Facts indicating insanity observed by myself at the time of examination viz.:

He is simple & childish & very depressed. His statements are contradictory, at one moment he says "I said I would kill myself because I was in such misery" & the next, "I did not say I would kill myself, I would not do such a thing", he says that his misery was caused by the boys tormenting him & putting needles in his bed (I am infomred that this is not true).

Facts communicated by others viz.:

John Skinner (Superintendent of ward) states that Christopher Wilson was sent up from Darenth Schools as being melancholy & wsuicidal, that he gets very depressed threatening to kill himself, bursts out crying without cause & that he is a masturbator.
