PHRENOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS OF GOOD
THE MURDERER.

As we last week quoted the phrenological description of
this murderer's head, drawn by Dr. Elliotson, we think it
only fair that the following counter-statements, furnished by
Mr. Brindley, should also be given, leaving phrenologists
and anti-phrenologists to draw what conclusion they think
well :

This wretched criminal furnishes one case amongst thou-
sands, contradicting the phrenological mode of deciding
disposition and character. We need not here enter into de-
tails of his sinful career. The broad outlines of his conduct
all must be familiar with. In his head there should have
been developed enormous organs, phrenologically speaking,
of murder, cunuing, and more particularly those animal pro-
pensities with which his crime was marked. In benevolence,
veneration, and conscientiousness he should on the con-
trary have been just as deficient.ln intellectual develope-
ments a like marked depression should have been mani-
fested. But, what says the head ? Does it correspond in
any degree with these requirements ? Undoubtedly not. A
better relative developement, phrenologically speaking, of
moral and intellectual endowments, is rarely to be met
with. An immense preponderance of brain before the
ears, a full coronal region, and a narrowing off be-
hind the ears. Benevolence, veneration, conscientious-
ness, firmness, cautiousness, comparison, and causality,
all remarkably full. Destructiveness, combativeness,
and cunning small, and amativeness very small. Yet
Phrenologists, with these facts plain to be seen by any im-
partial man, Claim this murderer's head as a case in point for
phrenology ! Fortunately. however, the head was measured
by others besides themselves. By the kindness of the senior
sheriff, Mr. Brindley, as well as Dr. Elliotson, was admitted
to the examination. Mr. Mathews, Mr. Deville'a foreman,
actually assisted Mr. Brindley in his manipulation, by putting
down the measurements for him as they were severally ascer-
tained, and keeping a copy for himself as a check upon Mr.
Brindley. This gentleman, a few days afterwards, admitted
before a crowded audience at the Adelphi theatre, in Lon-
don, that those measures were all of them correct—save one,
that over the region of amativeness. As this, therefore, was
disputed, though not disproved, we will omit it, and give
only those measurements which Mr. Mathews approved of,
and contrast them with their corresponding measurements,
as given by Dr. Elliotson, in the Medical Times of Saturday,
the 4th of June instant:-
1. THE MEASUREMENTS TA KEN BY MR. BRINDLEY, AND

ADMITTED BY MR. MATHEWS TO BE CORRECT.
Circumference of the whole head
From ear to ear over the forehead (Intellectual El2l
From ear to ear over the back of the head

(Animal)
From ear to ear over the crown of the head

104-

(Moral)
Extreme breadth of the head, rather more than
an inch above the ears, in the regions of
cunning and murder

2. THE MEASUREMENTS PUBLISHED BY DR. ELLIOTSON
IN THE MEDICAL TIMES.

Circumfererence of the whole head
From ear to ear over the forehead (Intellectual) 10. (!!) „
From ear to ear over the back of the head
(Animal)
From ear to ear over the crown of the head

114 (!) „

11 (!!!)

(Moral)
Brencith of the head immediately above the ears
(Destructiveness)
Ditto Ditto (Cunning)

Withont venturing to offer any comment on the above, we
would merely remark, that those who choose may judge
for themselves, by procuring the three drawings of Good's
bead, exhibiting the three regions referred to, taken by
scale and accurately lithographed, which will be sent, post-
age free, on receipt of six penny letter stamps.—Antidote
for July.

A model illustration of an improved mode of stopping and
preventing collision in railroad travelling was on Tuesday
submitted by Mr. Lee to the Earl of Ripon and the Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone at the office of the Board of Trade.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—A most distressing accident occurred
on Wednesday afternoon last, on the north road, near this
town, leading to the race course, by which Henry Bateman,
Esq., of York, was so much injured as to cause his death the
next morning. It appears that the deceased gentleman had
been on a visit to his relative, Captain Macoy, of the Royal
Artillery, now stationed at Tynenictuth, and that Captain
Macoy, with his lady, who was sister to Mr. Bateman, ac-
companied by that gentleman and another brother left Tyne-
mouth on Wednesday afternoon by railway for this town,
and proceeded hence to the race course in a carriage and pair
driven by a postilion. Mr. Bateman, the deceased, was sitting
beside the servant in the rumble of the carriage, the rest of
the party being inside, and after they had gone about half way
from the town to the race course, the postilion attempted to
leave the line of carriages in advance, when he met two carts,
the carriage slightly touching the first cart, but coming into
violent collision with the second cart, the vehicle was over-
turned, and Mr. Bateman was thrown to the ground with
great violence, which produced a concussion of the brain.
Every possible aid was immediately rendered to the unfortu-
nate gentleman, and he was removed to the Turk's Head
Hotel, where he lingered till seveno'clock on Thursday
morning, when he expired. Happily the rest of the party
escaped with but slight injuries.—Newcastle Journal.
