EDWARD OXFORD - DERANGED barman Edward Oxford fired two shots at pregnant Queen Victoria as she sat in a carriage with Prince Albert outside Buckingham Palace in 1840. Both bullets missed - and when police grabbed him all he would say was: It was me that did it. Doctors testified he was an imbecile at his trial for treason and he was sent to Bedlam, where he was a model patient, learning to speak several languages, before moving to Broadmoor in 1864. He was discharged in 1867, deported to Australia and became a pillar of society.
