The Lieutenant-Governor notes with pleasure the steady rise in the profits from
manufactures at the Tezpur Asylum, from Rs. 2,500-10-3 in 1906 to Rs. 3,623-2-3
in 1908. He finds that during the same period the figures on the same account

Rs. 2,837-11-9.
Rs. 1,991-13-1.
Rs. 2,254-7-9.
Profits at Dacca have decreased largely since 1906. It is also observed that the
proportion of patients employed in the manufacturing department at Dacca is much
smaller than at Tezpur. In view of the increasing cost of maintenance and of the
satisfactory results at Tezpur, the Lieutenant-Governor draws the attention of the
Inspector General of Civil Hospitals to the matter.
5. During the period under review eight lunatics escaped, all from the Tezpur Asy.
lum, as against four from Tezpur and two from Dacca in the previous triennium,
Only two of these eight persons were recaptured. The Lieutenant-Governor desires that
cases of escape should be more fully reported and any indications of contributory
laxity of supervision brought to the notice of Government.
The occurrence of three cases of suicide at Dacca is a matter of regret, though
only one case appears to have been due to the negligence of the staff, and the warder
at fault was suitably punished.
6. The Inspector General complains that there has been no improvement in the
preparation of medical history sheets, although the attention of all committing officers
was drawn by Government in the "Resolution on the previous triennial report to the
necessity of making an exhaustive inquiry into every case. His Honour, while recog-
nising that there is very great difficulty in obtaining full and accurate histories of
lunatics, looking to the class of people concerned, agrees with the Inspector General
that such inquiries, the responsibility for which has been imposed on Magistrates by
the Government of India, should not be left entirely in the hands of subordinate police
officers, and that closer supervision is required. The Inspector General will be asked
whether the instructions annexed to the form of information which is required for
the complete preparation of the prescribed medical history sheet are adequate.
7. The Lieutenant-Governor is satisfied that the sanitary arrangements both at
Tezpur and Dacca are uniformly and carefully supervised and that the patients
have been treated with sympathy, their wants and comforts carefully considered and
only suitable employment given, but the arrangements at Tezpur for the detention of
female patients should be improved with as little delay as possible.
His Honour thanks Colonel Campbell for his interesting report, and for his care
of the Dacca Asylum while he was Civil Surgeon of that place. He notes with
satisfaction the commendation bestowed by the Inspector General of Civil Hospitals
on the officers in charge of the two institutions.
By order of the Lieutenant-Governor.

STATISTICAL RETURNS
OF THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN
EASTERN BENGAL AND ASSAM
FOR THE YEAR
1909,
WITH BRIEF EXPLANATORY NOTES.
INTRODUCTORY.
1. Lieutenant-Colonel E. A. W. Hall, I.M.S., held charge of the Asylum at Dacca
throughout the year except from the 19th July to the 19th October, when Captain
H. Innes, I.M.S., officiated. Major H. S. Wood, I.M.S., was in charge of the Tezpur
Asylum except during his absence on privilege leave from the 20th September to the
29th October, when 1st grade Assistant Surgeon Shasanka Mohan Mukherji acted.
GENERAL.
Admissions.
Statement No. I.
2. At the commencement of the year, the number of lunatics under confinement
was 486 against 474 in 1908. During the year there were
165 new admissions including re-admissions. Of these, 143
were males and 22 females. The total number of admis-
sions, both of criminal and non-criminal lunatics, into the Tezpur Asylum, was larger
than in any previous year. The districts of Sylhet, Dacca, Mymensingh and Faridpur
sent the greatest number of lunatics to the Dacca Asylum and the districts of
Darrang, Lakhimpur and Sibsagar to the Tezpur Asylum. The daily average number
rose from 480.33 in 1908 to 510.68 in 1909.
Re-admissions.
Statement No. I.
Re-admissions numbered 12 against 10 in the preceding year, and of these, 4
were criminals and 8 non-criminals. The criminal luna-
tics were re-admitted after trial and the non-criminal
lunatics, at intervals of 2 to 3 years after discharge.
Discharges.
Statement No. I.
The number of discharges (excluding 3 escapes) was 57 against 63 (excluding
2 escapes) in 1908, 42 or 8.22 per cent. of the daily
average number being discharged cured, and 15, who had
improved being made over to friends.
Escapes.
Statement No. I.
Three lunatics, 2 males and 1 female, escaped from the Tezpur Asylum and are
still at large. One male lunatic escaped while at work
in the sugar cane field and the other from inside the
stockade, when the lunatics were being locked up after
their evening meal. The female lunatic, who was a criminal, made her escape from
the night latrine through the hole below the seat which, being old and corroded, she
managed to widen. In every case a careful search was made by the Asylum servants
and the escapes reported to the District Magistrate ; where the keepers were in fault
they were punished with fine. No escapes were reported from the Dacca Asylum.
Admissions classified according
to (a) criminals and non-criminals.
3. The year opened with 244 criminal lunatics confined in the two asylums
against 248 in 1908. The numbers admitted and re-ad-
mitted during the year were 66 and 4, respectively, against
39 and 7 in the previous year.
(b) Nationality, religion, sex and
residence.
Statement No. III.
Out of a total of 165 admissions and re-admissions, 112 were natives of the pro-
vince, 35 belonged to other provinces and the residences of
the remaining 18 could not be ascertained. As to caste,
106 were Hindus, 53 were Muhammadans and 6 were of
other castes. The proportion of males to females was
6.5 to 1.
3
The expenditure under clothing and bedding in the Tezpur Asylum increased
from Rs. 1,117-1-6 to Rs. 1,479-11-0, the number of inmates being larger than in the
previous year.
An extra male keeper was entertained in the Tezpur Asylum during the year.
As regards profits on manufactures, the Dacca Asylum shows a slight improve-
ment, while there is a very slight decrease at Tezpur (from Rs. 3,623-2-3 in 1908 to
Rs. 3,504-10-3 in 1909) which is explained to be due to the fall in the price of jute and
to the high price of coal which is largely used in manufacturing bricks.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Accommodation.
6. The capacity of the Dacca Asylum calculated at 50 superficial feet per patient,
is for 238 males and 45 females, while the maximum
number confined in any one night was 262 males and 42
females. The daily average strength was 251 males and 39 females, and this shows
there was slight overcrowding throughout the year. Attempts are being made to find
friends or relations who would take over harmless non-criminal lunatics.
The capacity of the Tezpur Asylum is for 133 males and 33 females while the
maximum number confined in any one night was 200 males and 42 females. Ap-
parently, there was great overcrowding and extra accommodation is required. I have
already submitted proposals to Government for some improvements, and plans and
estimates are in coarse of preparation in respect of other additions and alterations
which are urgent.
7. I may add I have been thoroughly satisfied with the working of both Asylums
during the year.
