PRIsONER.-It will be remembered that
when the jury cleared Thomas Brown
of the charge of murder of his father
on the ground OF insanity, Judge Rice
very properly ordered the young man
confined in the county Jail pending
commitment to the asylum for the
insane, rs the law provides shall be
done in such cases. Mr.. Langhorne,
