3. Thomas Hardie to the Board. From what he had heard, it would be
premature to discharge Alfred. Should prefer to wait a month or two.
4. Board to Alfred, conveying this in other terms.
5. Alfred to Board, warning them against this proposal. To postpone
justice was to refuse justice, certainly for a time, probably for ever.
6. The Board to Thomas Hardie, suggesting that if not released
immediately Alfred ought to have a trial--_i.e.,_ be allowed to go into
the world with a keeper.
7. Alfred to the Board, begging that Dr. Sampson, an honest independent
physician, might be allowed to visit him and report to them.
8. The Board to Alfred, declining this, for the present as unadvisable,
they being in correspondence with the person who had signed the
order--with a view to his liberation.
9. T. Hardie to the Board, shuffling, and requesting time to make further
inquiries.
10. The Board, suggesting there should be some reasonable limit to delay.
11. T. Hardie, asking for a month to see about it.
12. The Board, suggesting a week.
13. Alfred Hardie, asking permission to be visited by a solicitor with a
view to protection of his liberty and property.
