that be is not mad, and I feel that it is my duty to say bo.” In reference to this case, Dr Macgregor, : Professor of the Otago University and : Medical Inspector of the Asylum, has written to the papers, stating there can be no doubt of the man’s insanity, and says, “ About seven years ago, the Hon. Capt. Fraser, as Inspector, misled just as Mr ■ Bradshaw has been, by the man s plaus -' ability, thought it his duty to bring this v man’s case before the Supreme Court, with the reault that his insanity was proved to the satisfaction of every intelli : gent person, and the Judge sent him back to the Asylum.” . A reporter of the Star to-day inter viewed Mr Hume, the former Superinten dent of the Asylum, about the case, and . publishes the following “Mr Hume - states that this man, who at one time - held a good position, has a craze about electricity, ar.d until this subject is touched on he appears quite sane. He imagines that everything is clothed or charged with electricity; that trees are covered with electricity as with snow, that his body is enveloped with electric rings, and vessels are propelled by elec tricity, and that there are persons who discharge electricity into nia body. Under the latter delusion, he on one occasion attacked a man who on the same steamer with him when coming from : : Sydney. This is the only instance of .‘.violence on record. He was considered ■ ■ quite harmless. During the visits of the Marquis of Hormanby and Sir James Per gusaon to the Asylum, he asserted that “clouds of electricity ” had passed from their stomachs into his. Ho thought he received telegrams through the air, and he asserted that he had visited places at certain times where he had not been, being under the eyes of his friends at the time. He also frequently asserts he could hear people speaking to him from Port Chalmers and Invercargill. A. T. A.’s insanity was brought about by drink. He consumed a bottle of pale brandy every day for some time prior to his ad . mittance into the Asylum. He had free intercourse with the public. The authori * tins had frequently offered to hand him over to the care of any of bis friends, as : he was quite harmless, but none of them would accept the charge. In the opinion of Mr Hume and the Medical Superinten dent, the man is undoubtedly insane, and they believe that on his arrival in Eng land, if not taken charge of by his brother, to whom he has gone, he will be locked up in some lunatic asylum there. Mr Bradshaw now further asset ts that

Dr Neill, the present Medical Superin tendent, discharged the man as cured on ■May 27th last. So the matter stands at present.

As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will bo enabled not only to foster the Growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will alsc be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored with a large consignment of the i CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can be imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
