REPORT
ON
THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
For the year 1891.
RANGOON : PRINTED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT, GOVERNMENT PRINTING, BURMA.
MARCH 1892.
[ Price,—Eight annas. ]
RESOLUTION
ON THE
REPORT ON THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
For the year 1891.
Extract from the proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Burma, in the Judicial Department,—No. 9K.-6,
dated the 25th March 1892.
READ—
Report on the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum for the year 1891.
RESOLUTION.—During the year the internal management of the Asylum was
carried on with the same establishment as in previous years. Towards the close of
the year proposals were made for strengthening the staff of the institution by the
appointment of a Resident Assistant Surgeon to ensure that more time than a busy
Civil Surgoon can spare and more skill than a Hospital Assistant can command
should be devoted to medical attendance on the inmates. The proposal has re-
ceived the sanction of the local Government but, owing to the depletion of the
Provincial Medical Department, the services of an officer of the class required
have not yet been made available for the appointment. When the present Over-
seer can be suitably provided for an Apothecary should take his place. The Chief
Commissioner is glad to observe that the number of deaths and the number of
admissions to hospital were much less in 1891 than in 1890. The Asylum was,
as in the past, overcrowded on the criminal side during the year, and the number
of criminal lunatics that had to be confined in the Rangoon Jail for want of proper
accommodation in the Asylum increased steadily. The reasons for this increase
were the same as in 1890.
2. At the commencement of the year there were 251 lunatics, of whom
225 were males and 26 females, confined in the Asylum. The admissions during
the year aggregated 84 (70 males and 14 females), and 59 of the inmates were
discharged during the same period. There were 22 deaths against 40 in the
preceding year, and the year closed with a population of 254 (232 males and 22
females), being three more than at the close of 1890. The decrease in the
number of deaths is satisfactory : the number of admissions to hospital was 75
against 136 in the previous year. Of the total number in confinement at the
end of the year 92 were criminal and 162 were civil lunatics.
3. The expenditure of the year amounted to Rs. 28,342, or Rs. 715 more
than in 1890. The increase in contingent expenditure from Rs. 872 to Rs. 1,152
needs explanation. The cost of diet also rose from Rs. 14,141 to Rs. 15,168
owing to the increased price of rice. The average cost of each lunatic rose from
Rs. 106 to Rs. 114. The income from lunatic labour was Rs. 5,810. This was
Rs. 453 less than in the previous year, the decrease being due to the loss of a mar-
ket for baskets and brooms. The average number of lunatics employed on labour
was only 219 against 233 in 1890. The profits of manufacture fell from Rs.
5,545 to Rs. 4,008.
( 2 )
4. The detailed statement of expenditure does not show the amount spent
on the maintenance and repair of the Asylum buildings. Several matters in con-
nection with the condition of the buildings and enclosures need careful exami-
nation. Four lunatics escaped in 1891 and have not yet been re-captured, and
in 1890 there were three such escapes. Steps are now being taken to re-build and
raise the surrounding wall of the female enclosure, which is in a particularly bad
state of repair.
5. The report for the present year was circulated amongst the visitors
before submission to the local Government, and is said to have been approved
by them. The visitors have not, however, recorded any remarks on the report,
though they were invited to do so in paragraph 3 of last year's resolution.
By order of the Chief Commissioner,
D. H. R. TWOMEY,
Officiating Junior Secretary.
( 3 )
in regard to the number of lunatics remaining at the close of the year. Six more
lunatics were shown as in the asylum than was actually the case.
The figures have been corrected in this report.
On the 31st December 1890 there were under treatment 251 insanes, namely,
225 males and 26 females.
*Of these two were re-admissions,
one civil, one criminal.
During the present year there were 84 * admissions, 70 males and 14 fe-
males, making a total of 335 (295 males and 40 fe-
males). Of the 84 admissions 25 were in good health,
17 in fair health, and 42 in bad health.
In the year under review 32 were discharged cured (25 males and 7 females).
There were also discharged improved six (four males and two females) ; these
were handed over to their friends under section 10 of Act XXXVI of 1858. Dis-
charged otherwise there were 21 (16 males and five females) :
13 were transferred to the Madras Lunatic Asylum.
4 were transferred to the Dullunda Asylum.
4 escaped and have not as yet been recaptured (one criminal and three
civil).
The following table will show the statistics of admissions, discharges, and
deaths during 1891 :—

The daily average number of lunatics was 248.62, being 227.83 males and
20.79 females.
The highest number of inmates on any one day during the year was 255,
being 234 males and 21 females.
The following statements give the daily averages and the numbers treated,
discharged, and died since 1884 :—

From this it will be seen that the total treated is less than last year. This
is due to many of the lunatics being deported to India and to the few admissions
of criminals.

It will be thus seen that the mortality during this year is just under the average
of the last seven years and is little more than half the mortality of last year.

The daily average is more than that of the previous seven years, but less
than that of last year from the causes already mentioned.
There have been four escapes during the year, three civil lunatics and one
criminal. None of these men have been re-captured, although information was
given to the police at once. For negligence in this connection one of the peons
was dismissed and others heavily fined.
Statement II shows the number of criminal lunatics under treatment. On
the 1st January 1891 there were 93 criminals, namely, 87 males and six females.
During the present year there were admitted five, namely, four males and
one female, also one male re-admitted, making a total of 99, namely, 92 males
and seven females.
There were three discharged; two cured and transferred to the Rangoon
Central Jail, and one escaped.
Four died during the year, three males and one female, thus leaving on 31st
December 1891, 92 criminals (86 males and six females). The daily average
strength was 91.11 or 85.26 males and 5.85 females.
About 24 are certified sane and are only awaiting the completion of their
terms of detention.
The comparatively speedy recovery of some of the criminal lunatics lead to
the suspicion that they may never have been insane.
Statement III shows the residence, religion, and sex of those admitted
during the year.
As usual Rangoon gives the most admissions, 37, then Akyab 10, Moulmein
five, Prome, Minbu, and Mandalay three each, Letpadan, Bhamo, and Kyauksè two
each, and various other towns contribute one each.
As regards race the Buddhists head the list 45, then the Mahomedans 18,
Hindus 15, Europeans three, and East Indians three.
As regards sex it may be noticed that of the 84 admissions during the year
there were only 14 females, a small proportion.
The same is noticeable among the total criminal lunatics 99, and only
seven females.
Statement IV.—This shows the occupation of those admitted during the year.
The classification of admissions shows that the same occupations come in
very similar order as in previous years. Police sepoys, however, come fourth in
the list.
This may be due to the large increase in the force in Burma lately, and it
would be interesting to watch whether in future the proportion is in excess of
what obtains in the Police and Native Army in India.
( 8 )
The Hospital Assistant Jeycela Rao also has been attentive to the patients
in the hospital and has been careful in detecting cases of patients who begin to
fail in health and in giving them improved diet and treatment. Some of the
peons were careless and allowed escapes, but they were punished.
During the year there have been 12 monthly meetings of the Committee of
Visitors, when they have examined the accounts and inspected both the civil and
criminal lunatics as well as the asylum generally.
