Aged fifty. This is a native of Ireland; she was tried and found guilty
of the wilful murder of another woman, but under the influence of
insanity, and being much deranged, she was sent here. She is entirely
lost to all intellectual feeling. When in the airing-ground, she
picks up stones and rubbish of all kinds, which she calls jewels and
valuables. She sometimes strips herself almost to nakedness, tears up
her clothes into pieces, and flings the fragments over the wall; and
she then will proceed to dress herself in the finest clothes she can
lay hands on, whether they belong to patient or servant, no matter
to the frantic Philippa. She is inconsistent in all her actions, but
dreadfully disordered, which excuses the whole of her improprieties.
