SAL—Allow me ii-few-Wnee-to ;Mark on the letter of your correspondent, H. Webber, with regard to the movie* Foots. As respects the plea of insanity. I an perfectly satelled with the vertiet of the jury, but as an opinion prevails hatet man moist takeaway his own its unless he he imam, let me lASI/ that I WU ones in ommerastite with my Grit amen, Mill. Nos,a who many peen practised in Leaden on that subject, mid he remarked to —" I ma prove that they can, and they often do," and In essirinatiou of this point, let me refer to • fact which tame under iny own observation. I lived in Newfoundhiad 12 years. There was • man, a fine fellow for his work, both at the sod sad mel Isheriss, and while be. was at work he kept himself sober, but as loos as be returned, he we' drunk seta he had squaedered his earnings, sad he wee very absolve sad troeldesese. Ciao day,when be wee sober, I said to blin-"Now, Delbridp, lash you o.e question, yoe dewy. put off your lab in St John'. (be lived In Briger's Oo.ssptiou Say). Now suppose when you bays osaputZzyinir your sweeter were to my to you, • you tansli day aloud and take care of the vessel, other head. will go tad take up _their things, and as moo as they ham got them, you shall get yours. You know what an idle, drunken chap you are, and you know that one-half hour may prevent your getting in all the winter If you lose the time" Some year or two after this etieversatios. I mimed bUs, and enquired ef • hind where he was, and theaeswer wee—be is dead. DUI not yoa hear of it ? bald so; and than I learnt that it marred just as I had pet the thing to him. His reader lob him, en board, trek away all the boats The other hands weal to take up their 'applies, and when they west on board they found the handspike pissed serer the famskultie, and he LW Muesli to it by his handketehiel, end was quite dearl,—nee the effect of insanitg, but of nehridlid passion I Year t sake if be, books, had suesealed Thee killing himself, if a serener's jury would not have brought hint Memo. I answer very likely; but what tallosness would WWII them to souse to snob a renolmioa. The deed is demi sad ma% be helped, and they would met like to wound the feslimP of his relatives. Again, you roast pettish • deed man ; bet m the law now Mends you may Milli bin toloYbo° by the esellemetke of all his • and his creditors be defrauded of their bra slate of the law lamest tiejesk to punish the inaiseent with the guilty.
