KENDALL CLAIM.
Mr.. Atkinson, from the Committee for
Courts of Justice, reported adversely upon
the report OF the special committee in the
Kendall case, recommending that the Ken
dali Company be allowed to sue Mr.. ;.

then the State should itself sue Revcley

SOUTHWESTERN ASYLUM.
Dir. Newberry asked to take up the bill
commission to select q loca-
ton in Southwestern Virginia for new
Iunatic asylum and appropriating $500
and to procure plan.
The county in which the asylum is to be
located must furnish the site.
Mr.. Barham offered a substitute lthe
House bill appropriating $4,000, and &c.
300 to be gotten in subscriptions.
Mr.. Newberry opposed the substitute
and favored the pending bill.
Mr.. Flanary and Mr.. Bailey stated that
if an asylum was needed it should be
built, and the Southwest demanded that
il should be built in that section.
Mr.. Newberry said that the bill he ia
vOred proposed plan similar to those
under which every other asylum had been
built. II offered the only feasible and
practical plan.
Mr.. Loyenstein, as chairman of the Com
mittee on Public Institutions. said they
had investigated the matter, and there are
very few lunatics IN iails.
1t appearrd from a statement made by
Mr.. Wingtield that DR.. Wise before the
committee said lie had sent for every luna
tic he heard was in jail. In The majority
OF cases the lunatics were found to he
" farmed OUT" and the people who had
them were unwilling to give them up. As
far as Mr.. Wingfield could learn there is
no present need for new asylum.
Mr.. Flanary declared that he did not
want the asylum built unless there was
need for it. But if it is needed, 1t should
be put in Southwest Virginia, and it would
be waste to appropriate this $1,000.
Mr.. Petit said that IN three or four cases
that OF late had come under his observa-
ton parties for whom application was made
had gotten in the asylums quite promptly.
The substitute was rejected.
