Aged near sixty, admitted about six years since. This unfortunate
man comes from London, and was convicted of firing a loaded gun
indiscriminately amongst a crowd of people, who were assembled around
his house. It appeared that he had repeatedly desired them to go away,
which they refused to do; and at length he, in a rage, fired amongst
them, but providentially no mischief was done. He was, however,
convicted of the criminal intent, but his derangement at the time of
the act was fully proved, and he was sent here. He seems at present
perfectly calm, rational, cleanly, and well behaved, and has many
respectable friends.
