* Since this article was in type the following verdict of the jury at the adjourned inquest has been given, after hearing Mr. Frere as a witness for the Commissioners:—“Death from injuries received in jumping from the roof of the building during the fire,” with the following rider:—“The jury unanimously record their opinion that the laws which give power to continu lunatics should provide sufficient means for their protection from fire, and that the Commissioners in Lunacy should have exercised greater vigilance in causing adequate provisions to be made at Southall Park.” Is it possible that the author of “Gehenna” was on this jury?
