RESOLUTION.
JUDICIAL (CRIMINAL) DEPARTMENT.
Dated Naini Tal, the 12th June 1901.
READ—
The Report and Returns of the Lunatic Asylums in the North-Western Provinces and Oudh for the
year ending 31st December 1900, submitted by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals.
OBSERVATIONS.—The report, which was due on the 1st March,
was received on the 15th April, or one day later than last year.
2. The population of the asylums was practically stationary, being
1,115 at the beginning and 1,112 at the end of the year. The daily
average of inmates of the asylums (1,124) was higher than in the pre-
ceding year (1,083), but was well within the accommodation, which pro-
vides for 1,260 lunatics. The limit of accommodation for male inmates
in the Benares and Lucknow Asylums was, however, reached, and admis-
sions of criminal lunatics were temporarily stopped at the Benares and
Agra Asylums. There were on 31st December 1900 seven European
or Eurasian lunatics in the Bareilly Asylum, eight in the Benares, and
one in the Agra Asylum. Government has now sanctioned the pro-
posal that the buildings already erected at Agra in connection with the
project for an amalgamated asylum be made ready at once for occupation
by European and Eurasian insanes.
3. The number of deaths in the asylums rose from 72 in 1899 to
82 in 1900, of which 21 were due to phthisis, 11 to anæmia and debility,
and 10 to dysentery. On the other hand, the daily average sick fell from
93.19 to 89.46. The death rate in the Lucknow Asylum (9.97) showed no
decrease, and the health of the Bareilly Asylum was unsatisfactory. The
number of deaths at Bareilly (32) was the largest recorded for many
years, cholera and phthisis being responsible for 6 and 10 deaths re-
spectively. At the end of the year 12 cases of the latter disease were
under treatment. The Superintendent considers that until insanes
affected by it can be completely isolated the disease must spread. The
matter seems to require the attention of the Inspector-General of Civil
Hospitals, and the transfer of European lunatics to Agra may perhaps
enable the Superintendent to carry out the necessary segregation of
patients.
4. The proportion of cases in asylums in which the cause of
insanity is unknown has been reduced from 51.15 to 49.63 per cent., and
it is satisfactory to note that of the cases newly admitted the cause has
been recorded in 140 out of a total of 243 admissions. It is observed
that while at Bareilly 63 out of 89 cases were diagnosed, the Superin-
tendents of the other three asylums were successful in only about half
the cases admitted.
( 2 )
5. Owing to high prices and a large population, the cost of main-
tenance of the lunatics amounted to Rs. 81,548, or an increased expen-
diture of Rs. 11,660. On the other hand, the sum contributed by the
friends of European and Eurasian lunatics (Rs. 2,389) showed a consider-
able advance on the contribution of the previous year (Rs. 1,563), and
the cost of these lunatics to Government was reduced from Rs. 110-7-4
to Rs. 70-14-8 per head. The most important work carried out during
the year was the introduction of the municipal filtered water-supply
into the Benares Asylum. Buildings for European and Eurasian
lunatics were completed at Agra. These will eventually form part
of a Central Lunatic Asylum at that place under the charge of a
full-time Superintendent, to whose appointment the sanction of the
Secretary of State has been obtained. The plans of the other new
buildings required for this asylum were discussed in view of modern
requirements by a conference held at Agra during 1900, and the
Government have already passed orders upon recommendations then
made.
6. The amount realized by asylum industries, which was Rs. 9,516
in 1898 and Rs. 6,017 in 1899, fell to Rs. 3,036 in 1900, mainly owing
to the Bareilly Asylum, which used to show a large profit in connection
with the Dairy Farm, showing a loss. In the Benares, Agra, and
Lucknow Asylums respectively Rs. 1,212, Rs. 1,115, and Rs. 929 were
realized.
7. Attention was called by a regrettable incident in the
Benares Asylum to the insufficiency of the warder establishment.
On the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals
the Government has now ordered the strength of the female warder
establishments in the four asylums in these Provinces to be raised to
the proportion of 1 to every 10 female insanes. Further information
has been called for with reference to a proposal to entertain a special
staff for night patrol, such as is, it is said, established in asylums in the
Madras Presidency.
8. Appendix A contains the usual report on the Dairy Farm
attached to the Bareilly Asylum. There was heavy mortality among
the cattle, and the net result of the year's working, including this
diminution of stock, was a loss of Rs. 2,445-5-1. The Government
has for some years been of opinion that the charge of a large dairy
has occupied the attention of the Deputy Superintendent to the
detriment of his duties in the management of the asylum proper.
Embezzlements occurred during 1900 in regard to the issue of
rations to the lunatics and the feed of the dairy cattle, and the
Lieutenant-Governor concurred with the Inspector-General of Civil
Hospitals that a change in the constitution of the staff was necessary.
Arrangements have accordingly been made for the appointment
as Deputy Superintendent of a Military Assistant Surgeon who
will devote his whole time to the interests of the lunatics. The
retention of the Dairy Farm as a part of the asylum is still under
consideration.
