I have also reason to believe, that there are mat.y sinsilar instances in other i;anls, aid I am slot of opinion. that these instances will be soott multiplied whin they are best taktn carer of at the county aspens.. Do you apprettLnd the necessary attendance ,pin a ltinitic could h: suppled at n, cheap a rate in A -gaol. as at a house set apatt for the reception of lu natics? Every lunatic M a ga. 1 eitl.er has or ought tohave one er more persons whose especial business it is en look after him. As in w-11 regulated prisons no more officers are kept than necessary for the cot& nary business of the prison, in tne case of the debtor above stated, two tellow• prisoners are constantly pail each of them to the mows of the county aP lowatice, out of a fund appropriated to charity in that prison. Have you Obserfed the manner In which pauper lunatics are usu ally kept by the parish ? I have in many instances seen lunatics in parish poor houses, but in no instance have I seen them kept with any regard to their cure $ they are generally confined in some out.house or cell, or other place in which their noise gives least disturbance and trouble to the keepers of those houses. I have seen poor lunatics, not in the poor house, who have been fastened to the leg of a table within a dwelling-house ; others chained to a post in an wit-house ; and in one is. stance, I witnessed the case of a man shut up chain ed in an uninhabited ruin, and food daily brough o him from his telaticns, living at a quarter of a mile distance. Have you made Any calculation respefting the costs of providing for the maintenance and Card of lunatics in a house properly established for theit reception ? Iddso in the year 1795, when I made my calculations on rations numbers, from 40 to ti 7 patients ; it being evident that di' indtvidnal cost of each patient will diminish in proper:ion a numbers increase to 4certain event ; that the most e-.• no:M eal establishment would be (rem 1.59 to SOO. By my calculation in 1795, when.th-re were 20 patients, I conceive the average east %valid be !Ca. 4d. per week, where these are 24 patients, Ike. and lid. s. d. s, d. 25 Patients . . 12 IC4 45 P.mentil . . 9 04 26 Date . . . 10 74 44 Ohio . . . . • 64 27 Ditto . . . 10 Ditto . . . . 7 64 tf3 Ditto . . and I have reason to believe, that the I's. 61d. in 1795 world now be 9s. dd. and the other sums pro. portionably increased.

Ms. Thomas DVansten, Master to St. Luke's Horivital. Give an account of the estabiishment of St. Luke'. Hospital ? The officers and servants to Si.

'Me average number of patients at one time in the hospital is three hundred ; there are conse quently 320 p e rsons so provide for.

Cons:m.oy, dating the last twenty-five ears. Have you observed many lunatics in confine ment ? Not until since the AA of the 40th of His present Majesty, c. 94. What has been the state of them ? To speak sp.- c;fic sny of two confined in the gaol of the county of Gloucester, the one Thomas Roberts, who was tried and acquitted on account of lunacy, soon after pass ing that aft ; he i% AS tried for a highway robtsery, and I have reas-i to believe he was acquitted on a false pea ot lunacy, inasmuch as he has been cook to the penitent'ary house I.z years, a nd condoled himself as a man of sound mind. Also Janes Need, tried for an assault at the summer assizes. 1803, and remanded under the Rawer, of the same aft, to be kept in custody till Hl4 ISlajrsty's pleasure shall be further known ; and during that time he has been msi,tained at the Osage of the county, to the relief cf the parish in which he is settled ; this man is really insane, and probably dangerous to be per- Mined to go abroad. How far do you conceive the best regulated gaols to be proper places for the custody and cure ot in sane persons? I think gaols, however well regu lated, me highly ins; topsor for the custody, and in consistent with the cure of lunatics. It is improper as a place of custody, because they must of neces sity either be kept in society with other persons dis posed to torment :hem and aggravate their misfor tunzs, or they must be shut up in total solitude, in a situation completely inconsistent with any regard to their cure. I conceive, also, that to canine a madman together with ci iminals, would be danger ous to those with whom be was confined, and preg nant with disturbance ; as the present system of constrating gaols is calculated for the conveyance of sound. _ Have you known any inconvenience arise from - the noise and disturbance cleated by the confine ment of lunatics within a gaol? I have an instance at present in rise case oI a debtor, who his been confined five years in the gaol of Gloucester. for a d.bt so large as not to come under the intended benefit of the insolvent aft, and wh ybms is frequently heard in the streets anJ of ecurse ditt.urbs, not only the the prison, but sas., the inhalsitAno Isonro , od to a cunside•able distance rho in his paean- do equally welt if t'sey wore (-ray 8 ft. by7ft.The is at Olouceret, width of the galleries at St. Luke's, in which the le persons within Patients walk in wet wzather. is 15 ft. 6 in. whereas is of the neigh- a width of 12 ft. would be sufficient. se, sod has Cre-• (To ea agutttseee.) ,A l v - iv w -1',..,:,.,,. ,. ... ~.,........i .L 04.,,„ . rt . , yrimr.' z77,N, t 3 b r il I b i i i i it itO .e.. !.. v' I, Lit:7l • -,..
