tended first By Mr.. Phpbus that Berry. who
was in court. was sane. and that his COM
mitment was illegal. The merits OF the case
woro net Rone into at all. only the legal ques-
tions on the commitment being considered.
Several months ago Berry. according TO the
statement OF his counsel. was arrested by . po-
lice OIL ser. on the charge that he was insane.
and taken 70 Bellevue Hospital. where he was
detained by the Commissioners Of Charities.
Several days later he was served. under the

TIE lawyer said that the Bellevue authori-
ties had no right to let the man come down to

"But they could have como with him." said
tie Court.
"His wife also waived service" said the law
"service cannot be waived in the case OF an

experiment station at the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College: ut
