His Honor considered the matter very carefully, and in the course of argument he stated that he was sure that there were many persons in the asylum who ought not to be there. He also thought that the fullest publicity should be given to such examinations, and that where it was possible such examinations should always take place before a jury. He fixed that the examination of Fenwick should take place on Friday in Court.
