He findß he was admitted to the Auckland Asylum on the 10th June 1889, when suffering from an attack of epilo' tic mania, the second he had had within about six years. He was discharged in December the same year on a Magistrate's order given on a medical officer's certificate. Great pressure was brought to bear by his friends to secure his release, and ho was liberated under the clause of the Act providing that a person can bo released for twelve mouths on probation on condition that his friends undertake to look after him ; and this Munro" s mother and sisters promised to do. The Act provides that if a person is released under this clause is not returned to tho asylum within fourteen days after the twelve months has expired, he must be formally discharged, which was dove in Munro's case.
