Insane Prisoner.

A young man named Frank Brady, aged
about - years, and who is reported to
have been more or less insane for several
years, was arrested in Presumption Town
ship last week on charge of horse stealing.
He was brought here and placed in the Gus
tody of Sheriff Barry, having previously been
examined and bound over TO appear at the
October term of our Circuit Court. While
here he was taken before County Judge Bas-
sett for the purpose of passing upon his SAM
ty, with a view to having him sent to the In
sane Asylum, but the County Judge having
no power to take him out of the hands Of the
law, he was sent to the Rock Island Jail to
await his trial. We know not before whom
he had his examination, nor is it material,
but it does seem to us that FIVE minutes OBJ
servation of the prisoner, would convince the
most ohtuse that he was not amenable to the
law. As it is he will have to lay in Jail until
the October term of our Court, putting the
County to considerable expense that might
better have been avoided.-ALedo Record
