Inhumanity at Dunedin.
(pee united pbess association.) Dunedin, April 23. The Star to-niprht states that another ease of inhuman treatment has been reported. The allegations are that the father, a widower, who resides near Forbury llacecourse, on going to his daily work, leaves his four-year-old son locked up in a garden, tbe gates and doors being securely fastened; that a scanty meal is left for the chiid, whose sole shelter from the weather, if it is bad, is afforded by a shed, in which he has been known to lay for hours until bis father returns at seven o'clock at night ; and that the child's screams have at last attracted notice/ the neighbours declaring that, if this course of treatment does not cease, they will see if the father cannot be compelled to treat the child more humanely.
