taken to an asylum but knew that sucn prooeeu-
ing would bring the unjust censure ana eSci,ehe
that have attended the present commitment auvlseu
both for Dr. Danne's sake and her own, that sne De
treated by DR.. Perry at Mrs Bishops. Mrs. blshop
was directed by Dr. Dame to spare no expense;
week or so ago. after disgracetul scene and as Mrs
Bshop deciued to expose herself to the annoyance Oh
keenpg Mrs Dame any longer, II was decided, ater
careful examination and deliberaon TO send our pa
fient 10 an ASYLUM Ii would be manifesty improper
To publish the basis of my medical opinion suce 10
saw fiat had ample grounds for the belief that Mrs
Dame was insane and Irresponsible Our papers were
issued by separate judges OF the Supreme court mus
insuring The patients full protection, ana were gwen 10
Mr. Bronx to use. The newspapers are quite wrong
about Judge Duffy's attitude when Mrs Dame sell
constituted champions alleged that she could not eave
her bed Judge Duffy simply withdrew the warrant
of arrest as Mr. Bronx disclamed any intention oil
nerseeution. Mrs Dame is her own worst enemy
DIR Perry said that he had attended Mrs Dame LOT
wears and believed her insane. .c7.
FAIL the persons connected with the case tested 10
the high character of Mrs. Bishop and to the injustice
done her by the published statements which charged
herwth i'll treating Mrs. Dame These allegations were
fhe outprowth of Mrs DANES disordered Inauguration
All who know Mrs Bishop concur ID saying that her
treatment of the poor woman was uniformly KIND anu
considerable.
