COMMITTED TO ASYLUM
“SONG WRITER’S” COMPLAINT. ■ ! By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 22. “He is a writer of songs, and he is selling flowers, although he is fitted for more than that,” said the maintenance officer, of a man who alleged in court that he had been wrongfully committed to a mental asylum on the information of his wife, who was now in Sydney. “The question of ability in regard to the writing of songs depends upon the class of songs that are written,” said counsel for defendant. His client was a flower seller, but flowers were scarce, although not as scarce as songs. The maintenance officer said the wife denied that she was the cause of her hueband's being committed to the asylum. The case was adjourned.
