Aged about thirty, is from Norwich. This man was found guilty of the
wilful murder of his uncle; but it was proved to be the result of
insanity. He has been confined upwards of six years in the criminal
wing of this establishment; and though, at lucid intervals, he appears
calm and collected, he is at other times violent and dangerous;
insomuch that, at one period, the iron belt, with handcuffs, were
found necessary for his restraint. But this he contrived to slip over
his hips, and with great ferocity attacked his keeper, and gave him a
severe wound, the mark of which he still bears in his face. This man’s
disease shews no symptoms of abatement, and he cannot be trusted out of
strict vigilance.
