THE COSTLEY HOME ALLEGATIONS.
(per press association.) Auckland, March 19. The Hospital and Charitable Aid Board have held an enquiry into certain complaints of illtreatment, etc., against Mr Moss, manager of the Costley Home, by some of the inmates of that institution, particularly iu regard to the complaint of Mrs Young, who asserted that when she asked for her cap, which was worn by one of the other women, she was seized by Mr Moss and his wife and dragged out of the room. After hearing a great deal of evidence the Board exonerated Mr and Mrs Moss from blame, and while regretting that discipline had to be enforced in the case of Mrs Young, considered that no undue harshness had been used. The Board resolved that in future no case such as that of the girl Lydia Baker, who was an imbecile, should be admitted to the Costley Home, except on a certificate of the Medical Superintendent.
