INSANE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
Mr. RYAN offered a concurrent resolution that the Chairman of the Committee for the Investigation of the Insane Hospital be allowed to employ a short hand reporter to report evidence, etc., and that the Chairman be allowed to administer oaths. He said the investigation has been going on for three evenings, and that such disclosures have been made as to justify the Committee in directing me to offer this resolution, and to state it is important that the testimony should be taken. The managers of the Hospital have procured a like reporter to represent their interest. This investigation should be done in such manner that the evidence can be presented to this House and the people.
Mr. EDWINS said it was unecessary to put the State to this expense of a short-hand reporter; that other Committees took evidence by the clerks.
The resolution was adopted.
