THE LUNATIC ASYLUM CASE.
To the Editor op the 'Evening Mail.' Sut —As the communication seut to Mr Curtis by some of the residents here, of which you took notice in your issue of last evening, evidently has reference to me, will you allow me the use of your columns to inform the subscribers to it that if their proceeding has the effect of hastening the bringing me to justice they will afford me material aid and "more pleasure than any of them can realise. I have devoted myself from the time of my being discharged from the Asylum to the present moment to endeavor to accomplish that object, nor do I intend to relax in my efforts whilst si have health and strength until I am successful. The prayer of my petition to the House of Representatives was to the effect that I had been punished without being heard, and that I desired to be tried or compensated. I care not in what forra an indictment comes, so long as it i3 left to a jury to decide upon my case. Dr Boor's character is a matter quite irrelevant to my complaint, and it was never my desire or act to drag it before the public. —l am, &c, Thomas Bdtlkr. Hardy-street, Nelson, Nov. 6.
