THE PARSEE MERCHANT LUNACY CASE, The Ruling of the New York Courts Sas- tained in India—Condition of the Bom- bay Lunatic Asylums—Bomonjee’s Wifo Entitled to the Administration of the Lunatic’s Estate—An Interesting Finale. It will be remembered by the readers of the HERALD that some six or seven months ago a Parsee merchant, named Bomonjee Byramjee Colah, a Parsee merchant travelling in this country and having in his possession great wealth, and while stopping at the Hoffman House was pro- ceeded against asa lunatic. The case was brought into the Courts here, and there being sufficient evidences of lunacy, the friends of the Parsee in India were communicated with, which nad the effect of bringing about a somewhat protracted litigation. Eventually, by order of Chief Justico Daly in Common Pleas, Bomonjee was sent, in proper custody, selected by the Court, back to id isuian ose tee et documents Gaghauted India, There the case has been revived, with the result as seen in the subjoined report of the pro- ceedings connected therewith in the Court at Bombay :— The Hon, Mr. Justice Bayley gave judgment yes» terday in the matter of Bomanjeo Byramjee Colah, a lunatic, on the application made Monday last for the appointment of a committee of his person. Mr. Latham, instracted by Messrs. Craige, Lynch & Owen, appeared for Heerabaee and Framjeee Dos- sabhoy Cursetjee Wadia, the wife and father-in-law of the lunatic. Mr. Marriott, instructed by Messrs. Rimington, Hore & ley, ‘appeared for Pestonjeo B jee and Cowaajee Byramjee Colah, the luna- tic's brother. Mr. Justice Bayley, in deliverin, ppaeasent, stated the nature of the application, an order to enable the Court to state clearly the grounds on which it proposed to dispose of the application briegy re- capitulated ine facts connected with the arrivat of the lunatic in Bomeey. There could be no ques- tion, his Lordshij id, as to the jurisdiction of the Court, which it derived from the amended Letters Patent, the Charter and Act 34 of 1858; and it had full power to make the order which it was asked to make inthe present case. bbb Moved and considered the evidence ad- duced before him, his lordship had reported that Bo- monjee Byramjee {8 of unsound mind, and is inca- able of managing himself and his affairs. No mo- fon had been made to set aside the finding, which therefore remained on record, On perusing tho learned judgment OF CHIEF JUSTICE DALY, ghee in the Court of Common Pleas in New York, it appeared to his Lordship that the learned Zo was under the erroneous impression that was agers lunatic asylum at Bombay; and he pro- vided by his order that, on being brought to Bom- bay by. ‘thajor ‘Constable, he (Bomoujees waa. to be handed over to the superintendent of the lum. Now, the evidence ‘ES on the subject the asylum showed early that it would be highly unadvisabié to consign this unfortunate’man within the four walls of this asylum. From the pre- sent state of the Bombay asylum, it was quite evi- dent this Court would not consign tte lunatic within the four walls of it. It appeared that there are considerable assets belonging to the lunatic, OVER TWO LACS OF RUPE! in the hands of an officer of the Court at New York.
