This thunderbolt fell on
Monday, the 3rd of May:--
Early in last March we found it to be our duty to bring
under public notice the conduct of the member for
Tankerville in reference to a transaction which took place
at a small hotel in Judd Street, and as to which we then
ventured to call for the interference of the police. An
attempt to murder the member for Tankerville had been made
by a gentleman once well known in the political world,
who,--as it is supposed,--had been driven to madness by
wrongs inflicted on him in his dearest and nearest family
relations. That the unfortunate gentleman is now insane we
believe we may state as a fact. It had become our special
duty to refer to this most discreditable transaction,
from the fact that a paper, still in our hands, had been
confided to us for publication by the wretched husband
before his senses had become impaired,--which, however, we
were debarred from giving to the public by an injunction
served upon us in sudden haste by the Vice-Chancellor.
