London, aged twenty-one. This poor fellow was convicted at the Old
Bailey, in October 1822, of stealing some pigs. It was his first
offence: but whether it was an act of insanity, or his insanity arose
from the remorse, terror, and despondency, naturally arising in a mind
not naturally corrupt, from a sense of ruined character, is doubtful.
He was sent from Newgate to the Penitentiary, where he proved to be
deranged, and was thence sent here. He is at present in a low and
desponding state, but quiet, regular, and perfectly harmless.
