MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.

On Tuesday a commission, in the nature of a writ de
lunatic° inquirendo, was opened before Mr. Comraissiollea
Barlow, Chiswick, for the purpose of investigating ..$,
state of mini of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, formerly
for Nottingham, but who since June last has been an '1",
mate of Dr. Tuke's lunatic asylum, Turnham-green.
After the examination of witnesses, the Commissiolt...
and jury proceeded to Manor-house. As the mornls
was very fine, Dr. Tuke suggested that the interview 2,b94,
take place in the garden at the back of the asylum. 'to
Commissioner assented, and with the jury walked 01Vre..
green sward to await the arrival of Mr. O'Connor.
sently the shrill voice of the unhappy man was. beta
echoing through the passages in jJyous accents. t the
emerging from the house he looked for a monlant.a
group of gentlemen forming the jury, and then, fixing Lig
eyes on Mr. Ernest Jones, he at once advanced to hi
and, grasping his hand, warmly exclaimed, "Here's
I love him ! I idolise him !!I deify him ! I adore hinl,t,
The next moment, observing his former solicitor, 10/
Turner, he grasped his hand and called out loudly, "J f
he'stletar eveTrulrinvedr IHiedoisliasecahpiimtal felilloewi,sits:ltebabtesTtusrlieerDl:l;
Mr. Bell now came in for a share of .the unhappy Meg
criticism. The moment Mr. O'Connor caught sigh' f'
him he exclaimed, " And here's Bell love him he
idolise him ! 1 deify him ! What a handsome fellow :.";,
is ! What beautiful eyes he has ! beautiful bestil
nose ! ~/ti
ful mouth beautiful lips ! beautiful teeth ! beautlier
ears'. beautiful arms ! beautiful legs ! beautiful feet
and so on, with a rapidity of utterance which it was Ir,
most impossible and most distressing to follow-
Pownall earnestly endeavoured to attract his mind who

property consisted ! All he could obtain in reply was,P;i.,
he had two newspapers ; but he would not enter into Iv
ticulars on this head. The conversation having Ce'ilv
for a moment, Mr. O'Connor drew himself up, and stro.4
ing both hands upon his thighs to mark the metre of 00
verse, recited with great rapidity some lines ending ~c 1
" Who strove for the patriots—was up night and daY
Who sav'd them from falling to tyrants a prey ?
'Twas Feargus O'Connor was diligent then ;
We'll rally around him again and twain." per,'
As he approached the end of this bdoggerel, once Oir
popular among his followers, Air. O'Connor became do,
siderably excited, moving rapidly backwards and forrliv
and betraying much of that bold address which dio,9 °fit
guished his oratorical displays in former days. abe
from Dr. Tuke, however, quieted him instantly, the
replied, " I won't say another word, doctor." As pot
learned Commissioner and jury passed out, Mr. o,Cnig..
appeared anxious to accompany them, but another woff
per induced him to return, and he stood on the dnersed,
as the company departed, exclaiming to each as he 111400
" What a handsome fellow you are ! What a hands
fellow you are !" oe

The jury found " That Mr. Feargus O'Connor w ir,

unsound mind and was incapable of managing his sua
dating the lunacy from the 10th of June, 1852, the 4.0
which he was committed to the custody of the Sar:lea-
Arms of the House of Commons.
