LIONEL TERRY.
Lionel Tiercry, who was sentenced to deiiitli some Jive yea.rs ago for murdering a Chinaman, but wftose 'Sentence was commuted on the ground that lie was not responsible for Ms action, is still confined to a mental hospital in the Dominion. Persons who are in a position to know,. state that Terry, whatever his mental condition might have been at the time he committed the deed, is nO' more insane at the present time than nine-tenth® of the people who have tiheir liberty. If that be correct, it is surely a. wrong thing that the Dominion should he put to the expense of maintaining and safe-
guarding sudh a man. If a surety is entered into that Terry will leave New Zealand., there sepias no good reason why he should not be liberated.
