LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BENGAL.
it in all these respects. The figures for the Berhampore asylum are only for five months,
and not comparable with those of the other asylums.
Manufactures.
23. Manufactures.—The statement which follows shows the average number of persons
employed in asylums throughout the year, and the results of their employment in as far as
that is represented by money. This table represents the profitable labor performed by lunatics
in asylums. There is in addition to this a large amount of unprofitable labor performed
by lunatics, consisting of services done for the asylums, of which this statement takes no
account. The statement is the first of the kind which has been drawn up, and exhibits
satisfactory results.

Establishment.
24. Establishment.—The usual statement of sanctioned establishment, prepared in
accordance with the orders of the Government of India, is placed in the Appendix. No
changes of importance took place in the permanent establishment of any of the asylums.
Criminal lunatics.
25. Criminal Lunatics.—The foregoing paragraphs, and the tabular statements employed
to illustrate them, refer to lunatics of every description. The tabular statement which follows
shows the statistics of criminal lunatics confined in asylums during the year. The average
number of these in confinement, during 1874 only, exceeded that of the previous year by two.
This is accounted for by the circumstance that the admissions were fewer by 10 than those
of the preceding year; the discharges and deaths exceeding the admissions—a very unusual
thing with this class of insanes.

Return of Criminal Lunatics in the Asylums of Bengal for the year 1874.
