Some time ago an occurrence in regard to the manner of dealing with an attendant charged with breach of discipline in this asylum was commented on unfavourably in this journal. It is with pleasure, therefore, that we note in the Connaught Champion of March 17th the report of a case in which the committee of this asylum exercised their disciplinary powers in the most exemplary and satisfactory manner, showing at the same time the keenest desire, not only to protect the patients, but to support the medical superintendent and officers in the maintenance of the discipline that is so necessary to the successful treatment of the insane. The comments of the Connaught Champion, in a special article on the case, are also extremely satisfactory, as indicating that there is a healthy local public feeling determined to support its official repre sentatives in insuring that kindly and sympathetic treatment of the sick and suffering which is so eminent a characteristic of our Irish brethren.
