INTERPROVINCIAL
Wellington, Feb. 26.
In veiw of the nature of the evidence adduced, Government has under consideration the advisability of suspending Mr Whitelaw, pending the result of the enquiry now proceeding. It is said Mr Whitelaw wished to resign at the outset of the enquiry, but that Government would not accept his resignation. Tonight's Post comments upon the indecency of Mr Woodward sitting as a member of the Commission, when as official visitor he is personally responsible for the management.
I saw Mr Shaw, complainant in the Asylum case to-day. He seems to regret having closed his case yesterday, as evidence which he believed would strongly support it has since come to his knowledge verbally, and by letter. He has what he believes to be reliable evidence of a patient having been wantonly lashed across the face with a bunch of keys ; and has also received a letter from a former inmate of the Asylum purporting to explain how the patient Anderson, whose name has been frequently mentioned during the investigation, met with the violence which caused his disfigurement.
