' appearing, both money and notes were restore(' to,
him. When he was informed, that if he carried
so much money into prison he would be very 0"
robbed of it, and he was strongly advised to give
it to some friend to keep for him, he said he .ba!,
not a friend,—he knew of no person to leave I.cf
with. The Magistrates declined taking charge ee
it ; but at the suggestion arid entreaty of so"'
gentlemen present, Mr. Ford, the Chief Cierk:s,
was prevailed on to take charge of it and I)!
watch ; and the prisoner was then remanded, to
order to be brought up again to hind over the
parties to prosecute ; in the mean time he CO.ar
milted the above dreadful act. The following
the evidence taken :
Thomas Grindley, a prisoner, deposed, that
about 10 minutes past 10 o'clock, on last Tuesdai
morning, Mr. Amer, the turnkey, came to the
gate, and called for the deceased ; that wititesc
went to look for him in several places, and a.t
length found hint on the third landing of the se'
cowl flight leading to the sleeping room, sitting
on the third step, leaning backwards, with his
throat cut in a terrible manner, and a knife in big
hand, all covered with blood ; he was quite de"'
but not cold. Witness ran down stairs, and gave
an immediate alarm; he saw him about a goggle'
of an hour previous to his committing the act; be
was then well ; the deceased informed witness that
he was 66 years of age ; be has no doubt the de.
ceased committed the act himself.
John Hall, a prisoner, deposed, the deceased
breakfasted with him on Tuesday morning, aft`:
which he borrowed a knife on pretence of son s
business. Witness saw him about five minute
:
before he committed the act, and after he
brought down stairs with his throat cut- 'The
kr.ife then produced is the same witness lent the
c
deceased ; witness has frequen:ly walked 81314
the yard with him, during which time the ;
cea fear
talked very wildly, and was in great lee
of being transported, and spoke so incoberenl►
that witness believes he was not in his right
at times. Witness has no doubt but lie coin'
mitted the act himself.
Daniel Springthorpe, one of the turnkeys of thec
prison, deposed, that he saw the deceased ab°"l,,,,
five minutes before he cut his throat ; he saw
afterwards on the stairs with his throat cut, au'
the knife then produced in his hand.
Thomas Webb, surgeon to the prison, deposed.'
that the deceased came to his death in coitshe;
(pence of his throat being cat, and from n'llat u
could collect, he was of opinion the deceased *-
.s
insane.
The Jury, under all the circumstances, returned
a verdict of Insanity.
The body is not owned, consequently there
no person to claim his money. It is supposed ha
stole the hat in a fit of temporary insanity, anti
that shame afterwards prevented his giving "I
right Dame or residence.
