(68 Hun, 127.)
    In re BLEWITT.
    (Supreme Court, General Term, First Department.
    March 17, 1893.)
    Petition of James Blewitt that he be adjudged sane. From an order denying the petition, petitioner appeals. Affirmed.
    For former report, see 16 N. Y. Supp. 305; 18 N. Y. Supp. 607.
    Argued before VAN BRUNT, P. J., and O’BRIEN and FOLLETT, JJ.
    Abram Kling, for appellant.
    Lorenzo Semple, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Nothing needs to be added to the opinion of the special term, upon which the order may well be affirmed, except that it appears from the record that the alleged lunatic has escaped from the custody of the committee, and has left the state of New York, and refuses to disclose his whereabouts; so that it is impossible to procure an examination to be made by a disinterested physician as to his present mental condition. We think the order should be affirmed, with costs.
