Ox1oap, rHE PorBoY. After twenty seven
years1G| confinement 10 q criminal hnatic asy-
lum, during which his conduct has been exem-
plary, and no traces have appeared of mental
aberretipn, Oxford, the potboy, who shot at
her Majesty i'd ST. James Park, has been liz
Grated: During this time many appeals have
beef made in his behalf BY influential persons
wha bsYe had the; opp ortunity Of watching his
demeang1 aWdigauging his character. His own
story has always been, and was consistently
from the first, that the pistol which he fired
was not l6aded. &c will be remembered that
no, bdilets Vas ever fouhd He attributes the
criminal at which he has expiated By long I'M
muremept, and which, under "a less mercitul;
Government, must have cost him his life, to in
ordinate vanity, fostered bya variety oil trivial
circumstances in his domestic life and training
on which we need not dwell, and which led to
a senseless desire to attain ,notoriety by some
means, and this foolish and criminal impulse
led to his lamentable crime He has occupied
his time in a certain amount of sel-educatlon,
of which Che means have been granted to him
at Broadmoor and in the asylum in which he
was formerly confined, and has become toler-
able slinghist. He has also taught himself and
practised ''graining,,a which he does sufficient
ly well to earn living. He has been merci-
fully released, but has been very properly pro-.
Libited from remaining in or visiting England.r
Whether directly insane at. the time OF his Of
