(BY TKLEGKAI'H. —OWN C'ORRUSI'ON DENT). ■ Wellington, Last Night. Some weeks ago a coloured man, named Isaac Brown, a seaman on the barque Comma, brought a complaint of cruelty against the Captain and crew. He said he could not get on with them and deserted twice. He was sentenced to a short term of imprisonment. Yesterday the man was found partially nude, wandering about the Hutt Valley, near Kaitake, in a Btate of violent madness. The settlers, for their own protection, had tied him to a tree, and as the place had burn drained of policemen by the Hawthorne case, they sent to town for a Constable to remove him to the asylum.
