LAHORE :
The 1st January 1883.
R. GRAY,
Superintendent, Lunatic Asylum.
( 2 )
A very remarkable man was sent from Rohtak, discharged ultimately among the " no
insanes," He was a Sirbanghi, and of most respectable and venerable presence, and was put
in jail for roasting a piece of a child and eating it. His excuse for this cannibalism was, that
being a Sirbanghi, a man who depended on whatever Providence or chance might cast in his
way as food, he had an equal right with the jackal which he found eating the body : his repast
was, however, disturbed by the bereaved parent, who handed him over to the police. The
Sirbanghi was then sent to the asylum, but not proving insane was sent back to Rohtak.
This Sirbanghi faqír was one of the last of a class of mendicants who existed numerously in the
Sikh times in the Punjab. He stated that he had eaten dead bodies twice before, and that no
flesh tasted better : he ate snakes raw or roasted, a large cobra or " krait" producing a pleasant
degree of " nasha."
Alleged causes.
VI. From physical causes, 7—gánja, 3; fever, 2,
epilepsy 2. From moral causes, 2—grief, 1, loss of
property, 1.
Cost per head.
VII. Rupees. 118-8-11, the increase being due to
extra food ordered, warder's clothing being supplied, and
bullocks and seed for the garden purchased.
Money realised from paying patients.
VIII. From relatives Rs. 29 ; from Ajmere, Rs.
1,299.
Employment.
IX. On grinding corn for the asylum consumption, dasúti-weaving, cotton-spinning
gardening and pounding surkhi. Out of a total of 71, 55
were able to do some sort of work.
Profit on labour.
X. The net profit on manufactured goods was Rs. 352-14-1 ; value of garden produce
supplied, Rs. 200-15-4. A large plot of ground has been
planted with potatoes, which was cleared of stones and old
foundations by asylum labor. The grounds outside were also fenced by the lunatics during
the year.
Garden.
XI. The garden is very good, and produces quantities
of the best vegetables.
Diet.
XII. Half a chittak of ghi was given in addition
to the usual scale during the cold season. The food is
ample and of good quality.
Buildings.
XIII.—New quarters for the Hospital Assistant were
built during the year just outside the main gate.
The Deputy Superintendent's quarters have again been repaired and added to ; these
quarters are always being repaired, and it would be cheaper in the long run to puH them down
and build them properly once and for all. Minor repairs were executed as required.
Establishment.
XIV. The working was not satisfactory during the year, and consequently the profits
have fallen. Mr. Cousins became extremely ill, and had
to get sick leave : he was relieved by Mr. Bernard on the
17 th October.
I regard Mr. Cousins' departure as somewhat fortunate for reasons which need not be
recapitulated. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bernard will continue to work as well as he has
hitherto done, and that next year will show a marked improvement.
The Hospital Assistant, Sadat Ali, has attended to his duties with assiduity, and the
subordinates have, with hardly an exception, done their work well, and with humanity and
patience.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN THE
PUNJAB
FOR THE YEAR
1883.
Published by Authority.
Lahore:
PRINTED AT THE PUNJAB GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT PRESS,
1884.
No. 424, dated Lahore, 7th June 1884.
From—C. L. TUPPER, Esquire, Offg. Secretary to Government, Punjab,
To—The Surgeon-General, Punjab.
I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 1014,
dated the 10th of April 1884, submitting with your remarks the Reports on the
Lunatic Asylums at Lahore and Delhi for the year 1883. In reply, I am
directed to convey the following observations.
2. In the letter from the Government of India, No. 321, dated the 31st
of August 1883, a copy of which was communicated to your office by the
endorsement from this Department, No. 625, dated the 14th of September 1883,
it was requested that the number of paying patients in each asylum might be
clearly stated in the body of the Report. This order having been overlooked,
I am directed to request that the required information may be submitted to
this office at an early date for communication to the Government of India.
3. It is satisfactory to observe that the cost per head of patients at the
Delhi Asylum has been reduced by a sum of Rs. 7-9-2 per annum. The
expenditure at Delhi is still, however, much higher than at Lahore, where the cost
per patient for the year under review amounted to Rs. 95-6-9 only, as against
Rs. 115-9-10 at Delhi. This marked difference in the cost of the two institu-
tions calls for further explanation than has yet been given, and I am therefore
to request that you will be good enough to make enquiries in view to ascer-
taining the precise causes of the high rate per patient at Delhi, and mention
the result of the investigation in your next annual report. It is hoped that
in the meanwhile a further reduction of expenditure in the cost of maintain-
ing the lunatics in the Delhi Asylum may be found feasible.
4. The Lieutenant-Governor regrets that it has not yet been found possi-
ble to carry out the proposal to supply the asylum at Lahore with water from
the Municipal Water-works, and he will be glad if you will enquire into the
matter and take it up in communication with the Municipality and visitors
of the asylum. It is obviously desirable that a good supply of water should
be provided, and if the comparatively expensive scheme of laying on a main
from the water-works cannot be afforded, perhaps it may be practicable to
make some cheaper and more effectual arrangement than the present one of
bringing drinking water by hand from wells outside the asylum.
5. The attention of the Public Works Department will be invited to the
delay in the construction of the ward for European lunatics and the criminal
work-shed, which have been sanctioned for the Lahore Asylum. That Depart-
ment will also be asked whether some additional separate cells, said to be
urgently required in the Lahore Asylum for the accommodation of violent
patients, can be provided.
6. The female warder of the Lahore Asylum, who is reported to be old
and past her work, is about to be retired on the usual gratuity.
7. The very unfavorable remarks on Mr. Cousins, the Deputy Superin-
tendent of the Delhi Asylum, will be dealt with separately.
