AS I anticipated, in my action against the Superintendent of the Dunedin Lunatic Asylum i came to the wall; but I feel satisfied of having done "my duty as a Colonist," and those who have gained a temporary success may rest assured that they have not seen the last of my "bonnet and me." Per the present I shall not show my hand. Some of the reports represent Mr Lewis Lawson saying that the patients complained of poison in their bread, and that the plaintiff said so too; but Mr L. stated the plaintiff did not say so. How Dr Thompson should know anything about my memory is wonderful, considering he has never spoken fifty words to me, and that nearly three years ago. On my late visit Home my relatives and friends were surprised to find' how I remembered scores of incidents which had happened twenty-six yeaißago, and which, till I mentioned, they had. forgotten. While in the box, my counsel omitted, amongst other things, to ask me if I had demanded nifdical examination, as I had informed him I had. I mentioned Dr borrows and any other doctor. Seeing Drs M nrrows and Hocken come a few days after, I fully expected they had come for the purpose of examining my state of mind ; but to my regret I found they camion a mortem. Afterwards I a«ked again, but with the same result. Mr Hume j kept stiinging me on with the promise of releasing me in a day or two, and I at last actually selected the ship I ! should proceed in—the Timaru. Mr friend Roberts wjs told to come and fetch me on a certain day, but on his ai rival a female attendant was sent to him to say that I was not ready to come out. Mr Hume knows why I was not let go till the ship AuckLnd was ready to go ; the fact of Lis cousin Davy Miller pcingin her was sheer accident, no doubt. Roberts, after this, wa* to'.d to come and fetch j me. out. He came several times, but with the same result. !

In rny doss-examination Mr Ftout asked me if T veniembere t Butt leiag admitted I s.;id I did, aud waiwiiling to enlighten with regaid to the assault committed on him. He declined my offer, and seemed more intent on knowing my private afMrs. "With the talent he is re markable for, making black appear white and whits no color at all, he turns the fact of my being with Burt into a conspiracy against Hume, as I told him I had not spoken to Burt or a human being about taking proceedings until after he had refused to take my case, and recommended me to see P/ofefsor M'Gregor. Fortunately, 1 had complained before leaving the Asylum to Lawson and Eoberts of illtreatment. On the point of using irons, and the number Bay 'wait a wee." Nothing is easier than hard swearing, but sometimes it U bowled out. It.is almost needless for me to say that nay confinement in the cell for two days an 4 nights wi>h my hands behind my back, for fighting with Woodhouse, a patient, was a pure fabrication, fur I n*ver fought with a patient, and have no recollection of anyone named Wood I exonerate l>r Hulme, for I believe he is simply a dupe - r and as to what the two •'tools" at the Dunstan entered against me in the committal papers, it has about the same foundation 1 treat it with contemptuous silence, and will live it down. -My friends regret I gave my evidence 30 c-xcitedly, but to me it is miraculous I managed to keep so cool, bemg of an excitable, nervous temperament; and seeing my tormentors before me was n<.t calculated to make me feel cmol.
