Lady 'limner. lo preafre police dicers and Arnim them from--
about bis person]; remembers being in London with Sir Gregory
in February last, foe about nine days. Sir Gregory had a eon and
daughter; the former was at that dme very of which circum-
stance Sir Gregory was weU informed; he never went to see UM,
nor expressed a wish to learn iraw he was; returned soon after-
wards to Battle/slew He received a letter from Mr. Maberly;
found it contained an account that his son was no more. Re said
Dr. Green had killed him, and he would penish him by law—sent
me up to London to ascertain the facts; found, the child was dead;
found that an operation had been performed by Sir Astley CoOper
—returned borne ; be had received intelligence of the event—
sent me to town again, and was to go to a chemist and get
some bark, and ask permission to see the child ; was advistid to
put the bark in his mouth. Ile did not fetch the bark saw
the child; Sir Gregory said that a Ltroner's Inquest should be
held ; said the child should not be buried till the 17th of April—
told him to go to London with that order : said there should be no
leaden coffin—witness said if the child was not buried before, no one
could live in the house; he said if Lady Turner • did not like the
house she might go.to an hotel; said there should be an iron grati
to the vault where the child was buried, so that if he came again be
might see him : he was ill in consequence of insanity, in June 'and
July last ; saw something like insanity daily ; was in thb libit of
collectiqg things, such as pictures, books, old coins, spears mess,
and swords; they were not, in witness!s estimation, of much valor.
He told me abAnt a year ago that a tinker'had got a coin; it was a
pretty penny mentioned in the 'Testament; be got it ; witness went
and gave, £9. los. for it : was to have given £e10! witness said
ft was ridiculous to deal in that way; since that time the tinker hes
brought stones, bricks, and ilnagt•e, for which he paid him weU;
his name is Boswell; he hi* since arrested Sir Gregury.There
were people coming front all parts on such business; he put .
them by and appeafed to think no more of them. Witness has;
talked to him about his creditors ; and when lie has been '
tressed he used to buy these things; he called his creditors black
sheep, who served the house and worked about the premises; pica'
ture and book dealers were his white sheep ; he said to witness,
you must get some more money 'for my white sheep; he has,
gone by the ninits of Paxton and Soribury ; witness never
was with him When he made contracts with his white sheep
gave inconsistent ottlers as to hi, ho.,se and garden ; wished wit•
nest to paper the front of the house; had the pavement altered se-
veral times for the worse, excepting thelast alteration ; remem-
bers about twelve months ago, a pony dying, and witness told•Sii
Gregory he should buty it, Sir Gregory said the pony should nut
be belied until he had struck the blow; did not know what he
meant by that expression, but his orders_were positive ; has tent
letters and messengers to Loudon frequently for his white sheep ;
witness used tit pay the white cheep money; but they never gave a
receipt. Conversed with Sir Gregory in January a great deal; it
was all about nothing; it amounted to nothing if summed up. He
frequently called witness up at midnight, and sent hint to bed
again, and said he would ask the question in the morning. Has
seen him nearly naketrin told weather, and its hot,weatber he used
sometimes to wrap up, and have a good fire.
• By a ComaiMIONICA.—He had words with Tompkins ; threatened'
to Sog him off the premises; considered that he was improperly
disposing of Ms master's property.
By another Costanssumea.—Drove long journies by Sir Gregory's
command ; he used to snatch the whip out of his hands, and witness
used to shake him well for it—(A laugh").
George ILt field exathiqed by Mr. Dextrin—.Witness is a me-
dical man; sale Sir Gregory in October, 1822; saw him this year
in the King's Bench ; saw hint since, on Wedno,day last ; pro-
nounces him a lunatic decidedly.
Cross-examined.—!flight have lucid interval*.
Thomas Warburton rxamined.—Saw Sir .Gregory for the first
time on the 24th of September last year; witness has great expe-
rience in matters of lunacy ; believes that Sit Gregory is of unsound
mind; soma it to Mr. Moberly; witness considered, from a recent
interview, that he is now a lunatic.

Mr. Somrivset. rose a little after onto address the Jury on the
part of Sir G. P. Turner. He stated, that by the authority and
sanciion of the Lofd Chancellor *medical men on both sides exa-
mihed Sir Gregory, but he (Mr. Shadwell) must confess that he
never thought such an Overwhelming mass of evidence would have
been adduced in support of the Commission. It would be a waste
of time to combat this evidence, and he was not prepared with evi-
dence to rebut it.
The Curer Cosistissiosca considered that Mr. Shadwell had
exercised a sound discretion. He (the Chief CoMmissioner) had a
few observations to make, but be wished to know whether the Jury
would like to see Sir Gregory ? because, if so, they must go over
to the King's Bench Prison, and he would reserve his observations
until that was done.
Several of the Jury expressed a wish to see the Baronet ; hence
the Commission was adjourned pro km. and they were conducted
over to the Marshal's Glace.
The Cuter Couutssiostra said that the Jury were of course to
satisfy themselves in their own way upon the facts of the case. It
was not imperative upon them to visit Sir Gregory Page Turner;
-hut they had a perfect tight to do so, if they thought proper.
The Commission was then adjourned for two hours. The
Jury repaired in coaches to the King's Bench l'sison where tbuy,
had an interview with Sir Gregory Page Tuier. They re-assena=
bled at four o'clock, at the Gray's lon Coffee-house, and
The Curer COSIXISSiOnEn addressed the Jury. It only remained'
for them to say whether upon the evidence they had heard, and the
_opportunity they also had of seeing the unfortunate Baronet, they
thought him to be a man of sound mind, and fit to manage Ide
own affairs, or the contrary.
The Foreman then put the question to the Jury, and the sliew
of bands was unanimous fur a verdict-.--"Xhat Sir Gregory Osborne
Page Turner, Bart. was a person of unsound mind, so that he
not capable of managiug himself, his lands, messages, tenements,
'hereditaments, goods, or effects."
In answer to a further question from the Chief Commissioner,'
they fixed the Ist of July, 1023, as the dote from which they in-
tended their verdict to operate.
Some difficulty arose at the doe of dip proceedings respecting'
the insertion of the name of the next (0410 the words of the writ,
the " nearer") heir to Sir Gregory'sproiserty, Mr. Maberly not re-
' collecting the name of the Baronet's infant daughter, who is four'
years of age; but it was agreed that a blank should be left in the in..'
strument, to have the omission hereafter supplied.
The Inquisition was closed at live o'clock, and the Jury affixed!
their names and seals to the record.
In the King's Bench Prison, no persons besides the Jurors and
Commissioners were allowed to be present at the interview with'
Sir Gregory Page Turner.
