35. The orders given in G. O No. 3360/X-BX-11-1-3, dated 5th August 1898, regard-

Different sorts, of games, musical instruments, etc., were provided for natives; and
books, papers, etc., procured for the European lunatics. At Bareilly one of the
European female lunatics was allowed out of the asylum for exercise. On festivals
sweetmeats, fruit and extra diet were issued. The general effect of such indulgences
was beneficial.
36. The provisions of section 15 of Act XXXVI of 1858 were enforced as
far as possible during the year.
37. Mr. Pritchard, the Deputy Superintendent of the Bareilly Asylum, was
permitted to resign the service on 17th June, and Mr. Grant was appointed in his
place. The subordinates of the asylums worked satisfactorily, and the following
were favourably reported on by the Superintendents:—
Mr. J. Campbell, Deputy Superintendent, Benares Asylum.
Mr. Bernard, Deputy Superintendent, Agra Asylum.
Mr. Grant, Deputy Superintendent, Bareilly Asylum.
Indraman, Deputy Superintendent, Lucknow Asylum.
