RAILWAY REFORM LEAGUE.

(IT I.UJCB.tf"-- QWN COItRKMfOXI-KST.)

Camiuupoi:, this day, lUKOttv'attondod mooting of Tnmuhore y turn Club was hold last night for tho Lou of co-operating with the pro ___J committee of the Now _ea ,_ Railway Reform League in firming ____»( committees, and promoting a P rtton to Parliament. Several members ?___ed the meeting on tho subject 1 rttorm, pointing out that tho rail- Js instead of promoting settlomont _T assisting the farmers to get ._. produce to market, were merely l__i n Kabouts-**B*--*-ion' La*'ge q"anti* tolwch bulky produce as potatoes and __f wore rotting in Waikato, whereas 2_ reasonable railway froight thoy could h forwarded to Auckland, and sold at ,_au_orativo prices. It cost aTo Awamutu « Cambridge settlor 15s to sond a ton of artstoes to Auckland, lor which ho only Mt6of. Thus tho Government " collared " itoarth of the produce. A Committee con ditinfr of Messrs Graham, Barugh, Srtder, Martyn, Rhodes, Runciman, and Cjntsin Steele wore appointed to co operate Jffi, the various Chambers of Commerce throughout the colony, each ClTambcr to dto the lead In its respective district, flu petition to Tarliamont is boing largely ii.l ™- _

ILL-TREATMENT OF THE IN SANE IN VICTORIA.

The Koyal Commission appointed to ex infos and report upon the condition of the linatic aeylums in Victoria have brought jo in elaborate report highly condemnatory |f tie existing state of these institutions, jmecUUy at Kew. The report gives par ticulars showing how the offorta to obtain j?idence woro frustrated, and says :— "Some very hard swearing has been per petrated by some of tho witnesses called by I ji; who the guilty parties aro it is impos _b!e to indicate. Tho contrarioty of etidenae given by tho various witnesses ptoras beyond a doubt that perjury is common. Wo havo assertion and denial, and oath against oath several times repeated in _ueh a way that it is impossible to account for the discrepancies on the theory tiat one or other of tho parties wore mis taken. After going carefully through tho evidence, we find that it is so thoroughly conflicting that we aro bound to dismiss a ljrge number of charges as unproved. But them are two special cases to -which re leg to direct attention, viz., the cues of Robert Clifford and John Dougherty. Several charges woro made (gainst Robt. Clifford. A patient named John Tyler gavo a very circumstantial jeeonntof how Clifford had ill-treated him. Clifford denied on oath that he ever ill used Tyler, but we think lhat as Clifford does not 'get on with the patient*,' he it a very unsuitable attendant, and accordingly recommend that ho bo dis uiased. Attendant John Dougherty is ebarged with roughly handling a patient, vbo died while ho was being fed, and waulting another.; In this caso tho evi dence on the first charge was found wiflicting, but the assault we con fer proved, and therefore recommend Dougherty's dismissal." With regard to isaults gonerally, the roport states that sees of ill-treatment of patients have been ((together too lightly doslt vith. Tho _»imposed in some instances are ridicul raly inadequate to tho gravity of the face. In all instances proved, nothing tot of instant dismissal should follow as a jnishment for tho ill-treatment of people 1.0 are in the most abjoct state of defence aness it is possible to imagine. To palter i temporise with an offender when once tad out is, the commission think, only to aioursgo a most despicable and cowardly inn of brutality.
