Statement No. XIII. gives particulars regarding criminal lunatics. The
nature of crimes were theft 30, culpable homicide amounting to murder 47,
culpable homicide not amounting to murder 5, voluntarily causing grievous
hurt 4, attempt to commit suicide 14, house-breaking 5, mischief and assault 9
and other miscellaneous offences 18.
7. The official visitors attended regularly during the year, but at
Dhárwár it was found that there was not always present in the station a
sufficient number of visitors to form a quorum of three because during the fair
season many of them were absent on tour; Government in Resolution No. 713,
dated 3rd March 1892, sanctioned the addition of three more to the official list of
visitors. At Colába on the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Prisons,
the Superintendent of the Common Jail and the Superintendent of the House
of Correction were added to the list of official visitors, and a revised roster of
visitors was sanctioned by Government Resolution No. 4258, dated 8th Decem-
ber 1891.
8. Brigade Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes, while acting as Adminis-
trative Medical Officer, Sind, inspected the Hyderabad Lunatic Asylum, and
I inspected the Asylums at Colába, Poona, Ahmedabad, Ratnágiri and
Dhárwár. I am glad to be able again to report favourably on the very satis-
factory way in which the lunatic asylums have been administered during the
year by the Superintendents, who have all taken a deep interest in their duty
and have, I believe, done it well.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. PINKERTON, M.D., Surgeon Major-General,
Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay.

18th April 1892—Submitting the Annual Report on Lunatic Asylums in the Bombay
Presidency for the year 1891.
Letter from the Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay, No. S.B.—214, dated

Letter from the Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay, No. S.B.—217, dated
20th July 1892.
Letter from the Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay, No. S.B.—480, dated
12th September 1892—Submitting with reference to Government memorandum No. 2619,
dated 29th July 1892, a return extracted from the Administration and Progress Report
om the Lunatic Asylums for the year 1891, showing (a) the total number of paying
patients, (b) the total cost of maintaining them, (c) the cost per head, (d) the total
amount of fees received, and (e) the amount per head; and making remarks.
RESOLUTION.—The total population during the year under review was
961 against 1,006 in the previous year, the number of inmates at the commence-
ment and end of the year being 690 and 709 respectively.
2. The report shows that increased accommodation is being provided at
the Dhárwár Asylum, and that minor improvements have been undertaken or
carried out at the other asylums.
3. The net expenditure by Government amounted to Rs. 97,978-13-6, or
Rs. 4,968-2-11 more than in 1890, the increase being attributed mainly to
smaller receipts from paying patients and increased charges on account of works
done by the Public Works Department.
4. His Excellency the Governor in Council notices with satisfaction the
remarks made in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Report and the commendations
bestowed in paragraph 8 on the officers in charge of asylums.

No. S.B./428 OF 1893.
FROM
THE SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE
GOVERNMENT OF BOMBAY;
To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
General Department,
Bombay.
Bombay, 11th April 1893.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit for the information of Government my
Administration Report on the Lunatic Asylums for 1892.
2. The usual repairs have been carried out during the year and the asylums
have been kept in good order. At Ahmedabad the concrete drains for carrying
off storm water were completed in March and acted efficiently during last rains.
At Dhárwár the two additional night wards sanctioned by Government Resolu-
tion No. 451 C. W.—1581 of 19th September 1891, Public Works Department,
have been completed, but are not yet occupied because the alterations to the old
premises have not yet been finished. The floors of the new wards are of earth.
Some impermeable material, such as asphalte, should be substituted, so that the
wards can be washed. Two additional latrines in the male wards are required.
The enclosure of the compound sanctioned by Government Resolution No. 466 A
—1719 of 31st October 1892, Public Works Department, has not been begun.
At Ratnágiri the conversion of the Deputy Superintendent's quarters into an
additional barrack is being carried out by the Public Works Department. At
Hyderabad the outer south-east wall is now being completed by the Public
Works Department.
3. The water-supply is good at all the asylums and abundant for the
use of the patients, but in some cases not sufficient for gardening purposes.
At Colába, since the introduction of the Tánsa water, the supply has, unlike
former years, been ample. At Poona there was a diminished supply from the
irrigation canal for gardening purposes owing to scanty rainfall in 1891. At
Dhárwár an allotment of Rs. 320 was sanctioned from my discretionary grant
for two cisterns to store water for distribution to the cook-room, bathing plat-
forms and for drinking purposes. At Ratnágiri the quantity supplied by the
Municipality was 2,500 gallons per day as compared with 1,750 in the preceding
year instead of 3,000, which ought to be supplied.
4. The new diet scales sanctioned in Government Resolution No. 2077,
dated 10th June 1891, General Department, worked satisfactorily during the
year.
5. The annual grants sanctioned for the amusements and brightening the
lives of the inmates of the asylums have been carefully and judiciously ex-
pended by the Superintendents. The inmates appreciated the games, music,
pictures and sweetmeats provided for them from these grants.
6. During the year the following works were sanctioned from my discre-
tionary grant :—
Ratnágiri.—Rs. 175 for alterations in the central hall of Deputy
Superintendent's quarters to convert it into sleeping barracks for male civil
insanes.
Dhárwár.—Rs. 320 for water tanks as noted in paragraph 3 above.
Hyderabad.—Rs. 378 to complete the compound walls as noted in
paragraph 2 above.
7. The statements attached to this report give statistical information re-
garding the lunatics, and I beg to make the following general summaries on these
tables :—
B 1593—1
3
Statement No. VII exhibits the alleged causes of insanity among the
inmates. Of a total of 999 insanes, the cause was ascertained in a little more
than half the number (525 being known and 474 unknown causes). Of the
known causes 440 are attributed to physical and 85 to moral causes. Of the
former, the use of intoxicating drugs and abuse of spirits are alleged as the
causes in 219 cases, previous attack in 35, epilepsy in 31, fever in 30, destitution
in 22, masturbation in 12, syphilis in 7, injury to head, phthisis and child-birth
in 5 each, sun-stroke in 4, sexual excess, old age, climate and paralysis in 3 each,
and uterine disorder in 2. The disease was hereditary in 30 and congenital in
21 cases. Of the moral causes, grief contributes the largest number—52. Re-
ligion is the alleged cause in 10 cases, anger in 8, fear in 6, jealousy and loss
of money in 3 each and anxiety, study and excessive joy in 1 each. The following
are the causes, as far as is obtainable, leading to insanity confined for crimes
of violence:—
Gánja smoking ...
Opium eating ...
Charas smoking ...
Spirit drinking ...
Fever ... ...
Puerperal fever ...
Epilepsy ...

Statement No. VIII is a return of the sick treated in the asylum hospitals
for other diseases than insanity. On 1st January there remained 46 patients
under treatment, 481 were admitted, giving a total of 527, or 36 more than in
1891 and 13 less than in 1890. Of these, 368 were discharged cured, 1 was
transferred to the care of his relations, 1 was relieved and 112 died, leaving 45
under treatment at the close of the year. The daily average number of sick was
58.0 against 59.2 in the previous year. The chief causes of admissions were ague,
dysentery, debility, diarrhœa, influenza, remittent fever, phthisis, pneumonia,
bronchitis, epilepsy, paralysis and dropsy. Of the 112 deaths, 27 were due
to dysentery, 21 to diarrhœa, 13 to phthisis, 11 to remittent fever, 7 to pneu-
monia, 6 to debility, 4 each to influenza, old age and epilepsy, 3 to cholera, 2
each to tubercle of lungs, dropsy, apoplexy, paralysis and fatty degeneration of
heart, and 1 each to Bulbar paralysis and leucorrhœa.
The following table gives the ratio of deaths per mille to the average daily
strength and the total population of each of the asylums as compared with that
