Wellington, 21st August, 1871.

ATTENTION having been drawn to the fact that Magistrates acting under "The Lunatics Act, 1868," have in several instances been committed to gaol, pending inquiry, persons suspected of being insane, although there was a Lunatic Asylum within a convenient 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.
