Iu point of fact, was the King worse t t n haight tbau,be had
been the preceding night? The King had a remarkably good

When did you last see his WWI ? This morning, &boat
eight O'clock.
-What was Ms state at that tirie ? Nearly in the sasal
• tbat the King has been for the two or three last days. stale
Had he passed a good night? A. tolerably good night Coot
equal to the preceding.
Do you esteem it an unfavourable circumstance that sleep
should not lse attended with Hs sutural effect of refreshtneat
and composure, in a malady of the nature of that with which the
King is affected l It only marks the 'stage of the complaint. It
uniformly takes place, early, in complaints of this description,
that sleep dues not beaek the mind, it mily recruits the smba-
tut ion at large.
Does sleep, now, benefit the King's mini, more than it did ,
in the curlier stages of this disorder? Must undoubtedly.
Does it benefit his mind, as mach as it did in the corres-
standing stagesof his disorder, Heretofore ? I am scarcely able
to discover the exact parallel situation.
eflave you now, or had you, lately, smiler your care, any pa-
dents of the age of the King? Not affected exactly as his Ma-
jesty is.
Have you had coy parents, mentally deranged, of or about
that age ? So, I-think not.
Have you had patients. soestally deranged, of about the same
age, under your owe? 1 have had persons under states of •in-
sanity of the Kisses age, nut perhaps under IRMA derange-
unlit /similar to the
What is the distitictionsbet wren mental derangement and in-

ness-of stirrotindia.: objects. •In insanity, there may he little or
no. disturbance' apparently, in the general constitittitia ; the
mind is occupied Nolo some fixed assumed idea, t I the truth of
wlinh, it will p.atin iciously adhere, in opposition to the
plainest evideuce of its basil) ; and the individual is a: tit);.7, al-
way's, upon that fake impression : in ins pity, also, the mind
is uwake t objects which are present. Taking insanity, there
fore, and delirium, as two points, 1 would place derangement of
maul somewhere between them. • Ilia Majesty's illness, dui-
fortnly, partakes more at the delirium titan of the imanity.
Do you mean to say, that the King is at any time uncon-
scious of surrounding objeets? When t first saw his Majesty on
the tith of November, be was perfectly uncoaminus of
sur-
roumdin objects.
Was that sus state on Tuesday last ? No..
Was thert derangement au Tuesday ? There was derange-
ment on Tuesday.
Theo, on Tuesday, did his Majesty's disorder bear the cha-
racteristic of insanity, and on the lith of Novendser of deli-
risen ? It has never.bortie the character of insanity% it never
gets beyond derangement, according to the scale 1 shave just
laid down.
Does this tipply to the illness of 18J1, as well as to the pre
, seat? Strictly.
What is the prwnt state of the King's bodily health, in your
opinion? The King is far from being in a goad state of health,
lat this time. - . . _ . . -

Are the symptoms of bodily indisposition sufficient to account
for all the derangement of tow& w oleo is perceived in his Ma-
jesty? Fully sudicicut to account for the present symptoms of
the state of his
Is there a greater absence of sleep, now, than there was a
fortnight ago? For six days, there was emore regular sleep
than there hus been fur some days past; when L say a fortaight,
am perhaps out quite accurate to the time.
Do you attach any, and what importance, to a patient, bar-
ing previously had repeated attacks of mental disorder ? Pro-
vided I see up consequences arise from the rcpetitiou of the Ms-
order, I should attach no importance to it. •
lu his Majesty's case, have you observed any consequences of
the kind you allude to ? I have observed none.
Did not the Chancellor know, before be was actually intro-
duced to the Ki:z, that you concurred, upou the whole, in
thinking it would bt better he should see the King, than that lie
should cot? Having started the objections which I did, to the
Chaecelhw's admission, I proposed going over to the King, to
see ia vrksit-stale of expectation his Majesty was ; knowing that
he had been apprised of the Chancellor's visit to Windsor.
found him thew in such a state of expectation, that it was a
doubt whether us much irritation would not arise from keeping
the Chancellor away, as from admitting him ; and I there-
fore assented, as a choice of evils, that the Chaucellor should
go In.
Having stated that his Majesty's complaint is more nearly
allied to delirium than insanity ; will you have the goodness to
state, whether, iu •your opinion, it is ou that account more
easily cured ? On that account, L think it much more easily
eared.
In your opinion, has the apprehension on the mind of a pa-
tient, of the recurrence of tneutal malady after repeated at-
tacks, any, and what effect, in producing a renewal of such at-
tars ? It must depend very much upon the nature of the mind
of the individual ; no general reasandig could be formed on that
question.
DO you think it has on the mind of his Majesty I have no
reason to think that it has.
Areielapsm Mora to be apprehended, on the recurrence of
she milady, than after the period of the first attack? Ido not
know that it is, necessarily, to be looked fur; it has certainly
taken place in this instance.
If a patient had heart under your care more than once, would
you slot expect-the return of that patient more than after the
brit attack 1 Certainly.

The following extract 'from the former evidence
of Dr. BAI I.Lta was read :
" When were you first ealfatie to seethe King? .
" I believe it was on the Itth of October."
Dr. Ban-tut—l swish to state, that I and it was theffith of
October. I spoke to his Majesty on the 25th, but not (timidly,
although it was about his health.
On the 25th, whsu you attended the King, not in the ca-
parity in which sun subsequently attended him, did you ob-
lerve any thing.partkular in his Majesty's manner ? lie
was bursted in his manner: That is the observation that I
have made in, my memorandum ; that his poise was at 90, and
' Ms cotwerettiou was hurried, and a little ',desultory ' • that is.
.passing frost one thing a little rapidly to another: that was at .
three o'clock.
On the 26th, the Comilla/fie "b in understand, the King's ma-
.lady was established ? 1 sal him formally us a Physician, tin
the 26th : his emwersatiao then 'was certaluly very much hur-
ried; but, I see in my memorandum. that it was not irra-
=l aLCiongh hurried, mid not very evil connected. I
ant have trasttli to.my raeasiiry for that, but I bat that
in a•y memorandum-book on that day.
Did you think on the 26th, from what you observed in his
.11itjeMy, that he was capable of conducting business ? I really
i'italiasst give a very accurate ansteer to that question ; I should
rather think that he was not capable, but I would not take
Upon ine to say that that is a perferly accurate answer.
The following extract from 'the former evidence
'of Dr. BAILIE, was read :*— .
" Q. have any of the Royal' Family seen the King since
" his Indisposition ? • -
41 A. Not as far as I know : I believe at the time he ATM
" beginning to he hurried at fir.t, his familiy saw him ;
6' but since the disesse established itscharacter, I believe
" none of the Royal Family' have seem him ; I believe
- " nobody silt ;c the 25th of October."
Dr. RAIL' It-1 wish to state, by way of correction, that the •
Q•een and three of the Prioresses saw the King en the ;•'•iili of '
October. The Queen, by herself (that is, without the Prilicc,”ei.), ,I
saw the King for a little time on the 281 h of October ; and t
i entlerstand likewise upon the 29th for a short time. . '
Since you have bees in attendance; in whose •custody has
1 the King been; and in whose mistily de you apprehend 'his
Majesty to be unit ? I should . consider taut the King was
principally in the custody (If I may use the phrase) of l)r.
Robert Willis. If tam asked o het her he is exclusively in the
custody of Dr. !tubed Willis, 1 Should say au ; that he takes
iu it great measure the management of tae persons that are
inure immediately about hi. Majesty's person ; hut sometimes
directions have been given by the other l'hyOcians.
When were yea &din the habit of seeiii4 the King? I fiAt

every time that I saes lite Prineesa Amelia, as far as I recast
