that .1 can recollect an instance of that kind, At
moment ; I speak of it as usually the case.
Ipposing the King to be in the same state, in
:I) he was between the 23th of October an 4 the
at night, would you feel yourself justified :lie de-
that he was competent to the tratiistetiOri of

di eery kind, without any exception ?—Yes, I

ak so.
what do you mean, when you speak of his Majes-
manner being hurried ?—His conversation is more
id, and his thoughts occur more quickly in sac-
- one upon another, than in a state of perfect
; his conversation connected, but too rapid.
Not aacclering from one subject to another ?---No.
Do you think that his Majesty's increased age,
the period of his last attack, renders final reco-
more or less probable, than it did at the period
foregoing attack in 1801?-1. cannot compare
stances ; but there is no apparent failure in
, Majesty's constitution at this moment.
Has increased' age any influence upon the probable
recovery of a patient in his Majesty's circum-
• ?—I should think so ; that it was rather mere
Jvantageous ; but there, does not appear, in his
'esty's case, at this moment, any vital failure in
•
constitution.
Has increased age any influence upon the probabi-
of a speedy recovery ; does increased age tend to
a probability, of either a retarded or a quick;
recovery ?—lt would tend to a more tardy re-

Do you think the apprehension on the mind of a
A of the recurrence of mental malady, after re.
ed attacks, has any and what effect in producing
renewal of such attacks ?—I should think it would
le the patient more susceptible of the influence of
exteroal causes as would produce the disease.
Was it on the same day that the Lord Chancellor
Mr. Perceval saw the King, which you have
to be, according to your recollection, the 29th
of October ?—lt was not the same day ; I do not

You have said that you entertain very high expec.'

Acquaint the Committee, whether the state of his
i's health is such, as to render him incapable
conks, in person, to his Parliament, or of attend•
to any kind of public business ?—His Majesty is
)able of coming to Parliament, or of attending to
kind of public business.
'hat hopes do you entertain of his Majesty's re-

Do you found your opinion, upon the particular
-ms of his Majesty's disorder ; or, upon gene-
experienc,c, in other cases of the same nature ; or,
both ?—I found it upon both.
In that particular species of the disorder his Ma-
• has fallen into, has it been found from experience,
the greater number of persons so affected, have
cured believe the greater number of •per.
are cured.
Can you form any judgment or probable conjec-
of the duration of his Majesty's illness ?—No, I,
form no judgment of its duration.
As far as experience enables you to judge of hisl
Lijesty's disorder, do you think it more probable, that
Majesty will, or will not recover, so as to render,
an capable of attendin4 to public business think
amore probable, that his Majesty will recover, so as,
to render Mm Callable of attending to public business.
What degree of experience have you had• yourself,'
this particular species of disorder ?—I have had
• considerable experience in this particular species
disorder.
Has .any amendment already taken place in the
of his Majesty's disorder ; and does the appear-,
of Inch amendment continue at present ?-4%.1
.iderible-amendment hai. taken place from the
numendernent of his Majesty's disorder, which still
retinues.
What difference 1s there, if any, between the state,
his Majesty at present, and that in whih he was
hen you were examined before the Privy Council ?
It is extremely difficult to measure degrees of a
.plaint of this sort ;the character of it has in some
ieasure changed ; bet I think his Majesty, upon the
hole, hill as well now; as when I was examined be•
fore the Privy Council.
Did you ever attend his Majesty before in com-
plaints of this kind ?—ln the year 1901.
Is the character of the present cOmplaint the same
as that in the year 1801 ?—ln the commencement it
va4 exactly similar.
How in its progress ?—ln its progress also.
Do You conceive that his Majesty's increased age,
since that period, is at all likely to influence one way
the other his ultimate recovery ?—iodging from
sympouris of the case, I have no reason to think
the age will have anyinsence. •
Do you think the defects otitis Majesty's sight will
have any influence, one way or other, on his ultimate
tbecnvery ?—I think it way be the means of retarding;

Do yon think that his Majesty's increased age wilt
