To the Editor of the 'Evening Mail. Sir— ls it right that daogerous lunatics should be allowed to rove about in the country districts any more than in town? Who is the person that ought to attend to such persins in Wakefield? Tlure is one lunatic who has been allowed to rove ahout for some tune past at the risk of persons' lives. Not long ago he turned a young m»n out of hi* house by force, and he had to wait till the* lunatic went away before he could go in. A few nights after he turned upon two young men in the public street, the one esc .pad easily through a paddock, while the other had 7 to dodge him across the road when he wks stru-k at with a great stick which the lunatic carries, but happily ie missed The lunatic then chised him, but he succeeded in escaping without injury. If the lunatic is not put in the asylum or some other safe place quickly, he will be kiPing someone, and far better secure him before then It ia to ba I hoped the authorities will secure bim loeAhe j safety of tlie inhabitants of Wakefield. / "V Lover of PeLcb.
