Cconchided from yesterday's STAR.

Sir 1-Invity HAtronn, Bart. calledin, and examined.
You are desired to acquaint the Committee, whe-
ther the state of his Majesty's health is such as to ren-
der him incapable of coming in person to meet his
Pat Lament, or Of attending to any kind of public bu-
siness think his Majesty is incapable of coming to
his Parliament, or of attending to any public business.
What are tine hopes you entertain of his Majesty's
recovery ?—I have very high expectations of his Ma-
jesty's recovery. •
Do you found the opinion, given in your answer to
the previous question, upon the particular symptoms
of his Majesty's disorder, er upon general experience
in other cases of the same nature, or upon both ?
Upon both.
Whether in that particular species of disorder his
Majesty has fallen into, it has been found from expe-
rience, that tbe Treater number of persons so affected
.have been cured ?—I think so.

Can you form any judgment or probable conjecture
of the duration of his Majesty's illness ?—No, T cannot
Whether, so far as experience enables you to judge
of his Majesty's disorder, you think it more probable
that his Majesty will or will not recover, so as to ren-
der him capable of attending to public business ?
I think it is more probable that his Majesty will re-
slaver so as to enable him to attend to public business.
• What degree of experience have you had, yourself,
in this particular species of disorder ?—I hare been
in practice nineteen years, and during that time a vet y
considerable number of cases have fallen tinder my
notice.
Whether any amendment has already taken place
in the courts of his Majesty's disorder, and whether
!the appearance of such amendment continues at pre-
sent ?—A very considerable amendment has taken
lace in his Majesty's disorder since its commence-
ment. I do.not think his led:ijesty has made such pro-
ven within the last fortnight.
When-did.you. last see the King N.-This morning.
e What was,the state of the King, at that time ?
414 is Majesty had had a quiet night, and was composed
in his conversation.
Do you think the King was better to-day than he
*as yesterd.ty t-a 1 think he was quite as well to-day
as he'Was yesterday.

Do yOuthink there was any amendment td-day
.trom yesterday ?—No ; I think the King was much
the same to-day as he was yesterday. '
What -symptoms were there to induce you to think
tile disorder was in the same state as it was yesterday,
'When the king had a quiet night, and was composed?
—That was the case the greater part of yesterday,
though there were occasionally moments of discom-
posure.
Was it the case ye:let-clay morning, that he was corn,
posed -;-No, not in the early part of the Morning.
When you say that the great number of,patients
'afflicted with this distemper, according to your own
experience, have recovered, do you include in that
persont of the King's age ?—The cases of the same
aze.with the King, must be very feet indeed ; I think
they are generally at earlier periods.
Have you seen any patients of the King's age, af-
feted with the same malady ?•-•eNOt precisely under
the same circumstances with the Zing ; the King's
ease must be in some respects peculiar.
In what does the peculiarity of the King's case con-
Sist ?—More in the circumstances of the management.
Is there any thing Omitted in the management of
the King's case, that would be applied to that of any
other patient ?—I believe not.
• s there any thins added to the management, in the
King's case, which could not be added to that in the
case of a y other patient ?—I believe not.
Then in what does the difference of the manage-
rtient consist ?—I conceive the King is more capable
of being excited by external causes, from not being in
the habits of being contradicted or opposed through
his life.

Arc your hopes of recovery more faint in the case
of the King, from the circumstances you have descri-
bed, than they would be in the case of any other pa-
tient mentally circumstanced as the King is ?,---Not of
ultimate recovery.
Are your hopes, of the speedy recovery of the King,
as strong as they were on the 28th of November, when
yon were examined before the Privy Council ? I had
not hopes of his speedy recovery at that time.
Have you hopes of his speedy recovery now ?—Not
of speedy recovery.
Can you limit any tme, within which it is pro-
bable the King may be recovered --I cannot.
Have you had any patient under your care, men-
tally deranged, at or above the age of seventy ?—I
have seen.people deranged, above seventy years of
age ; but do not recollect that I have had a case under
my own care.
Of ti:oxe persons, whom you have seen in such a'
state at that age, have all or any of them recovered ?
cumot speak with confidence to that question ;
because, as they have not been people under my own
eire, I do not know the result.
Do you ru;t know the result c,f aoy of those cases
which you have seen ?—I cannot speak confidently to
the recovery of people above 72 years of age.
Then yon cannot take upon yourself to say, whe-
the any patient, at or above seventy years of age,
orriletn you have known to have been mentally de-
ll/14es', has or has not recovered ?—I cannot speak
aanlidently to that point.
• Do you know any one who has recovered ?—I do
rick sp, ak of my own, knowledge, but I have heard of
M veries.
'Do you recollect the

of thos# c►s&s ?

What is the present state of the King's bodily
kealih ?—Not perfectly good. •
What are the symptoms of disorder in bodily health?
-.lle has feverish symptoms.
Have'those feverish symptoms continued, from the
. One that.you were first called in to visit him, to the
present stime.?-1-lis Majesty has, occasionally, ap-
' inst free from fever ; but I think I can
duo be has at any time appeared wifely so.
