There was thus a diminution of 35 patients at the end of the year, an
increase of 19 in the admissions, of 49 in the discharges otherwise than by
death, and a fall of 7 in the mortality in 1893 as compared with 1892. The
proportion of criminal to non-criminal lunatics on 31st December was 48.58
as compared with 47.21 in 1892.
