HC Deb 22 July 1858 vol 151 c1930
MR. FITZROY

said, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is true, as stated in a daily paper, that at a recent Visitation the Commissioners in Lunacy discovered in a private provincial Lunatic Asylum a concealed cell, in which a man, who is stated to be in full possession of his faculties, had been for many years confined.

MR. WALPOLE

said that, after making inquiry, he could not find that the Commissioners of Lunacy had made any such discovery.
