THOMAS FISHER,

Aged above seventy, of London, admitted six years since. This man was

tried and convicted at the Old Bailey for shooting his wife: but on his

trial was proved to be deranged at the time, and was sent hither. He

shews at present no symptoms of insanity, but is regular, quiet, and

cleanly. He was formerly a very regular attendant at chapel, but age

and its infirmities now press heavily on him. He has become unable to

walk; and is generally confined to his bed through the debility of his

aged constitution. He seems to have been a strong, healthy man, but is

now reduced almost to ruins.
