This man, a blacksmith by trade, and, consequently, familiar with large fires, after the death of his father, who had taken care of him and had brought him up to his own trade, became distressed in circumstances and in mind ; he wandered about the country for some time, and shewed perfect indifference to what became of him ; in order, as he said, to be taken up, he set fire to... a stack of corn. He is a man of weak intellect, and both his eyes are injured, but not so much i to deprive him of sight ; he is harmless, ^. Nd willing to make himself useful. 67. \ All V II •l^-- ■""-- -W « ^■^ PROPENSITY TO BURK WITH RELIGIOUS DELUSION. Portrait of J. M. , aged 52. This man was tried and found guilty of arson and felony, but acquitted on the ground of insanity. He had been an excellent workman as a tanner, and had conducted himself to the satisfaction of his employers ; he had also been at sea ; he was considered sober, honest, and industrious; conversed with propriety on most subjects with the exception of religion ; when this subject was introduced he became excited, and said that an angel, sent from the Almighty, had ordered him to set fire to the cathedral, in order to cause the clergymen to think of their ways, which he condemned, adding, that he would do it again if he had his hberty ; this delusion continued till his death, which took place in May, 1838.
