WILLIAM GAMMAGE,

Aged forty, admitted July 18th 1818. This patient had been a seaman,

and comes from the workhouse at Ipswich, where he was confined as

insane; and where, in his frenzy, he murdered two persons. He came

here loaded with irons. His intellects are lost beyond all hopes of

restoration; and though freed from personal restraint, he is under

strict vigilance, to prevent mischief from any sudden paroxysm of that

dreadful mania, to which two unfortunate persons have already fallen

victims in his former place of confinement.
