The patient ■was a merchant of Melbourne and New Zealand," and it appears that he haa.jpf late been in the habit of drinking 'to eifeeSS. Through ;the instrumentality of his wife and others, and apparently, with his own consent, he was sent to the Inebriate Retreat for six , months, of which, sentence one month has already expired. Mr. Hood, on behalf of the wife, applied for his release on "the ground that the original application had been made under a misapprehension. His Honor said he did^rot think that there was any authorities to release the patient, who had been committed for a definite tifttt, as the statute was not merely to suit the convenience of the parties immediately interested, but it involved a public principle. The application was accordingly refused. Melbourne Age.
