S. Petersburgh, and thence
overland, yachts and all, to Turkey. He also said he had
been beaten for seven years by five men, for which be had
brought actions, and recovered 100,0001. from each of the five.
He was decidedly of unsound mind, and witness believed it
had been chiefly impaired by a fall from his horse. Dr. Wm.
Maddox Bush. of Kensington House, and Dr. Philp, of Gros-
venor-street, gave testimony to a similar effect. It was un-
derstood that his mind was first impaired by the receipt of
a fortune of 17,0001., left by his late father. The ury re-
; turned a verdict, dating the unsoundness of mind from the
14th July, 1840.
