ATTENTION having been drawn to the fact that
Magistrates acting under "The Lunatics Act,
1868," have in several instances committed to gaol,
pending inquiry, persons suspected of being insane,
although there was a Lunatic Asylum within a con-
venient distance from the place at which the Justices
were sitting, it is thought expedient that it should
be pointed out that the place of committal should in
such cases be a Lunatic Asylum, if there be one
within a convenient distance.
