HC Deb 15 May 1890 vol 344 c943
MR. CONYBEARE (Cornwall, Camborne)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it is possible to make an inquiry into the mental condition of Robert Fitzgerald Crawford, now in Stow Asylum, as it is alleged that he is confined there whilst of sound mind?

MR. MATTHEWS

I am informed by the Lunacy Commissioners that the Medical Officer of the Asylum in question reported yesterday that Mr. Robert Crawford Fitzgerald, who is, they assume, the patient referred to, was insane. Any application in his behalf should be addressed to the Visiting Committee of the Asylum, who alone can discharge the patient.
