MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

PaIvATE MAD-HOUSFS.—Yesterdity J.andr. Eliot
were indicted fora conspiracy with intent to confine
the person of Mary Danty in a Private Maki-house,
under pretence of her being insane.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix
M. Danty, was it widow woman, and that E. Elliot,
one of the defendants, was her niece. Tl.e husband
of the prosecutrix died, in ISO 6, leaving one son, about
14. years of age ; and by his vat appointed the pro-
secutrix guardian to leer son, and silo executrix. The
prosecutrix being extremely unhappy for the loss of
her husband, the defendant Elliot and his wife pro-
po-ed that she should give up bousekeepingond come
and reside with them, where they, by their attentions,
wiatid be enabled to render her comfortable, and to
divert her melancholy. In compliance with these
suggestions, she, a little time after her husband's de-
ceaca., did giv: up het house, and took an apartment
in the house of the defendant ; instead, however, of
having her expectations realised, and meeting with
that attentiau which had been promised, she found,l
from the first day of her entering the house, that her,
nephew and niece were rather inclined to increase demi
to lessen her despondency ; and particularly when'
any one was present they took occasion to irritate her
and to provoke her to quarrel- with them ; when they
would throw out hints that she was not in her right
mind : they also took every opportunity to
,promote
disputes between her and her son, and always sided
with him in opposition to his mother. Not content
with thus insulting her, they added cruelty to insult,
and at length proceeded so far, that Ellit,t field her
hands whilst his wife beat her. This circumstance
took place-when she had been some ntonths in their
house, and about 12 months after the decease of her
husband. At length it Appeared, that having suc-
ceeded in persuading the brother of the prosecturix,
who resided in the country, that she was insane, they
proceeded to put their projected plan into exectitioa,
and one evening, in the month of November, 1507,1
whilst the prosecutrix was sitting at tea,. in her own
apartment, she was surprised by the appearance of!
Elliot, accompanied by two strange women, one of
whom pulled her down upon the floor, whilst the
other proceeded, assisted by Elliot, to put a strait waist-
coat upon her. Elliot then taking her by the feet and
the women by the arms, she was carried down stairs
and put into a coach, whfich was standing at the door,
and conveyed to a private mad-house at Hoxton.—
Elliot and the two women accompanying her in the
coach, and every time she attempted to enter into
conversation Eltiotaprevented her, by putting a hand-
kerchief berore her mouth ; in this manner she was
taken to the mad-house, and there left, and detained
15 weeks ; how much longer she might have been de-
tained there is uncertain; but, fortunately, at the end
of that time, she, from the window-of her prison, saw
a woman whom the knew pass ; and calling her by
her name was fortunate enough to make her heir;
to this woman she communicated her situation, and
in what manner she was conveyed to the mad-house.
and directed her to acquaint a friend in whim she
could confide with the circumstance; this as ac-
cordingly done, and friend immediately wrote to
the brother of the prosecutrix, insisting on her being
immediately liberated, or threatening to make her
cantinement the subject of legal discussion. This
threat had the desired effect, and the prosecutrix teas{
liberated, after 15 weeks confinement. On her return,
however, to her lodgings she found that her books
and papers, and about £2O in money, which she had]
left there, had disappeared ; her books were in the
j
hands of Elliot, the defendant, and she had since real
covered•:hem by a legal process, but the money had
been entirely lost. 41 •
Several respectable persons were called, who provedl
that the prosecutrix, who had been known to them
for a number of years,, had never been insane, either
before or since her confinement in the mad-ho. se.
Several witnesses were called to prove the contrary,)
but failed; and, after a trial which lasted six hours,
the Jury found the husband guilty of the conspiracy;
but acquitted the wife, she not haying In present
at the time of her being taken from her own apart-
ment, or going in the coach to the mad-house. Elliot
will be brought up to receive sentence on the last day
of the Sessions. •
CHARGe OF EXTORTING MONEY.-4811.7 Tedder wail

gram Simon, an Armenian merchant, well known
