Wb are sorry to learn that Mr James Jtffery, fruiterer, Brown street, h»3 been pronounced to be of unsound mind by two medical men and committed to the Lunatic Asylum. .Mr Jeffery has displayed an eccentricity of manner for eoine days, and yesterday he was put under restraint by the Police. Tke immediate cause of the patient's mental aberration is not known. His business affairs are, we believe, free from embarrassment, and he was not without money, a considerable sum having been found.upon his person when he was arrested. It U said that he sustained some domestic affliction by the loas of the Cospatrick, but the report is not confirmed. We hope the affliction under which Mr Jeffery labors will be only temporary.
