On one point of detail, which has no bearing on

the sanity or insanity of Miss Edmunds, we are glad to be corrected in relation to a mistake made two or three weeks ago. We had hastily inferred that Miss Edmunds' assertion that she was enceinte was meant as a fresh piece of malignity against Dr. Beard, but we find that it could not have been so. The Lancet states that she had not seen Dr. Beard,' except on one occasion in his wife's presence, since the Christmas before she went to gaol. We should be very sorry to paint even so wicked a woman any worse than she is.
