
mother, but afterwards • changed her resolution into that of
hanging her infant brother, under the double impression, that
whilst she sent his soul to heaven, she should herself be put to
death for the commission of that crime. After she had com-
mitted the horrid deed, she became frantic, seized a large knife,
and-would have cut her own.throat, bad she not been prevented
by a neighbour .who had just called -in, declaring that she was
determined to go to heaven with her brother.
The evidence adduced with respect to the practices at the
Meeting are too revolting to reason to be. detailed.
The prisoner did not wish to say any thing in her defence.
Mrs. George, the mother of the girl said,-" My daughter
attended ',Methodist Meeting at ftedroth tbr about seven
weeks before the death of my boy ; she also attended the Revi-
val ; I have fetchad her home from-the Revival. I went for
her one night, abeut half-past ten o'clock, she having been
there from two o'clock in the day. On going to the chapel, I
found it extremely crowded. My daughter caught a sight of me,
and immediately she lifted up both her arms, as if she was go- I
ing to fly to the top of the room, and called on her dear mother
and father to pray to the Lord to help them, for that they
I .could not see the danger they were.in. I cot her out of .the,
meeting as soon as I could, but she hadlost her cloak, bonnet,
' hankereldif, and Pattens, and was extremely disordered in
-her dress. She had 'been moving from one part of the meet-
' ing to the other, and, in her unbounded zeal, had dropped
her clothes, and they were trodden under foot. My. daughter's
conduct, after attending the Revival, was quite.different to
what.it had usually been. This was about. seven weeks _be-,
' fore the -dreadful act was done. On another occasion, she
came home praying in a horrible manner for the conversion of
her father and mother.
The cot/ aae—Explain what you mean by praying in a horri-
ble manner mean violently and outrageously agitated,—
From-the commencement of the Revival.she never missed but
one meeting. She .also attended prayer meetings and class
sieetings. Before the death of my son, Lapprehended my
. daughter would do, me .sotne violence. On the Monday pre-
ceding, she came house and sat by the fire in a melancholy
• way, and said " Mother, I am going out of my raind."
spokea few words to pacify her, and she went to bed. The
next night she said she was better, but she appeared very low.
—On Wednesday night, on coming home, she said to me,

chief to herself, me, or the family.
At the close of the evidence the unhappy young woman,
who had throughout the trial been too ill .to pay much attention
to what had beempassing, fainted, and was carried into the air
in strong convulsions, by five or six men. In the street 'her.
distressing screams were heard for nearly a quarter of a hour,
befo
Mre she could again be brought into Court. f
Mr. Justice Buitnoutan said there was no question but that
the young woman at the bar was the causeof her brother's death,
but it would be for the Jury to consider, whether when she
committed that act she was in a state of mind eapable of distin-
guishing right from wrong, and if they should be of opinion
that she did it in a moment when the imbecility of- her mind
was so great that she could not make that distinction, then the
offence did not amount to wilful murder. It would not; how-
ever, be sufficient to acquit her of that crime, by supposing that
she acted under a _momentary religious frenzy that did not
totally occasion such defect in her mind, as • to deprive her of
all reason. Upon looking at the facts given in evidence, it was
almost impossible to conceive that the prisoner could:be other-
wise than insane when she determined on the murder of. her
own brother, as the means of getting to heaven. The Al-
mighty had expressly declared, that murder and suicide
were two of the highest crimes that called for his vengeance;
but such- was the delusion this young woman had laboured tin-
der, that she first murdered her brother and then contemplated
self-destruction, conceiving that by- committing these high of-
fences, she should be securing away to-Heaven. It appeared'
that this young female had been in the habit of attending reli-
gious meetings, as they were called, where the .wildest acid most
extravagant excitements were used that could possibly ope.;
rate on the minds of the -weak, and lead them from a just
sense of the importance and duties of religion. his Lordship
knew nothing of the particular sect of persons that had been,
spoken of to-day, and God forbid that he should be conceived
as wishing to restrain any person from following those religious
customs which were most conformable to the conscience, but
he did conceive that the general benefit of society should be
attended to, and therefore-he could not but consider:that the
doctrines and mode of worshiplwhich inculcated the pernicious
principles this young woman had acted upon were injurious to
society, and ought to be suppressed. He therefore guarded
-the pastors of those congregations against continuing in those.
practices, as being derogatory to true religion, and dangerous
to the safety of the community. His Lordship thought there
were many circumstances in- the case which decidedly spewed
the girl to have 'been of an /irregular mind when
,she did the
act. Her mind, from mistaken impressions, produced by reli-
gious' excitations, had conceived that she must commit a mur-
der before she could get to-Heaven, and at one time she had
marked out her own mother as the object who was tti be devoted
to her phrenzy ; at another time, children she 'had never seen
before, were to fall her victim ; and lastly, her brother un-
happily being in her power, she- murdered him in the same
absence of malice, as she would-have done to 'any other in-
dividual. If .the Jury were of opinion that the child lost. his
life while 'she was in a state of insanity, they would return
n verdict of Not Guilty on that. ground, and his Majesty's
Government -would then protect her till -she was found to he
.sufficiently restored to her reason to be returned to her friends.
The Jury returned -a verdict of Not' G tally, believing her to
be insane at the time. -
The Court ordered her to be detained in custody, but assured
her friends she would. not be kept long.from them. ,
