An old man about sixty vears of age, who gives bin name as Joseph Mowatt, and who sayaTsc is a Scotchman by birth, was admitted fc the City Hospital -under charge of Dr. W. W. Lane a few days ago for medical, treatment. But this morning early tho old man strayed away from the hospital and finally took up at Justice Wagner's ofiipe where he applied for an officer to gtm with him and make an arrest ot certain pcftlBS who had insulted his daughter and rei e trvins to rob her of a legacy that bacj jbfen left her, amount ing to JC4O.O0O 00,000). He also thought the horse" guards had fired at him and evidently imagined himsetf in Lon don. , " Dr. Late heard of bis escaped patient's whereabouts and after some little trouble, with the assistance of Mr. W. Roddick, a fellow couutrymau, the patient was in ducei to return to ihc hospital.
