It has been ascertained that this statement is false, the. man who had kept company with her being still alive, She had been convicted for setting fire* to a' dwelling-house at Breaze, and c ifie Jtiage'niade^a^i'cirderfor her retention during -her Majes^'s'ple&surey'oxi '.-ilhe 'ground of insanity ; 1 blit 'she was ""liberated and handed , .ojer to her friends in' February last year. Had, .the; .facts been known to the Immigration Commissioners her. passage., out ..here would, have been refused. Great blame, however, rests somewhere."
