ALLEGED LUNATICS' FRIEND

SOCIETY.

The following letter has been addressed to Sir George
Grey, by the Honorary Secretary to the Alleged Luna-
tics' Friend Society:—
" Campden Cottages, Notting-hill,
" April 29, 1850.
" Sir,—l have the honour of informing you that I pur-
pose delivering, on Wednesday evening next, at seven
o'clock, at the King's Arms, High-street, Kensington, a
Lectures on the Abuses of the Law of Lunacy, at which
it is my intention to illustrate the defects of the law, and
the injustice and outrages to which it affords occasion,
by the case of Mr. Mundell, late Lieutenant of the 69th
Regiment, who was seized on the 9th of November,
1847, at three o'clock in the morning, by four persons,
three of whom were policemen, who broke violently into
his bed-rooni, and after addressing him with great bru-
tality, manacled him, and drove him off at that hour of
the night to a lunatic asylum, acting without any au-
thority from you, but at the instigation of the authorities
at the Horse Guards, who had no sufficient ground for
such extraordinary proceedings, and not producing any
warrant or authority for their conduct, or allowing Mr.
Mundell to know the nature of the charges made against
him, or any opportunity of explaining or defending his
conduct, or of sending fur a friend to see justice done to
have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your obedient humble servant,
" JOHN PERCETAL,
" Hon. Sec. of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society.
" To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart,, M.P."
