An Unfortunate Woman.

"A. case has just been decided in New
York that illustrates afresh the ease with
which a sane person may be put perma-
nently out of the way in an insane asy-
lum. Miss Susan Dickie was sent to the
Bloomingdale Asylum in 1871, for no
other reason apparently than because
she was a rather disagreeable young
person to have around, and there she
might have staid indefinitely but for
lucky accident. In order to settle her
fathers estate, it became necessary for
the imprisoned daughter to be legally
represented by somebody, and so form.
al proceedings were begun to have
her declared judicially a lunatic. But
Unexpectedly the lunacy commission.
ers were not content to hear only
one side of the case, and, upon having
Susan's case presented, it appeared that
she was sane woman, who was simply
"railroaded" into an asylum by her
loving brothers and sisters, upon the
certificates of doctors who hardly did
more than glance at her, because they
didn't like to have her around. Judge
Brady, in affirming the justice of her re-
lease, makes the very proper sugges-
tons that in all cases there should be q
trial within 80 days after commitment
for lunacy, instead of letting the CASE 60
upon the certificates of any two physl-
clans, and that some system of personal
supervision should be devised by which
persons confined as lunatics may be ex-
amined at stated intervals by other per-
sons than those who are accustomed to
regard them as insane, and therefore in
clined to still consider them so.
