FROM
SURGEON-COLONEL D. O'C. RAYE, M.D.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab,
To
H. J. MAYNARD, ESQUIRE,
Junior Secretary to Government, Punjab.
Dated LAHORE, the 2nd April 1897.
SIR,
I have the honor to forward the Annual Returns of the Lahore and Delhi
Lunatic Asylums for 1896.
STATEMENT No. I.—POPULATION.
2. Lahore.—The lunatics remaining on the 1st January 1896 numbered
221, of whom 172 were males and 49 females. The admissions during the year
were 103; viz., 82 males and 21 females. The re-admissions amounted to 10; of
these 8 were men and 2 were women. Of those re-admitted several had been
at large and enjoying periods of sanity of considerable duration. Thus, one
each had been sane for 11, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3 and 2 years, respectively. This
indicates that sufficient care had been exercised in coming to a decision before
these people were discharged.
3. The total population was 334, or 262 males and 72 females. In 1895
the total population was 315, and consisted of 253 males and 62 females.
4. There were 78 persons discharged—

5. The cures took place in the following varieties of insanity; viz., mania
34, and melancholia 4.
6. In his Review of the Report of Lunatic Asylums for 1895, the Lieute-
nant-Governor called attention to the large number of persons shown as dis-
charged cured. The Superintendent of the Lahore Lunatic Asylum states that he
never discharges any one until several months of sanity have elapsed, and then
only if there have been no dangerous tendencies observed in the patient. He pur-
posely endeavours to get patients who seem to have recovered away from the
asylum as quickly as possible, because the surroundings in any asylum must
be prejudicial to permanent recovery; and, moreover, the Lahore Asylum is
such an unhealthy one that, for this reason alone, it is desirable to send patients
away whenever practicable. Of the 38 discharged as cured during 1896 all, so
far as is known, remained sane to the end of the year. Of 26 discharged as
improved but one was re-admitted during the year.
7. There were 18 deaths during the year, 16 males and 2 females.
8. The returns for 1896 thus show that there were—

9. The daily average strength was 183.71 males and 51.25 females, total
234.96. The daily average strength for the previous ten years was 249.76.
10. The percentage of cures to the daily average strength was 16.17,
being much the same as in the previous year. For the preceding ten years the
percentage was 14.04.
11. The percentage of deaths to the daily average strength was 7.66.
This is an unusually low death-rate. The average for the previous ten years
was 11.88.
12. Delhi.—At the commencement of the year 108 lunatics remained;
viz., 80 males and 28 females. There were 47 admissions, 36 being males and
11 females. The re-admissions were 6, or 5 males and 1 female. The total
population thus came to 161, of whom 121 were males and 40 females. The
total population of the previous year was 163.
13. The persons discharged were of the following classes :—

17. The percentage of cures to the daily average strength was 10.15,
compared with 17.98 in 1895. For the previous ten years it was 19.32.
18. The death percentage in 1896 was 3.39. The average for the
previous ten years was 11.82.
STATEMENT
No. II.—CRIMINAL LUNATICS.
19. Lahore.—At the close of 1895 there were 54 criminal lunatics con-
fined, 24 criminals were admitted and 2 re-admitted during the year. The total
criminal population, therefore, amounted to 80.
These were classified as follows :—
Tried and acquitted on the ground of insanity
...
...
Admitted insane and incapable of making a defence ...
Became insane while undergoing imprisonment
...
...

20. Six lunatics were transferred to the non-criminal class, 4 were sent
back to their districts to make their defence, 1 was released or made over to
his friends by order of Government, 1 escaped and 5 died. At the close of
the year 63 remained in the asylum, 59 males and 4 females.
21. The daily average strength in 1896 was 61.24, compared with 60.50
in 1895, so that now about one quarter of the total strength of lunatics confined
in the asylum is of the criminal class.
3
22. Delhi.—On the 31st December 1895 there were 12 criminal lunatics
in confinement, 11 males and 1 female. There were 6 admissions, 5 men and 1
woman, and 1 man was re-admitted, making a total of 19, or 17 men and 2
women. During the year 1 was transferred to jail, 2 were sent for trial,
and 3 escaped, leaving a total of 13 at the close of the year.
23. These were classed as follows : —
Tried and acquitted on the ground of insanity
...

Found incapable of making a defence

24. The daily average strength of criminal lunatics in the Delhi Asylum
was 13.04, compared with 13.70 in 1895. The criminals form nearly one-ninth
of the total insanes in this asylum.
ESCAPES.
25. There were two escapes from the Lahore and four from the Delhi
Asylum.
26. Lahore.—One man, a criminal, scaled the wall at night by means of
a new building which was being erected. He was missed in the early morning,
and was not recaptured. The other man, a non-criminal, who was recaptured,
stated that he had got out through the main gate, but his statement was
not believed. In neither case was the establishment found to have been res-
ponsible.
27. Delhi.—Four escapes took place from the Delhi Asylum. Three of
these lunatics were criminals, and the Superintendent had doubts as to their
insanity. One of them was recaptured, and as he had only been under obser-
vation he was then sent to the look-up. Nothing has been heard of the other
two. The fourth lunatic who escaped, a non-criminal, was recaptured. In
each case the warders concerned were severely punished.

49. The cash abstract showing the cost per head in Lahore and Delhi
is appended. The increased cost per head in both asylums is accounted for in
the preceding remarks on the details of expenditure. The extra cost per head
in Lahore, as compared with Delhi, was due largely to the payment during 1896.
of the price of clothing purchased in 1895, and to a heavy expenditure under the
head contingencies, for the purchase of stoves, iron cots, a pair of bullocks, &c.

STATEMENT No. XI.—MANUFACTURES AND LUNATICS' LABOUR.
50. Lahore. — The profits of the factory show a farther increase in 1896.
They amounted to Rs. 2,015-8-1, compared with Rs. 1,314-0-6 in 1895, an excess
of Rs. 701-7-7. The garden produce was valued at Rs. 666-0-7, the sum of Rs.
116 representing sales to the public. This latter source of income has not proved
quite a success so far. This income from the garden will probably never be
great, because the asylum is remotely situated, and also because so many
other and more convenient sources of supply are available to the public. The
average number of lunatics employed on labour was 193.35 ; males 169.40 and
females 23.95.
51. Delhi—In this asylum also there has been a satisfactory improve-
ment in the profits. In 1896 they amounted to Rs. 1,166-8-0, compared with
Rs. 793-4-5 in 1895, an increase of Rs. 373-3-7. On an average, 28.80 males
and 5.53 females were employed during the year on remunerative labour and
15 on unremunerative labour. The garden is in a very prosperous condition.
BUILDINGS.
52. A few alterations were made in the Lahore Asylum building during
1896. A small cook-house was built for the hospital, and a much needed bath-
room was provided, in which it is possible to give a hot bath and to wash
weak patients without exposing them to the risk of a chill. A night latrine was
also built for the hospital ward. One large ward was divided into two, and
one-half of it was fitted with stoves. It is used as a day-room in the cold
weather, where old and weak patients can be kept warm and comfortable.
The hospital ward was furnished with stoves in the same way.
53. No change was made at Delhi.
54. The question of re-building the Lahore Asylum, so as to accom-
modate its own and the Delhi inmates, is under consideration.
ESTABLISHMENT.
55. The Superintendent of the Lahore Asylum reports unfavourably on
the establishment. Fines to the amount of Rs. 68 were inflicted for neglect and
carelessness.
56. At Delhi, although better rates of pay have enabled the Superinten-
dent to get a somewhat better class of men, there is much room for improvement.
Dr. Dennys expresses the opinion that until the Lunatic Asylum warders
are placed on the same footing as Jail warders it will be impossible to get good
men to serve.
