Yesterday afternoon, just as the Bow Street Police Court was

about to close, William James Kellman or Kilburn was brought under a charge of being found in Buckingham Palace. He was evidently mad. Mrs. Brettell, a housekeeper in the Palace, met him about three o'clock, coming down the great staircase ; and he said that he had come to take possession of the Palace. How he got in does not appear. The house- keeper at once caused him to be arrested. When asked by Mr. Jardine what his object was, he answered "Well, Sir, I do not know : the fact is, people do look at me so—they look at me in such a way as if they wanted me to be King : I do not know whether I should be humbugged in that way—it is most abominable—I could kick a man through—I could almost kill him, he is such a damnation fool." The madman was sent to St. Martin's Workhouse for safe custody ; and this morning, his father applied at Bow Street to obtain the documents necessary for his removal to Hanwell Lunatic Asylum.
