ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION
AND
PROGRESS REPORT
ON THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN THE BOMBAY PRESIDENCY
FOR THE YEAR 1888.
BY
J. PINKERTON, M.D.,
SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF BOMBAY.
M. A. T. COLLIE, M.B.,
SECRETARY.
Bombay:
PRINTED AT THE GOVERNMENT CENTRAL PRESS.
1889.
No. S.B./226 OF 1889.
From
THE SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE
GOVERNMENT OF BOMBAY;
To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
GENERAL DEPARTMENT,
Bombay.
Bombay, 20th March 1889.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the
Governor in Council, the Administration Report on the Lunatic Asylums of
this Presidency for the year 1888.
2. During the year no additions have been made to the Asylums. The
dietaries of the Colába and Ratnágiri Lunatic Asylums were experimentally
changed during the year as sanctioned in Government Resolutions, General De-
partment, Nos. 2959 of 24th September 1887 and 956 dated 24th March 1888;
the adoption of the revised Colába diet was formally sanctioned after six months'
trial by Government Resolution No. 1600, dated 16th May 1888. The Ratná-
giri dietary is still subject to a second six months' trial—vide Government Reso¬
lution No. 4123, dated 22nd November 1888. The whole subject of Asylums
dietaries is engaging my attention at present, and I hope shortly to submit
proposals for the consideration of Government.
3. The arrangements for supplying water to Colába Asylum are very
defective. In Ratnágiri the supply is still inadequate, but proposals are under
consideration for improving it. In Ahmedabad the deepening of one of the wells
warded off an impending water famine.
4. On the Statements I beg to make the following remarks:
Statement No. I.—The total population of the Lunatic Asylums in 1888
was 949 against 913 in 1887,—an increase of 36. During the year 266 insanes
were admitted and 188 discharged, against 242 and 176 respectively in 1887.
Of those discharged 72 were cured, 96 improved, and 20 not improved. The
daily average strength was 679.3 or virtually the same as in 1887. 541 males
and 134 females remained under treatment on the 31st December 1888 against
557 males and 126 females on the same date in 1887. The daily average
number of sick shows an increase from 74 to 79. The total number of deaths
was 86 against 54, giving a percentage of 12.6 on the daily average strength
against 7.9 in the previous year. In Colába the sick rate was 3.5 above the
mean of the previous ten years, but not so high as in 1885 and 1886; there
were 51 deaths in Colába.
Statement No. II.—22 criminal lunatics were admitted during the year, less
by 2 than in the previous year. 7 were discharged and 15 died, leaving 101
under treatment on the 31st December 1888, the same as in 1887. Of those
remaining 91 were males and 10 females.
Statement No. III.—Of the 266 insanes admitted during the year 216 were
males and 50 females ; these are further subdivided by religion and race : 58
Europeans, 7 Eurasians, and 13 Native Christians, 110 Hindus, 61 Mahomedans,
and 15 Pársis, and 2 of other castes.
Statement No. IV.—Shows in detail the pursuits of the various insanes
before they lost their reason. Soldiers head the list with 45 admissions, then
follow 29 traders, 27 labourers, 25 beggars, 22 cultivators, 19 servants, the
remainder being of various or unknown occupations.

former) than at Hyderabad ; the expenditure on these items must always vary
according to requirements, but as it appears high at both these institutions and
also at Ratnágiri, I have addressed the Superintendents on the subject. Con-
tingencies are also heavy at Poona and Ratnágiri as compared with Hyderabad;
in Ratnágiri these expenses are likely to be heavy until the grounds, &c., are
brought into a proper condition; at both Poona and Ratnágiri water rates of
Rs. 155 and Rs. 144, respectively, are included in the contingent expenses; the
cost of supplying water by carts to Colába during the hot months was Rs. 256 ;
at the other asylums no water rates are paid.
Statement No. X—Shows the sanctioned establishment of Asylums. The
monthly cost was Rs. 4,104-8 as compared with Rs. 4,096-8 in 1887 and
Rs. 3,871-8 in 1886.
Statement No. XI—Is the financial statement of manufactures and shows
receipts and expenditure on account of manufactures. About half the daily
average strength was employed in various occupations, the others being unable
for different reasons to perform any task. The total credits amounted to
Rs. 6,479 and debits Rs. 2,397, giving Rs. 4,082 as credits on profits ; the net
profit was Rs. 4,059-15-10.

Statement No. XIII—Gives particulars regarding criminal insanes. The
average daily strength of criminal insanes was 86.4 males and 9.7 females—a
reduction of 6.1 on 1887. The nature of the crimes were: theft 20, culpable homi-
cide amounting to murder 56, culpable homicide not amounting to murder 5,
suicide 7, voluntarily causing grievous hurt 14, housebreaking 4, mischief and
assault 9, miscellaneous offences 8. In the majority of instances the exciting
causes of the insane impulse were unknown, but of those that were known 14
were traceable to intoxicants, 4 each to emotional or moral causes and to heredi-
tary taint, and the others to disease.
5. Deputy Surgeon-General Turnbull inspected the Sir Cowasji Jehangir
Asylum in Hyderabad and reported it to be well managed by Surgeon-Major
Keith. I inspected the Asylums at Colába (Bombay), Ratnágiri, Dhárwár,
Poona, and Ahmedabad, and was well pleased with all I saw. All the Superin-
tendents have conducted their duties in a satisfactory manner. When making
my inspections I went carefully into the expenditure at each asylum.
I have the honour to be,.
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,

5. The increase in receipts from paying patients at Colába is observed with
satisfaction. The subject is important and should engage the special attention
of the Surgeon General. A scrutiny might with advantage be made of the cir-
cumstances in which insanes, other than criminals, have been or are in future
sent to the Asylums, with a view to taking steps to ensure that those whose con-
finement has been ordered under the Act at the instance of their friends or
relatives are paid for whenever possible.
6. If Public Works charges which are to a great extent of the nature of
capital expenditure and do not appear in the civil accounts as a debit to
" Lunatic Asylums" are omitted from consideration, and the net cost of each
Asylum is obtained, as would appear to be correct—at all events for purposes of
comparison—by deducting (1) receipts from paying patients and (2)net profit
on manufactures from the actual cash payments during the year, the figures for
net cost given in the table on page 3 of the Surgeon General's report will
undergo considerable modification, especially as regards the comparatively high
cost now shown for the Colába Asylum. As regards the cost at Poona Govern-
ment observe that considering the small number of patients, the expenditure on
"clothing and bedding" was extremely heavy and the attention of the Surgeon
General should be invited to the apparent connexion between this fact and the
recent application for an increase of the contract grant for this Asylum. At the
Dhárwár Asylum, the closing of which has been contemplated, the cost per head
was as usual high on account of the small number of patients. Hyderabad,
where expenditure consisted of little beyond salaries and cost of patients' diet,
continued to be the most economically managed of the Asylums.
