. Got him out of the carriage and called a cab for
him, when he struck witness on the face.
D. Dumtry, night porter at Morley's Hotel,
stated that Lord Kingston came to the hotel one
i night in September and ordered tea, and when
asked to pay scribbled something on paper which
was illegible. He went out and returned in a cab.
He sat in the coffee-room and scribbled on bits of
paper which he sent out to the cabman in payment
of his fare. He smelt so badly that his request to
sleep there was refused. A policeman was called
in, and ultimately he was prevailed on to leave.
Mr. Robert Richie, M.D., stated that he had
noticed a decided change in the earl since 1849. He
was now decidedly insane. Witness was a relation
of the earl by marriage. Visited him at the asylum
at Denbigh, when he appeared comfortable. Lord
Kingston spoke of the asylum as "the what d'ye
call it place," but expressed no wish to leave it.
The witness further proceeded to speak of the earl's
filthy habits as having arisen since his mind had
become affected, his previous habits having been
particularly cleanly. In conversation at the asylum
the earl charged various distinguished persons,
whom witness knew to be of irreproachable charac-
ter, with unnatural crimes, and told a story of meet-
ing a Life Guardsman in a urinal at St. James's
who made improper overtures to him, and told him
that he was on intimate terms with certain noble-
men in Dublin whom he visited. In further exa-
mination the witness said he had heard that Lord
Kingston had once been charged with an unnatural
offence, but did not know that the person who had
brought the charge—a man of infamous character
—had been transported.
Dr. Banks, visiting physician to the Richmond
Asylum, said he had devoted much attention to
mental disease. Saw Lord Kingston for the first
time in October last by the invitation of one of his
relatives, at the Denbigh Asylum. Was introduced
by Dr. ones, and told Lord Kingston his name and
that he was a physician, Lord Kingston imme-
diately proceeded to talk about his affairs as though
witness had been an old friend, and spoke of persona
by name in a strange manner.
By the Master—Had two interviews with Lord
Kingston, the last of which was in November and
lasted two or three hours. Had no doubt that he
is a person of unsound mind and incapable of con-
ducting his affairs. His disease is delusional
insanity. It was not a case of softening of the
brain, but a state verging into demention.
By Mr. M. Chambers—lt was not a case in which
there was any prospect of recovery. He might
possibly get better, but was more likely to become
worse. The great idea in his mind was to speak
evil of every person except one or two, charging
them with crimes and misdemeanours of a most
offensive nature. He spoke of one person of high.
character who within three weeks of his marriage
had slept with two prostitutes.
By Mr. D. Seymour—Did not know that in that
case steps had been taken in the Divorce Court to
procure a dissolution of the marriage. If such were
the fact, it would not alter his view of the sanity
of Lord Kingston. Told him he visited him at the
request of certain members of his family. Lord
Kingston said his family wanted him to marry, and
introduced him to a lady who was to bring him
£12,000 a year, but when he saw her he was dis-
gusted with her. Had no doubt that Lord King-
ston was decidedly insane. Could not say his
recovery was impossible, but it was very improbable,
seeing that there was a hereditary taint of insanity
in his family, his father having been declared a
lunatic.

By the Master—Should say Lord Kingston was
not in a fit state to make a will, contract marriage, to
manage his own affairs, or to perform any legal act.
The inquiry was then adjourned.
