THE number of lunatics under restraint in the asylums in the United Provinces
in 1899 in comparison with the number in previous years is shown in the following
table. The proportion of insanes to population under restraint in India is remark-
ably small as compared with that in England and the Colonies and in European
States.

2. There was an asylum population of 1,030 at the beginning of the year, or
54 less than in the previous year, and 1,115 insanes remained under treatment on the
31st December, the latter figure showing a considerable increase as compared with
the average of the preceding three years. The daily average number of inmates rose
from 1,065 in 1898 to 1,083 in 1899.
3. There were 319 admissions including 20 readmissions, a great increase in
the numbers admitted during the three previous years. Of the 20 readmissions, two
were admitted into the Benares Asylum, one being a criminal lunatic who escaped
from that asylum during 1898. He was captured at his home in Bánda and was
subsequently transferred to the Benares Central Prison under the orders of Govern-
ment. The other readmission was that of a criminal lunatic who was discharged to
stand his trial at Cawnpore and after acquittal was readmitted into the Benares
Asylum. In the remaining 18 cases the causes of readmissions were recorded as
follows: —
Use of bhang, gánja, charas and spirit
...
Hereditary
...
...
...
Grief
...
...
...
Excessive heat
...
...

4. One hundred and twenty-four, or 9.19 per cent of the insane were recorded
as cured against 134, or 10.4 per cent in 1898.
5. Thirty-one lunatics were made over to friends, and of the number, 26 were
returned as "improved," against 32 and 24, respectively, in 1898.
6. Five of the insanes were discharged "otherwise," two from Agra and three
from the Benares Asylum. Of the Agra cases, one, a leper, was transferred to the
1
( 2 )
asylum for lepers in the District Jail, Rae Bareli, and the other was sent to the local
poorhouse to be cared for.
Of the Benares cases discharged otherwise, one Durga Teli, a criminal lunatic,
was transferred to the Central Prison, Benares, prior to discharge.
The second, Madan Mohan, a criminal lunatic who escaped from the asylum in
1898, was recaptured in January 1899 and then transferred to the Central Prison,
Benares.
The third, Tahdil Singh, a criminal lunatic, was admitted to the Benares, and
subsequently transferred to the Lucknow, Asylum.
7. Four lunatics escaped during the year. Two were recaptured, one within
two hours of, and the other some days after, the occurrence, and have not been
recorded as "escapes."

the support of European and Eurasian lunatics, and the balance, Rs. 1,767-5-8, or
Rs. 110-7-4 per head, was met by Government. The causes of insanity assigned in
these cases were recorded as follows :—
