A long Yorkshire and London miscellany recounts criminal lunacy cases and a celebrated trial involving Thomas Campbell’s poetry. It describes a court inquiry into a lunatic suspected of poisoning, the grand theatrical plans around Balfe and the Royal Court, and comments on the poet Campbell and his manuscripts.
An inquest details a fringe of estate sale disputes after a deceased lady’s effects were auctioned. A hamper of sealed bottles described as wines and spirits drew testimony about its inclusion in the catalogue and potential mismanagement. A suspect, Mr Campbell, faced verdicts about his sanity and conduct, with witnesses recounting a long, troubled connection to a lunatic asylum and disputed post mortem findings. The case touched on theft risks, carriage of valuables, and a court inquiry into the handling of the estate.
