ELIZABETH BURROWES,

London. This wretched woman was found guilty of destroying one of

her children, and, being deranged, was sent to Bethlem. She appears

to be perfectly sensible of the crime she has committed, and is in

consequence extremely disconsolate, desponding, and dejected. She has

no particular insane ideas, but her mind appears to be continually on

the rack, most probably on reflection at what she has done.
