peared in the HERALD few days since, wherein
it was shown, as claimed by counsel, that Mr.
rockingham was detained in the Bloomiugdale
Lunatc Asylum against his viii and without being
afflicted with any insanity whatever.
The matter came up yesterday In pursuance of ad-
journment, on return to the writ by DR.. Brown,
the physician IN charge Of the asylum. The doctors
return set forth that the petitioner was voluntary
inmate OF the asylum was at liberty to go and come
when he pleased and that he was not now In his
lthe DOctors) custody under his control; that
when the writ was received by him he told the peti
toner that he supposed the object TO obtain his
release and that that beng the object there was no
necessity FOR any publicity OF the matter, and he
was therefore at liberty to go; that when Frotning
ham came to the asylum he was not I'm perfectly
sane condition OF mind, and although much im-
proved he was not even now, in his Judgment per-
lecty restored that the petitioner still cherished
very bitter feelings against certain parties although

petitioners condition OF mind would be proper.
Mr.. rockingham Dumping up)-That Is just what
desire, your HONOR.
Mr.. Townsend. counsel for the petitioner demur-
red 10 the DOCTORS return, claiming that 1t did not
snow whether the petitioner is discharged or not.
The DOCTOR he said, appeared to regard Mr.. Froth-
ingham as merely on parole.
Judge McCunn-Before l hear any more from the
doctor he must state whether the man is discharged
or not.
Mr.. Townsend again objected to the return as
neither being signed nor sworn TO by DR.. Brown.
Judge McCunn said the return was insufficient,
and he therefore sustained the demurrer.
Dr. Brown here signed and swore to the return,
which he handed to the Court, but 1t was still de-
clined as insufficient.
The Doctor hereupon added O sworn certificate
that Mr.. rockingham IS now OF sane mind, and that
he thought 1t would be proper to discharge him.
Mr.. Townsend accepted this, and Judge McCunn
formally discharged the petitioner announcing that
he would write an opinion In the matter.

such provision should be made. As he was TO
