The Dundee Royal Asylum was recently the scene of a murder by a patient named Redmond, who while at work in the grounds suddenly attacked an attendant with a spade, inflicting serious injuries, and killing outright a fellow patient who came to the rescue. A brother of this patient is reported to have committed homicide. This would appear to be one of those regrettable incidents which constitute the penalty for the innumerable advantages resulting from the modern system of employment of the insane; calling not only for sympathy with the sufferers, but also with the physicians under whose supervision they happen.
