Oxford, the pot-boy who shot at the Queen twenty-seven years

ago, and who was locked up as a lunatic in Broadtnoor, has been released, on condition that he leaves the country. He was pro- bably sane, though with a brain diseased by a craving for notoriety. He has acquired the art of graining in prison, and hopes to sup- port himself by that in America, or one of the cohinies, where he may yet do well, and probably be conspicuous for loyalty.
