The man, B. T—, who is the subject of this short paper, is an ex-service man aged 32. On 4 October, 1949, he was charged at Quarter Sessions on 20 counts of stealing from the offertory boxes of churches. He was put on probation on condition that he entered this hospital. Previously he had committed 68 similar offences, and has been in prison for 8 months. In 1939 he suffered a head injury and since then has had attacks of headache, vomiting and visual disturbance from time to time.
