COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

(Continued from our PAper of yesterday.)

Dr. Has do not think that giving 50
guineas for a chicken is enough to prove a man
mad. I told Mr. Davies that he was not under any
obligation to the medical men who visited him, nor
to the Lord Chancellor, who had sent his case to a
commission. Mr. Davies did not say to me that he
was not surprised that a commission had been issued
after the affidavit had been made. I have not seen
him since the 25th of November.

Re-examined by Sir C. WETHERELL—A person
decidedly insane may play very well at whist, and
work problems in geometry. I have known such.
I have known mad-men keep accounts correctly.
I knew one such, who, if he had gained his liberty,
would have murdered his own wife.

A Juror having requested that Dr. Burrows
might be recalled—the doctor stated, in answer to
questions put to him, that the keepers at his esta-
ment had orders to restrain the patients from the
commission of improper practices.
Dr. Thomas Blundell re-called and examine L
I have heard the statements which Dr. Haslam says
Mr. Davies made respecting me and my conversa-
tions w lin him. They are a tissue of falsehoods.
I never gave him any such account about a married
man, nor did I ever make any such recommendation
to him respecting the servant-maid.
Cross-examined by Mr. BRODRRICK—I attended
Mr. Pugh professionally. That was not a falsehood
of Mr. Davies's, therefore. I told Mrs. Bywater
the nature of Mr. Pugh's complaint. I did use the
oxpression " there is a screw loose there." That,
therefore, was not a falsehood of Mr. Davies's. Mr.
Davies and I used to converse on medical subjects.
He was fond of medical books, and he liked to con-
verse about gestation. I invited him to an intro-
ductory lecture, which pleased him very much. Mr.
Davies was so modest, and had such disgust of im-
proper conversation, that I must have been not only
a fool, but a madman, if I had ventured upon any
such conversarions as those which he told Dr. Has-
lam I had had with him.

Re-examined by Mr. WRIGHT—Mr. Pugh had
no such disease as
of the kind. The disease was the spitting of blood.
I law that a vessel had given way. That was what
I meant by there being a screw loose. I ‘vithed to
intimate to Mrs. Bywater that he required imme-
diate care and attention. Neither directly nor indi-
lee ly did I allude to the disease. There is
not the least foundation for what Mr. Davies told
Dr. Ila+latn about making slips. I state this upon
my oath. As to the servant maid, upon my oath I
never said any thing of the !j:;(1. I did attend a
maid 9..!7vant of Mr. Davies. TI told hint I thought
her. gritty; tninie'si;velf-beliaved girl : that
apprehended sh.o would go into a Consumption ; and
that I Shoidd advise 'her being sent back to her na-
tive place in Walils.

Dir. I,3,lundell heie l' egged that he might he al-
lowed to say a few ‘vor:.: 1N.11;,,t AL., DA-
vies hal sal4 cc' him to r Ltllain. He said that
th 'e';-i1)z,.::..;1:461iity that should, and the responsibility
that did, attach to a physician, rendered it highly
necessary that he should no: alto v such imputations
to pass without notice.

Mr. ADOLPIILS—I think Dr, Blundell. you toay
be perfectly cal on that (.0!-;!, ;7,)r n;:,) own part,
I not only !!lt, yam;;4l.tny th!ng of the
but 'l',.Vi'Ae th'atrMr. 'Daxies never ;;girt

[Tlieliadjiesnrtrent.t whom It had been several
44; e 9 . they had better withdraw, per-

sisted in keeping their places. The Commissioners
at last observed, that as all hints were lost upon the
ladies, it would not be necessary to consult their
feelings any farther.]
Mr. Pollard—l am superintendant of Dr. Bur-
rows's establishment at Chtp!nun. Mr. Davies Was
here with me on Monday. He expressed a wish to
hear the inquiry. He wished to have an opportu-
nity to propose questions for the examination of wit-
nesses. I was present with Mr. Davies, Dr. Bur-
rows, and Mr. Davies's sister. Mr. Davies- carried
. an indecent conversation on the subject of a
charge against himself of unnattwal- peopsusities.
Dr. Burrows remonstrated with him, but he 'con-
tinued the conversation. I believe Mr. Davies to
have been of unsound mind from the 19th August,
and that he is so at the present day. There is a boy
at the establishment. of three or four years old. Mr.
Davies is more • reserved now than when he firs!
came to the establishment. (Witnese was allowed
to speak from his notes.) The reserve began after
Mr. Holder's first visit—about the 7th, Bth, 9th, or
10th of September. Mr. Davies settles:A Ws: answer
questions put to him to elicit delusions. When I
referred to the indelicate conversation he had held in
the presence of Dr. Burrows and Mrs. Pugh, Mr.
Davies declined "to of the Subject. On Wed-
oesday last he told me he had Isitenreadirsg the evi-
dence of his aunt, -Mni:lrriLksliaick;and said it aps
plowed incredible evidence to him—that it contained
it vast number of untruths. I asked him whether a
part of his aunt's evidence was not true? He said
he did not know ; but that I might be able to recsll
it to his recollection. I said, "Do yob, not recol-
let the 'first visit your aunt paid vou here?" He
said, " Yes." "Do you not recollect, on that oc-
casion, your stating that your aunt had come to kid-
nap you ?" He answered, " Yes." " You be-
lieved it to be true ?" I asked. " Yes." "Do
you now believe that your aunt intended to kidnap
you 1" " Yes." Nothing more on this point was
gained. Mr. Davies ft equently cries. I never
could discover the cause. Ile laughs frequently,
sometimes loudly. He never stated to me the cause
of his laughter. I see a great deal of insane per-
sons ; they laugh and cry in the same manner us
Mr. Davies. There may be a cause for their laughter
and crying, but there is no cause apparent ; I ant
not aware of it. There seemed to be no cause for
the laughing or crying in Mr. Davies's case. If aw
nothing to cause it. I can't tell what passes in Mr.
Davies's mind. Up to Wednesday lust I had rea-
son to suppose him of unsound mind. Nothing has
occurred since to vary that opinion. Mr. Davies
has been treated with the greatest possible kindness
in the establishment, us fur as my knowledge goes.
He complained at one time of certain allusions on
the part of the keepers. Numbers of medical men
have visited at the establishment.

Cross-exlmined by Mr.BROUGIIAM—I put ques-
tions to Mr. Davies till the point was gained. I
did it of my own accord. I had not seen Mr.
Jones on the subject previously, nor any one else.
I told nobody before the examination that I meant
to question Mr. Davies. It was on Wednesday I
examined Mr. Davies. He told me he had read her
evidence in the newspapers. I believe I had seen
the evidence in the newspapers that day. I have
been six years at the Retreat ...tier Ur. Burrows :
my salary is MO guineas a year, besides lodging
and board. Mrs. Pollard has no salary, but lives
at the establishment. I was before in another esta-
blishment of Dr. Burrows's at a different place. I
am not a medical man: ant of no trade or profession.
I lived with my father, I knew that the medical
men came at the instance of Mr. Nobler and Mr.
Davies's friends.

By Mr. PlltutimoßE—On Wednesday last Mr.
Davies betrayed a delusion. I have seen him every
day since. We have conversed on the inquiry noa
going on. I have not traced any delusion since; but

I have no doubt Mr. Davies is now of unsound
mind, and incapable of managing his affairs. Taking
the mean time, I have seen Mr. Davies 20 minutes
at a time every day since Wednesday.
By a Juror—l have seen no symptoms of un-
soundness since Wednesday. I came with him here tn..
day in a coach. We conversed about the inquiry,
and other matters.

By the CoURT—He di,l not take an accuttre
view of the inquhy. lie denied the evidence of the
medical men, and the existence of delu,ions.

By a Juror—He is improved lately.
By the COURT—It was on Wednesday evening
['conversed with Mr. Davies on the subject of Mrs.
Brooksbank's evidence, about eight o'clock in the
evening of Wednesday last. An evening news-
paper had just arrived ; and Mr. Davies might have
seen it. I cannot say positively that he did.
I beg to explain a mistake in my evidence. 1
kept a boarding-school before I became an assistant
to Dr. Burrows.

A Juror—Was it for young ladies or gentlemen ?
—( A laugh.)—For young gentlemen.
William Mitten examined by Sir C. WETHERELL
-4 am a servant of Dr. Burrows, at the Retreat,
at Clapham. I took Mr. Davies there, and at-
tended him for about a fortnight after his going
there. Witness proceeded to say he had never
charged Mr. Davies with being guilty of improper
habits. I did not do so by words, signs, or ges-
tures. Nobody did so in my presence. - I was at
Crouch-hill with Mr. Davies from the 4th to tin
14th of August. George Bywater was there; hi
curbed Mr. Davies in his way of talking, and told
him to be very cautious how he spoke or addressed
any body.
Cross-examined by Mr. Anommus—l took Mr.
Davies from Fundval's-inn Coffee,housa to Crouch-
hill. When he went out fo;lowed, and observed
him. Mr. Davies atiended to Mr. Bywater's advice
while the 'ratter was at Crouch-hill. At times Mr
Davies ate his dinner by himself. He dressed and
shaved himself. He was under no restraint with
respect to his razors, &e. while at Crouch-hill. I
was not constantly with Mr. Davies, j went about
the house, and was once or twice in the billiard-
room. Dr. Burrows used to be ut the Retreat twice
a week,,-on Tuesdays and Saturdays. lle stayed
from one to three. There might be twenty patients
at the Retreat at this time. I can't swear that Dr.
Burrows was ever an hour, or a quarter of an hour,
at a time with Mr. Davies. There were workmen
at the house when Mr. Davies was there. I heard
a straight-waistcoat mentioned in Mr. Davies's }war-
ing at Crouch•hill. Mr. Davies was Ner: violent,
and Dr. Burrows had oecasioTi to t4ention 'tite waist-
coast, but it was isetiatieed. Mr. Darks had
brol;in 0•9 panes of glass in attempting to fly
through tie window. At this time Dr. Burrows
was' coming to the door. Mr. Davies stk.ovi to
break the window-frame. I crty,4.o i,5,,;.),1;.0p,t1

lie 17th of October I visited him in the es ening,
and was with him an hour and a half. When 1 first
entered:the room his appearance was wild, his wan-
ner ntyatte,riou,, and his action- strained and
&AL iireerned very -.desirous of cotnmtnuc„bete
wiit'mk freely. He drew chair near me a d
talked with great earttestnes, as.reiyr i!et-1 t f
gesture, watching the dour very suspicion-1i: Ire
spontaneously spoke of susp;eions entertained by
many persons in the Retreat, male and female, of
his being guilty of unnatural offences. Ile inter•
mixed his narration with tearft, and frequently spoke
in a whisper. He detailed various circumstance.:
hat convinced him he was the object of ohrse
arrt-
Witness proceeded to relate the c;reoln-
stances upon. which 'Mr. DaVies stated that he
founded his opinion 'as lo this matter. They' wore
of the most trivial kind. I saw him the next day with
Dr. Sutherland. On both occasions he wa- vc ty von :I
municative. This time he permitted me to sez down
in writing several circumstances that had occurred
on the former day. He: said he was too 110.1,ULIS 10

taking dowry front his lips what he said vt doe isa.—
lie rend them oVer,sig.ning his initials tot ac:i sheet,
and adding the word correct. He read 11,, deco-
ments aloud, weeping loudly, dwelling M h gre,A
emphasis on particular expressions, and savi. g, " I
swear to this expression." lie said he had kept up
the price of tea—that he had ingratisted
with the Duke of Wellington—that he had thoughts
of seeing Dr. Hume, the Doke's physician, on the
subject of the tea, lie said he had sent Sit Gorge
'ltalia: to his mother to ascertain it' she tea. insane,
desiring Sir George to send her to the coot ,ry w:th
six keepers if he found her so. Ile said agt acrid
system of deceit was kept up, and false tutu u•ed
in his establishment. This interview lasted oil( lint X
and three quarters. I saw no affidavits b. fore the
first visit. I saw some on both sides be the se-
coml. On the third visit, on the 26 hof November,
when I arrived at the Retreat, Mr. Davits refu'ed
to see me. He sent down a message by Mrs. Pol-
lard, saying thst ha unstee.o.od I considered hint
war declining to see 1111". However, I wcnt
up to his door. He said, "- Sir, I consider you h,ve
intruded; but seeing a gentleman at my door, I shall
not refuse to speak to you." 1 went into the tome.
He betrayed a reluctance to answer my questions.—
I asked him whether he had walked about with
pistols ? He said he has. I asked him what book
he had taken to Mr. listakey's. --He reptvd, Mr.
Lawrence's Lectures. He expressed a hope that I
had changed my opinion as to his sanity. I was
perfectly satisfied that his mind was unsound, that
his imaginations were of a formidable de• ctiption,
and such as frequently lead to suicide. I do not
consider Mr. Davies to be safe ut large. 1 think
there would have been considerable risk in allowing
him to go abroad under such impressions as he en-
tertained on the 26th of November. There would
probably have been considerable personal tisk to
himself.

:ClOll/1.

[The papers referred to as written under the dic-
tation of Mr. Davies, on the 18th of Octobw, woe
here put in, proved, and real. They weirs to the
effect desetibed by the witness, and referred to the
auspicious supposed by Mr. Davies to exist against
him.]
Cross-examined by Mr. ADotxttus—The papers
were written at the dictation of Mr. Davies, ver-
batim. He was very free in his conununications,
both upon the 17th and 18th of October. I never
knew Mr. Davies before seeing him at Clapham.
consequently I can't tell whether his ordinary actioo
was theatrical. Different persons make u,,e of dif-
fetent modes of gesture. I infer nothing from Dr.
Haslam's extravagant action this morning, for in-
•tance..--,(Laughter.)—l think the fact of Mr.
Davies having taken up important nations on slight,
and absurd grounds a proof of insanity.

Dr. Sutherland was examitwd by Sir C. 'We,
THERELL—He saw Mr. Davies once, in omipany
with Dr. Munro, and confirmed the stitements
nude by that gentleman. In his opinion, Mr. DAvios
was of unsound mind.

Cross-examined by Mr. RitQUIIIIAII—Charzes or
insinuations, such as Mr, Davies referred to, rnigh;t
well shake the stronkest and stoutest wird. 'rhey
would, in all pro,babiitity, produce a greatet effect on
perzon oft:44oc and delicate habits.
Re•examined by Sir C. WuTitturtELL—A belief
of the existence of such thsrl.res or insinuations;,.
without sufficient grounds, was in itself an evidthset
of insanity.

Sir 'George Ttkthill examined by a Juror---irr.
Davies was a better state, bodily and tnev.tal,
it the tittle of my last visit than when I firt,
him. The delusion respecting his relay yes was
limed. It had been the principal deli's; Still
don't think him fit to manage his affa;:,-s, if relieved
troth the controul of his relatives, rapposing that to
have been of an irritating
elwactfar. I speak of Mr.
Davies's condition at the per ;,d of my last visit.
Sir C. WETHERELL did uot intend to call auy
more witnesses for the ~,6altraggion.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

EIGHTH DAY.

At eleven o'clock the Commissioners took their seats,
the names of the Jury were called over, and
Sir C. WITHERALL stated they were in the hands of
the Jury as to the production of Mr. Davies and the
summing up of the evidence.
The Ciller COM3IISSIONER observed it was usual for
the alleged lunatic to be examined, that the Jury might
form an opinion as to his state. Ile should therefore re-
quest the Jury to retire with them for the purpose of that
examination, but it must be understood that no person ex-
cept the Commissioners, Jury, and Counsel, were to be
allowed to attend. It must also be understood that the
same course was to be adopted in the examination of the
lunatic tLat had been on former occasions, namely, that
that the Commissioners were first to examine the lunatic,
and then the Jury.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL apprehended, that in all
cases it was the undoubted right of Counsel to put any
questions they thought proper.
The CHIRP COMMISSIONER should be obliged if Sir
Charles would refer to any case in which such a course had
Leen adopted. Ile had now been x Commi.sioner some
time, and be did not recollect one:
Sir CsrAltLE3 WETHERELL had done it repeatedly in
Shia room. In Franks's case he bad pursued such a course.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER thought such a amuse at-
tended with great inconvenience, for in the result it would
lead to a cross-examination.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL submitted, any examination
that would elicit trouble ought to be made.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER observed, that the regular
comae pursued, under all commissions of lunacy, could not
he departed from on this.
The Commissioners, Counsel, and Jury then retired, at
twenty minutes pest eleven o'clock, for the purpose of
examining the lunatic, and had not returned when we left
at two o'clock.
