recovering . A judicial inquiry took place on this occasion , but it
was not attended with any satisfactory results . The latest accounts describe Caspar Hauser as a singular compound of child , youth , and man ; remarkably industrious , but without genius or talent ; and utterly destitute of fancy , pleasantry , or figurative expression ; but judging accurately of all that comes within his narrow knowledge and experience .

A bill for the commutation of tithes was promised ; this , as far as it went , was a boon ; but the only important part , the compulsory clauses , the part which would have compelled a grasping churchman to compound with his parishioners , is withdrawn , and nothing retained but clauses permitting the parties to fix a permanent commutation , if they can agree among themselves , and provided further they can obtain the
