PATNA MENTAL HOSPITAL.
THOUGH every endeavour has been made to complete the buildings
of the new Indian Mental Hospital at Kanke, it has not been possible to
complete them yet, and the Patna Mental Hospital has continued to be
the only institution in the province for Indian patients. There was,
however, no overcrowding during the triennium, although there has been
a gradual increase each year in the number of patients treated there, from 316
in 1921 to 323 in 1922, and 331 in 1923.
2. It is satisfactory to note that the daily average of sick in the hospital
continued to fall, from 57.50 in 1921 to 44.97 in 1922, and 39.56 in 1923.
The decrease of sickness in the year 1923 was due principally to the improved
dietary scale and efficient prophylactic treatment. The number of deaths too
decreased during the triennium, to 20 in 1923 from 21 in 1922, and 28 in 1921.
The average number of deaths during the triennium under report was 23 only
against 35 in the previous triennium.
3. The same difficulty of finding suitable employment for the patients was
experienced, as apart from their mental disability, the majority of them are of
very limited intelligence and unwilling to work. The willing and healthy
patients were, however, employed on useful work such as carpentry, durry-
weaving, etc. The manufacture department showed an increase in the sale value
of the articles manufactured in the hospital, the amount during the triennium
being Rs. 2,758 against Rs. 1,162 in the previous triennium.
4. In conclusion Government in the Ministry of Local Self-Government
desire to record their appreciation of the good work done by Lieutenant-
Colonels Chatterton and Dutton, who successively held charge of the Patna
Mental Hospital during the whole of the period under review, except from-
January to March 1921, when Lieutenant-Colonel Sunder was in charge.
By order of the Government of Bihar and Orissa.

FROM
THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
BIHAR AND ORISSA,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT
OF BIHAR AND ORISSA, LOCAL SELF-
GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT.
Dated Patna, the 26th April 1925.
SUBJECT :—Annual Report of the Patna Mental Hospital.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
Superintendent's notes on the working of the Patna Mental Hospital during
the year 1924 together with the statistical returns in the prescribed forms.
The special feature of the year was the low death-rate, there being five deaths
only against 20 in the previous year and the percentage of deaths to daily
average strength was the lowest since 1912, being 1.71 against 7.31 in 1923.
The suggestions made by the Superintendent in the notes are worth
consideration and should be looked into on the opening of the Indian Mental
Hospital at Kanke (Ranchi) in September next.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
JAMES MASSON, M.B., F.R.C.S.E.,
LT.-COL., I.M.S.,
Offg. Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Bihar and Orissa.

It is always a difficult problem to keep down the incidence of Ankylosto-
miasis and Dysentery amongst the patients of a mental hospital, quite a
considerable number of whom are of filthy habits, passing stools in wards,
open paths or in the fields, drinking drain water, eating garbage and leaves
and are also of coprophagic and geophagic habits.
Want of a segregation ward has always been keenly felt but owing to the
impending transfer of this hospital to Ranchi and general financial stringency
construction of a new segregation ward could not be considered.
Of 5 cases of Tuberculosis 3 were admitted with infection.
There were 5 deaths against 20 in the previous year. The percentage of
death to daily average strength (excluding cases under observation) was 1.71
against 7.31 in 1923. There was no case of death amongst the ' Observation '
cases. From available records it appears that the death-rate in 1924 has been
the lowest since 1912. In 1924 the mortality in the Patna Jail was 23.94,
in the Municipal area 23.97, and in this hospital 17.10, per mille.
Criminal lunatics.—The number of criminal lunatics under treatment is
gradually increasing from 121.15 in 1922 to 121.92 in 1923 and to 131.06 in
1924. A comparative statement for the years 1923 and 1924 is given below to
show the three classes of criminal lunatics admitted.

2. Acquitted on the ground of insanity ...

In this connection I would like to make a few observation in regard to
" Criminal Lunatics ". Except in those cases where the accused persons
are too insane to draw the attention of the trying Courts as to their mental
condition, a plea of insanity is taken by the defence after some time has
elapsed since the commitment of the crime, and the Court then directs the
investigation of the mental condition of the accused. It becomes an extremely
difficult problem for the medical men concerned to form any opinion at the
stage as to whether or not the accused was of unsound mind at the time he
committed the crime, and even if he was so whether his unsoundness of mind
was of such a nature as to have negatived his criminal responsibility. There
is a possibility of miscarriage of justice one way or the other in such cases.
Or cases may occur where no such plea of insanity having been taken, and
the mental disorder being of a trivial nature at the time of trial to escape
attention of the Court, people have been convicted but while in prison under-
going the sentence, they show unmistakable signs of such types of mental
disorder which cannot but be of a long standing in nature. From the state-
ment given above it will be noticed that amongst people convicted of crime
