Speaking t.f the extensive e•tablishm•nt of Sir Jonathan M;les, at I )r. colt,ider% lilt It«ntral moniiritnent sansfactory i He th:nk• dnistne beds improper. The Comisinsioners have had the '4- riener of r .e keeper. and the more rational lunatic.. and they have no reason t o believe that there are improper practices to any extent in ....iscquolice; but the general conduct of ilia lions.. was sati3factory in respecia, at the same tittle keeping in mind the sums which were paid for aeoniennidat . on el the patients. 11 , --pectilig the It use of Mr. Warhorton, at Bethnal Green. under tlie care ot Mr. Rhodes, the I) riot slated that the Commissioners sA•iierl the maiwtr on the 5.1 i of January, 11115, when, as appeared by the tni . iiunther of patients Witt 2J5. of whom about 213 were vs:limey.; vii.t the ti.opers' department, ospecillly that appropriated to women, is unah .les rnely crowded : some pauper men were ch , therl (pon their *lran tied, senli only a rug to cover •them, and not in any oily defended Ito's) the external cold." Representations were made to 2iltAVartiurton, in consequence ; they always found hiti ready to att e tM to the tetr4bsts of the Commissioner, and un various occasions have SEPT. 3. hound mrconistances comp', hied of to set, et i 'VI,. Mr. ettribnted tire erowded state o , his e lit t.• th. carmine. •tance of the New fleabite) not being opened, a bleu he ih w ill, when - opened, take 'away his extra patients. and leave him only a, moderate I umber ; and.tlsis. Dr P. believes w ill be the case, fie also thinks that the second establishment of Mr. Warburton. at Betlinil•green, which is contiguous to the former, is better managed : this is under the care of Mr. Talbot. and both establishments are stated to have been considerably improved of late. Dr. Powell farther states, that in May last, the Commissioners visited the house of Mr. Burrow, at Huston. From their minutes, it appeared there that were " 110 patients, of whom 100 are penpers;" end from their Report, " that the pauper department was trio winch crowded— many of the patients were rh , uhleti bedded, which was improper; that it is an indifferent hoes, i and that the circumstances no:iced at the last visi tation, were hut imperfectly remedied." lie also stated, that insane paupers are committed to nand-bowel with Out certificates, and their names are not returned to the College n• Physicians. That the Commissioners have no check upon the repre sentations of the Mad-house Keeper. That he knnws (,t no certain means afforded by the present Act. for obtaining 11w release of a re. stored lunatic, it the connections of the party should combine with the Keeper to detain lam. F.om the evidence of Sir Jonathan Miles, who was examined at his (Iwo request, it appeared—That his establishment is open to medical gentlemen who may choose ti e visit patients on account of their Insa nity ; that is, at their expence. That he employs a medical man rev,- tarty, with reference to their bodily health merely. That site number of patients then confitied to his house was 484; of these 150 were Govern ment patients seamen and marines, and 18 Officers. That he keeps insane paupers from several parishes in the metropolis. who are occa sionally visited by their respective medical men. That for the narvli Paupers and the frovcrnmert e patients, he receives at the rate of 10s, fir!. per week each. That he frequently goes into all the t.-d rooms of fits patients, end into their sitting room every day ; and also inspects the victuals. That for the last 18 months the violent are kept separatr fy from the quiet patients. That the Government patients have for due, years bark been kept separate fecim the paupers. That outrageous and violent lunatics are proportionably ironed, particularly th( se who were tried for murder, and acquitted for being senseless, these ere mere heavily ironed than other's. and with the sanction of the Lord Dlayor.
