THE MOUNT VIEW ASYLUM ENQUIRY.
At to-day's meeting of the Executive Council, the Mount View Asylum Enquiry Commission was formally issued and signed by his Excellency the Governor. It is addressed to Mr. Edward Shaw, R.M., Mr. Jonas Woodward, J.P., and Mr. W. Waring Taylor, J.P., and it confers on them all the needful powers for holding such an investigation, including authority to enforce the attendance of witnesses, and to compel them to give evidence on oath. The Commissioners are required to report to his Excellency within three weeks the result of their enquiry. A fresh development of the matter took place to-day in three female attendants at the Asylum being charged by the superintendent, Mr. Whitelaw, with ill-treating a patient. Mr. Shaw, R.M., very properly, however, declined to adjudicate on the matter, or even to hear the case, until after the termination of the enquiry at the Asylum, in which he is to take part.
