A Mad Seaman.
SCARING THE HUTT SETTLERS
(By Telegraph.)
(Per Press Association.)
Wellington, This day.
Some weeks ago a colored man, Isaac Brown, seaman oil the barque Cornuvia, brought a complaint of cruelty against the captain and crew. He said he could not get on with them. He then deserted twice and was sentenced to short terms of imprisonment.
Yesterday he was found partially nude wandering about the Hutt Valley, near Kaitoke, in a state of violent madness.
The settlers, for their protection, tied him to a tree, and as the place was drained of police by the Hawthorne case sent to town for a constable to remove him to the Asylum.
