Aged about forty-five, admitted about six years since, comes from
Derbyshire. This man was tried and convicted of the murder of his
father-in-law. In a fit of frenzy, he went in pursuit of his wife, who
had taken refuge at the house of her father, who interposed for the
protection of his daughter against the fury of her husband; upon which
the latter instantly shot him dead. Upon his trial for the horrid deed
it appeared that he was deranged, and he was sent to this hospital.
He is still much disordered in his mind; is constantly talking about
making large sums of money, and prophecying what kings will be
hereafter; but he appears to have no evil intentions, and in general is
quiet and harmless.
