DISPOSED OF. - It is fair to suppose that Eliza Jane Birmingham and
Mary Meyers were disposed of permanently yesterday, at last. It will not do
to be too confident about it, though. The Court records and the newspapers have
been making them travel backward and forward for a week past, between all the
asylums and hospitals in the state - and weary enough they looked before they
ever shook the dust of the city prison off their feet. But yesterday, according
to the County Clerk's records, Eliza Jane Birmingham was examined at the instance
of James Kelly, found to be insane, and ordered to the asylum at Stockton and
according to the records of the city prison, Mary Meyers was ordered to the
County Hospital.
