RICHARD WRIGHT,

Aged about forty-four, admitted here about six years since, from

Devonshire. He was previously confined six or seven years in the gaol

of Exeter, where he was tried for murdering an old lady in her bed; but

on his trial was found to be deranged in his mind, and detained in the

gaol on that account. He is at times in a very high state of disorder,

but in his more lucid intervals he is religious, calm, and well behaved.
