A quiet, inoffensive man walked into the police station, off Lambton Quay, Wellington, the other night about 11.46 o’clock, followed by a sergeant and. a constable, and inquired about a man he was looking for. After asking nim to wait until they brought the man, the visitor quietly submitted to the operation of being deprived of his belongings, which included a revolver, a stiletto, and a piece of iron piping about twenty inches long, quite an ugly-look-ing weapon, and was then taken away to see the man he wanted in one of the cells. Jt then transpired that the man had been brought from a western suburb, where he lived with his family, at his own request, made on the telephone to the. police. He had been scaring the neighborhood with his display of weapons, hiding in the scrub, and startling folk who passed. He had delusions. one being that some obnoxious man was living between the boards of the ceiling, and he wanted the police to take him away. A medical man, who went out with the police, had no hesitation in giving a certificate that the znaa was not fit to be at large.
