For The EhqhHc'
TO THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA.

With two institutions for the reception and care Of
that unfortunate class. who arc decided TO be luna.
tcs, often occurs that there is vacancy it is
often go said. The consequence is, that many per-
SONS have to be confined in the county jas, and
share criminal or feou's fate. This ought not to
be; justice and humanity forbid it. The asylums
ought to be enlarged, each county in the State
should be required BY law, to erect suitable buildings
for the purpose of taking in decent manner Of
such persons. A young man in this county, has late,
" been arrested a. unatic and, on examination by
the Justices the sheriff wa. ordered to carry him to
Williamsburg. The sheriff, a. was bis duty. made
written inquiry of the superintendent, who Informed
him there was no vacancy. He then made the same
inquiry of the superintendent at Staunton, who made
the reply. In this state OF things this Young
man, Of excellent character, and highly reputable
connexions. but poor must lie in jail Even it his
frsnds could procure the security required by law, it
would be unsafe to commit him to their hands, aud
the court in their discretion, might refuse It, as he il
badly derapged, and disposed to do mischief When
vacancy will occur assurance is given. Is there
no onreedent lunatc in either asylum, who could
Dc discharged or sent back to bis home to make room
tor one residing in the State ls there no insane
slave in either, who could be removed aud sent to
the jail OF the county These things ought to b..
looked into and have taken the liberty Of calling
the attention OF your Excellency to the subject.
