FROM
THE HON'BLE COLONEL C. MACTAGGART, C.I.E.,
M.A., M.B., I.M.S.,
INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
UNITED PROVINCES.
TO
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
UNITED PROVINCES,
JUDICIAL (CRIMINAL) DEPARTMENT.
Dated Lucknow, the 14th February, 1918.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the triennial report of the Lunatic Asylums
in the United Provinces for the years 1915, 1916 and 1917.
2. The following officers were in charge of the Asylums during the
triennium :—
Agra.—On his reversion to military duty in December 1914, Major Overbeck-
Wright, I.M.S., handed over charge to Captain Corridon, the Deputy Superinten-
dent, who held charge as Superintendent, in addition to his own duties, till he
reverted to military duty in October 1915, when he relinquished charge to Captain
Robertson. Captain Robertson held charge till the 10th November 1915 and
Captain Clements, I.S.M.D. (retired), who succeeded him, was relieved of his
duties by Lieutenant-Colonel O'Meara in February 1916. The latter has, with
the exception of a short period in June 1917, continued to hold charge of the
Asylum as an additional charge,
Benares.—Lieutenant-Colonel Morwood, I.M.S., held charge of the Asylum
till the end of January 1916 when, on his reversion to military duty, he was
succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Hulbert, I.M.S. (retired), who held charge till
June 1916, when he was relieved by Lieutenant-Colonel Crawford, I.M.S., on
his return to civil employ from the Military Department.
Bareilly.—With the exception of a short period of a month in September
1917, when Assistant Surgeon Rai Har Prasad Bahadur of the District Hospital
held additional charge of the institution, Lieutenant-Colonel Woodwright, I.M.S.,
held charge of the Asylum throughout the triennium.

Statement I.
3. At the commencement of the year 1915 there were 1,326 lunatics in the
three asylums, the number rising to 1,402 in 1916 and 1,451 in 1917. The admis-
sions during 1915 and 1916 numbered the same, namely 431, but they rose to 449,
or 18 in excess, during 1917. The number of admissions during the last year of
the triennium under report was the highest recorded during the last nine years.
The total population in 1917 was 1,900 as compared with 1,883 in 1916 and 1,757
in 1915. The total population has steadily risen from the year 1909 when it was
1,410. The following table shows the population in each asylum during the last

Expenditure.
Statement VIII
14. The total expenditure during the year 1917 amounted to Rs. 1,89,154
against Rs. 1,81,668 in 1915 and Rs. 1,83,928 in 1916. The expenditure during
the three years amounted to Rs. 5,54,750 compared with Rs. 5,14,892 during the
previous three years. The receipts from paying patients increased from Rs. 5,528
in 1915 to Rs. 5,832 in 1916 and Rs. 6,756 in 1917, the total for the triennium
being Rs. 18,116 against Rs. 12,730 during the previous triennium.
( 8 )
re-roofing of barrack no. 19 in 1916 cost Rs. 5,287. The construction in 1917
of a dysentery ward for Rs. 8,047 and the conversion of the old hospital barrack
into a tubercle ward at a cost of Rs. 2,865 completed the hospital arrangements of
this asylum. The roofs of the buildings in the female and criminal enclosures are
of a very bad type and the whole matter of barrack re-roofing will have to be
gradually proceeded with year by year.
Inspections.
18. The Benares Asylum was twice visited in 1915—once by Colonel
Manifold in March and by me in November. I also visited it in November 1916
and again in November 1917.
The Bareilly Asylum was inspected by me once in 1915, twice in 1916 and
twice in 1917.
The Agra Asylum was visited by me in December 1915, and in January and
October 1917.
Conclusion.
19. All the institutions have been well managed and their condition reflects
much credit on the Superintendents concerned. I have to express my great
satisfaction with the administration and successful management of the Benares
Asylum under Lieutenant-Colonel Crawford. He is greatly interested in mental
cases and takes a keen interest in all matters connected with the asylum. The
excellent condition of the Bareilly institution points to most careful and efficient
supervision by Lieutenant-Colonel Woodwright over every detail of the manage-
ment. My thanks are due to Lieutenant-Colonel O'Meara for his zealous and
capable management of the Agra institution. There has been a distinct
improvement in the health of the inmates during the triennium, which is in a
great measure due to the very close and careful attention paid by both him and
his staff to the welfare of the patients placed under their care. I take this
opportunity to record my grateful acknowledgement to all concerned for their
constant and careful supervision over a peculiarly difficult class of patients.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
C. MACTAGGART, C.I.E., M.A., M.B.,
COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
United Provinces.
