FROM
COLONEL C. C. MANIFOLD, M.B., C.M., I.M.S.,
INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
UNITED PROVINCES,
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
UNITED PROVINCES,
JUDICIAL (CRIMINAL) DEPARTMENT.
Dated Lucknow, the 11 th March 1912.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the triennial report of the Lunatic Asylums
in the United Provinces for the years 1909, 1910 and 1911.
2. The following officers were in charge of the Asylums during the trien-
nium.
Agra
...
...
...
Benares ... ... ...
Bareilly ... ... ...
Major Cochrane.
Major Crawford.
Lieutenant-Colonel Woodwright.
Captain Overbeck-Wright held charge at Agra from the 21st March to
the 26th November 1909, and Lieutenant-Colonel Henderson for a month in the
autumn of 1910, during the absence of Major Cochrane on leave and on deputation
to Kasauli for a course in clinical Bacteriology. Major Cochrane proceeded to
Europe on study leave for six months from the 16th November 1911 in order to
acquaint himself with the latest developments in the prevention and treatment of
tuberculosis and was succeeded at Agra by Captain Overbeck-Wright. During
the absence on leave of Major Crawford Lieutenant-Colonel Close held charge
of the Benares Asylum for six months in 1910.
Admissions,
discharges,
&c.
3. Statement No. 1.—At the commencement of the year 1909 there were
1,147 lunatics in the three Asylums, the number rising to 1,154 in 1910 and
1,159 in 1911. The admissions fell from 263 in 1909 to 260 in 1910, but rose to
308 in 1911 ; the total population in 1911 being 1,467 as compared with 1,414 in
1910 and 1,410 in 1909.
The number of discharges and deaths which were 256 and 255 in 1909 and
1910 rose to 282 during the last year of the triennium, and the number remaining
on the 31st December 1911 was 1,185 against 1,159 in 1910 and 1,154 in 1909.
The three years , figures are therefore—

3. Statement No. 1.—At the commencement of the year 1909 there were
1,147 lunatics in the three Asylums, the number rising to 1,154 in 1910 and
1,159 in 1911. The admissions fell from 263 in 1909 to 260 in 1910, but rose to
308 in 1911 ; the total population in 1911 being 1,467 as compared with 1,414 in
1910 and 1,410 in 1909.
The number of discharges and deaths which were 256 and 255 in 1909 and
1910 rose to 282 during the last year of the triennium, and the number remaining
on the 31st December 1911 was 1,185 against 1,159 in 1910 and 1,154 in 1909.
The three years' figures are therefore—

1,192

1,147
The number on the opening day of the triennium under report was therefore
45 less than the number on the corresponding day of the previous triennium. The
admissions fell from 934 to 831 or a decrease of 103, and the discharges and deaths
from 979 to 793 or 186 less. The number of deaths during the years 1906—1908
were 391 against 310 in 1909—1911, and the discharges for the period under report
were 483 against 588 in 1906—1908.
There was no overcrowding at Bareilly and Agra during the triennium
but there was a slight increase over capacity at Benares during all three
years. The capacity of this Asylum from the 1st January 1909 to the 31st
December 1910 stood at 351 (male 272, female 79) but from the 1st January
1911 it was reduced by 8 on the male side owing to four quadruple cells
being converted into 8 single cells. It now stands at 343 (male 264, female
79). These limits were reached from April to July in 1909, from June to
September in 1910, and from May to July in 1911, when the Asylum was closed
to fresh admissions. When I visited the Asylum in October 1910 I found that the
accommodation was barely sufficient for its needs, and that there was not a
sufficient proportion of cells in the non-criminal side. The construction of a new
barrack and main gate at a cost of Rs. 16,027 has, however, recently been
sanctioned.

Hindus, 144 Muhammadans, 26 European and Eurasian Christains, 15 Indian
Christians and 5 other castes. Of this number 656 were males and 175 females.
The districts which supplied the highest number of patients were Benares,
Allahabad, Agra, Cawnpore, Bareilly, Lucknow and Meerut. The number of
Hindus, Muhammadans, Indian Christians and other castes decreased during the
three years under report while the number of European and Eurasian Christians
increased by three.
