A CONTRADICTION.
To the Editor.
Sin,—Dr Sorley having stated in your paper of Saturday, the 20th insi, as an “ indubitable and incontrovertible fact,” that “ a man who was not dead was transferred to the dead-house in one of our public institutions,” and not having named the particular institution—in order to prevent even a suspicion that such a thing took place in the Lunatic Asylum—l beg to state, most emphatically, that nothing of the kind ever occurred in the institution under my charge.— 1 am, &c., James Hume, Superintendent. Dunedin Lunatic Asylum, Sept. 26,
P.S. —As the story seemed to me so absurd, I took no notice of it, until requested to do so by the Government for the satisfaction of the public, J-H.
