Q. Can you state any probabfe time for his Ma-,
jisty's • ultimate recovery ?—A. No, I Cannot in-
deed ; 1' think the Kiit is very much in the same,
state that I saw him in the latter end of the year
1788, and the beginning of the year ing ; but it
varies so, there are so many fluctuations, that when
we see the King a little better, and going on a hula ,
better. fur_two or_three days, 'we are sanguine, and
if there comes a relapse, it throws 1.2.1 back again
there are such fluctuations, it is impossible to Bice
any positive and' decided opinion ; and indeed in
this case there is no dLtinitiYe time in the nature pf
the nnalaity, ; you can very seldom say men
have a Comitioti lever, atter the symptoms have been
fornird three .nr four days, 0114 e4c) foul] a p.rettf
po,t, judgment as.to• the dur:titiu of the disease ;..t

the time of recOvery, as in a fever .or Other ordinary
diseaies ?—A. J.ist so.

CI. Are you of opiiii..)n that that difficiilty is in-.
crea,ied by iMajk,•sry'l advanced age,- and by any',
other infirmity that lll3y have attaclied. to—his*Ma-
jeity ?—A. Kitis',s.is, a gee old:akv.k there is
su 4tiUch intrgrity of cifitiStitutiOn about
him, that I thick that that certainty,does not ope!-
rate opOn My mind ; and I believe nut. opoi.t. the
mind of any, so much as it would in the case of any
other peron.

whch the Lotd;Chancellor Went in
Q. Was the absence of the Physicians, tqion this
occasion, at the Physicians' own sur,-,g,tit,on, of It
the request of the Lord Chancelkit At the
Physicians' own sliggestion, that the Chinivcellor
should form his own opinion.
4. Did not the dUration of his-continuance de
pend upon the, opinion-of the Physicians En
tirety ;„ the stipulation; of the Pnysiciails. was, that
he Should see his Majesty for a quarter of an hour.
IQ— It was of Sir Henry lialforc's own motion;
that he proposed to the King to see the LOrd Chan••
cellor, and, having. so proposed to the King, he
communicated to. the other Physicians that he ha
so proposed,, and they after sornediscu,sion ccusentd.
ed to it ?—X. Yes.

B.ut it.WaS not_ first. of all. proposed to the
'Physicians as a. measure, by Sir Henry Hatford 1--
A. It bad been diktissed among us sothe time be-
fore, and Sir 'Henry. Haltbrd. at that time thought-
he saw- the King_ in such a siate we At
said if we_ had seen him we should have wished it:
there was no blame in the world altaOhed to fir
Henry Halfurd.

Q. When hilt Majesty's Physicians occa,ionallyt '
in their ref-JFts, describe his Majesty as ,batig,
better,, do they mean to confine thennietves,ek6l6-.
sly to l.is mentaidiorder, or to coinome viith
any conhiderations of his bodily state ;—A. To cox,-
blue them when they bay he is better, they 44C'ill
both.

fever, but the mental disorder, aggravated by. feverl
—At those tiles the King has had tover,•and it 144
perhaps been the most--prominent part of ktweer"
ordry; there have .been periods whell the King ,vOOl
very seriously ill withlever.

V tldrrw.

BAILLIE called in, and

examined.

Q. Acquaint the Committee whether the state o.
his Majesty's health is such as td render him i•ticaga-
ble ut coming in person to his Parliament, or of
attending to any kind of public business ?—A.
state of his Majesty's health is such as to preve
attending Parliament, or attending to any kind ,
public busii.ess.

Q. What are the hopes you entertain of his. M•l'
jesty recovery ?=—A. I- think it very probaule Lbar
ultimately the King will recover.

Q. Do you found the opinion, gis en in your :iv
sewer to the previous question,_ upon the pail; off :r,
symptoms of his Majesty's- disorder, or upon gell4'
rat experience in cases of the same- nature-;
both ?—A. -Not upon general' experience, -bit
the likeness that I understand the present'
position of his Majesty bears to the other thwe
dispositions of the same general character.
Q. In that particular; species of the disorder lit,
Majesty has fallen into, has it been found, horn rt.'
perience, that the greater number of persons so
let3ed have been cured ?—A. I really cannot give
very satisfactory answer to that question, iloto:M'Y,
experience of illy will, for that has been very
ed but I understand the greater number of c 4":
of that kind have recovered for the tune,
initr)any instances there are returns,o(fhe

tion in the same individual.
Q. Can you form any judgment, or probable (2'l'
jecture,. as to the duration ut Ins Majesty's
itess ? —A. . I can term no satisfactory conjecinr
all ; the only-ground of comparison is,. by- regard !at
the farmer illne*ses of his Majesty, and thA•tDiYi
be very deceitful; but that appears to be the
ground on which we can form any 'conjecture
respect to the. probable duration 01 his .Nlajelly

his Alairsty's disorder,.do you think it-wore probe
ble that his Majesty or will not .rectiver, 5° 'l',
