COMMISSION OF LUNACY, Aug. 25.

FIFTH DAY.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OT HR. 'RAND.

The inquiry in the extraordinary case of Mr. Brand was resumed
yesterday.
The Commissioners took their seats at half-past 10 o'clock. Mr.
' Brand entered immediately after,-and took his usual seat.
Mr. Phillimore said that he should be obliged to ask Mr. Brand a
few questions for the purpose of ascertaining the state of his mind. He
therefore hoped that Mr. Brand would be kind enough to reply to those
questions that would elucidate this point.
Mr. Brand, in reply to Mr. Phillimore, said that he ordered Mrs.
Dashwood's grave to be watched so long as Mr. Hughes thought that
Mrs. Daahwood's body would be fitted fur dissection ; namely, two
months. He, however, ordered the grave to be watched three weeks
longer, to make assurance doubly sure. He did not know that the lady
alluded to by 3lary Pettit was a foreign Princess. He never called her
by the name adverted to by Maly Pettit. In allusion to Mr. I lazelby
he thought he was an improper character—he thought so still. He also
knew Mr. Hazelby to be a coward 13 years ago. He did not think
he was bound to give his reason for believing Mr. Hszleby a coward.
Mr. Le Merchant told him about seven years ago that he was in the
habit of nodding at the Duke of Wellington.
Mr. Phillimore adverted to the letter addressed to Mr. Le Merchant
by Mr. Brand, and asked that gentleman if he would explain the reason
for his sending such a communication to Mr. Le Marchant?
Mr. Brand said that the circumstance was a secret between Mr.
Painter, and Mr. Le Marchant and himself. He refused to give any
other explanation of the letter.
Mr. Phillimore begged to assure Mr. Brand that their object was to
have matters explained. not to cross-examine nor entrap him.
Mr. Brand, in Continuation, observed that be never said that the wo-
man he saw at the house of his wife's aunt, who kept the "Jolly But-
, chefs," was his sister ;he said she was like his sister. He explained
the shadows alluded to in the course of the evidence in a satisfactory
manner. He certainly saw in the Exhibition likenesses that stronly re.
minded him of Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Daahwood, and a servant girl at Harris's,
,at Camberwell. Mr. Brand entered into an explanation of the mortgage
effected at die Pelican Insurance. An inquiry was here entered into by
Mr. Phillimore, to ascertain how far Mr. Brand was justified in calling
the various persons alluded to in the course of the examination im-
proper characurs. Mr. Brand said that he believed them to be impro-
per persons then, and he continued to think so. Mr. Brand was
evidently strongly excited on this particular subject. Either
Mr. Wadder, or some person like him, acted as a sham attorney. He
did not see that the expressions which he used in the letter addressed to
Sir Robert Peel, when he called upon him to release him, were at all
too strong. He would not tell the reason why he addressed a letter to
the Duke of Wellington; that was a secret. He knew tl•at the Duke
of Wellington, who imprisoned him, if he was really the Duke of Wel-
lington, would have met him and fought hint. He said that he saw
Serrett, who had been dead 15 years. It was either Saved, or some one
very like him. He was induced to attempt to turn his wife out because
she behaved very ill to him three weeks after she was married to him.
He travelled to France in two coaches. In reply to the Commissioners
on this subject, Mr. Brand said that a man had a right to be as expen-
sive as he pleased.
51r. Phillimore—But the object of this inquiry is to ascertain if you
are fit to manage your affairs ?
Mr. Brand—Then the reason is, I so travelled for the sake of conve-
nience. If the Commissionees wished to knew any thing inure respect-
ing the house of the Duke of Wellington, they had better summon the
Duke before them. (A laugh.)
To Mr. Whitmarsh—He never spoke to the real Duke of Wellington.
He declined saying why he called at Apaley House. He was much
obliged to him, but he (Mr. B.) could keep a secret as well as they could.
(Laughter )
Mr. Whitmarsh—The object of our ingairy is to have matters ex-
plained to the jury, which may appear strange as they now stand in evi-
dence; therefore it is that we ask you all these questions. I hope you
don't think that we have any other purpose in view ?
To a Juror.—Never had the slightest correspordence with, nor did
lie ever talk to, the now Duke of Wellington, when he was Sir A.
Wellesley.
To another Juror.—What he meant by saying that there was a secret
between him and the Duke of Wellington was this, that he would only
say what he had to say to the Duke of Wellington.
Mr. Brand then entered into his defence, which he read from a paper.
Ile said that his difficulty in addressing them did not arise front his
want of acquaintance with the English language, but from the circum-
stances by which he was surrounded, viz. imprisonment and cruel treat-
ment. He asked, did it appear, during the whole course of the inquiry,
that he had lost his memory, or displayed any want of understanding to
judge of the differenceof circumstances. Hs ssked,did it appear that he had
Lost the springs of his mind durin this inquiry ? Ue prove what
appeared to be die workings of his own imagination were not—the things
.that were supposed to be delusions, were no delusions. In alluding to the
death of 51ra Dash+ ood, he said he could nut envy the feelings of that
man who could witness the death of a pretty woman unmoved, Mr.
