UNSEEMLY DISPUTE
(BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Aucklanp, Last Night. The dispute between the Asylum authorities and the Charitable Aid Board regarding the maintenance of o'd patients who are merely in a condition of senility, culminated to-day in six old men being discharged from the asylum, and sec at liberty outside the office of the Charitable Aid Board. The latter body were quito unprepared for this move. Tho police took charge of the poor old men, who seemed totally indifferent to their situation, and lodged them in tho police station pending the decision of the Board. This is the latest development/ of the discussion which has been proceeding between the Asylum authorities and the Board, the former asserting that there are •forty patients in the asylum who should not be there, and who should be at tho Old Men's Refuge, and that as the Board have now a new refuge at Epsom they should take charge of these people. A special meeting of the Board is to be held tomorrow to consider the subject.
