Annual Reports.—
Report on the Lunatic Asylums in the

Bombay Castle,
No. 4049
24th July 1897.
Letter from the Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay, No. S.B.—269,
dated the 23rd June 1897—
Submitting the annual report on the Lunatic Asylums in the Bombay Presidency for
the year 1896.
RESOLUTION.—The figures in the report show a slight increase during the
year under nearly all heads such as the total population, the average daily
strength, the number of daily average sick and of deaths, and the total
expenditure and cost per head of daily average strength. The report is, however,
generally satisfactory, and Government have no special remarks to make
except that the plans and estimates for improving the defects in the Lunatic
Asylum at Ratnágiri referred to in paragraph 4 of the report were sanctioned
under Government Resolution (Public Works Department) No. 126-A.—465,
dated the 22nd March 1897, and that in future reports Statement VI should be
in the revised form, a copy of which was forwarded to the Surgeon General with
Government Resolution No. 1345, dated the 11th March 1897.

No. S.B./298 OF 1898.
From
THE SURGEON-GENERAL WITH THE
GOVERNMENT OF BOMBAY ;
To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
General Department,
Bombay.
Office of the Surgeon-General
with the Government of Bombay :
Bombay, 12th April 1898.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward, for the information of Government, the
Annual Administration Report on the Lunatic Asylums of the Bombay Pre-
sidency for the year 1897.
2. The Public Works Department have carried out the usual repairs during
the year under review.
3. At Colába, the cost of petty repairs to the buildings amounted to
Rs. 3,819-7-6, and the cost of providing semi-permanent huts for the asylum
servants, in lieu of those that were condemned as old and insanitary, was
Rs. 1,940-10-9, making a total of Rs. 5,760-2-3 as compared with Rs. 2,811-1-5
in the previous year.
4. At Ratnágiri, all the asylum buildings are in good order, with the
exception of the urinals in the sleeping barracks which are objectionable and
detrimental to the health of the insanes. Plans and estimates for new urinals
are being prepared by the Public Works Department, and will be submitted to
Government for sanction on receipt. The works mentioned in paragraph 4 of
of my last report have been completed.
5. No additions or alterations were made in the buildings of the Poona
Lunatic Asylum during the year.
6. At Dhárwár, the openings in the wall of the male day-barrack, which
looked on to the female yard, were blocked up, and two latrines of Government
type for servants were constructed, the cost being met from the discretionary
grant at my disposal. It is necessary that a wall should be constructed in place
of the existing palings on the sides of the male and female yards facing the
main and the jail roads, as the present arrangement is both insecure and objec-
tionable, owing to the proximity of the roads in question.
7. At Ahmedabad, improvements in the ventilation, &c., to the main
latrines in use in the asylum have been made, and three additional fixed presses
provided in the store-room to complete the requirements. The cost of both these
works was defrayed out of the discretionary grant at my disposal.
8. There has been no change in the buildings of the Sir Cowasji Jehángir
Lunatic Asylum at Hyderabad. The necessity of raising the outer walls of the
asylum and the inner enclosures is still urged by the Superintendent, as at
present they are too low to prevent the escape of lunatics.
9. The water-supply was good and abundant. At Colába the auxiliary
tank was almost always full and met the requirements of the institution. At
Ratnágiri the supply for gardening purposes is not sufficient. The Poona

admitted during the year under review. The total number of Christians
admitted was 64, of whom 44 were Europeans, 4 Eurasians and 16 Native
Christians. Hindus numbered 138, Mahomedans 72 and other castes 19. Of
the 44 European insanes, 36 were military men (from Bombay 18, Bengal 4,
Madras 5 and the Punjab 9), 7 civilians (from Bombay 5, Bengal 1 and the
Punjab 1), and one was a sailor from the Bombay Harbour.

largest number of admissions, viz. 50. Beggars and mendicants numbered 38,
military soldiers 36, merchants and traders 23, domestic servants 16, artisans
and clerks 11 each, and students 10. In 39 cases the occupation was not ascer-
tained and 19 had no occupation.

between 40 and 60, and 4 (males and females 2 each) above 60 years of age.

With reference to paragraph 7 of Government Resolution No. 2714, dated
2nd July 1894, General Department, I beg to state, for the information of Gov-
ernment, that I have nothing more to add than what has been stated in my
Annual Report on the Asylums of the Bombay Presidency for the year 1895,
re the fluctuations in expenditure under various heads in the different asylums,
as the remarks therein made equally apply for the year under report.
Statement No. X shows the sanctioned establishment as it stood on 31st
December 1897. The monthly cost was Rs. 3,993-8-0 against Rs. 4,145-8-0
in the previous year.
Statement No. XI gives receipts and expenditure of the Manufacturing
Department. The total credits amounted to Rs. 3,715-15-5 and debits to
Rs. 2,297-4-5, giving a profit of Rs. 1,418-11-0 against Rs. 1,223-12-1 in 1896.
The average number of insanes employed during the year was 300.7 males
and 66.2 females—total 366.9, as compared with 351.0 (males 288.9 and females
62.1) in the previous year. In calculating the percentage of lunatics employed,
those employed as supplementary servants of the asylums have also been
included in this statement, but the estimated value of their labour has not been
taken into account.

Statement No. XII gives the condition of the lunatics as to caste, sex
and marriage, and is summarized in the following tables :—

Statement No. XIII shows particulars regarding criminal insanes.
The nature of the crimes were theft 31, culpable homicide amounting to murder
45, culpable homicide not amounting to murder 13, attempting suicide 2,
voluntarily causing grievous hurt 17, house-breaking 8, mischief and assault 7
and miscellaneous offences 19.
12. The official visitors were regular in their attendance at all the asylums.
13. Owing to his heavy office duties consequent on the Plague and to his
transfer to Bombay as Surgeon-General in the end of October, the Sir Cowasji
Jehángir Lunatic Asylum at Hyderabad was not inspected by the Principal
Medical Officer, Sind District. On the 20th November 1897 I inspected
the Poona Lunatic Asylum and found its management to be efficient. The
premises are kept in good order, but I consider that the buildings are ill-arranged
and in several respects defective. The latrines are faulty in construction and
in bad repair, and I disapprove of the earthen floors, which should be of some
impermeable material.
11
14. The death of my predecessor, together with greatly increased work in my
own office and as a member of the Bombay Plague Committee in connection with
the Plague epidemic, prevented inspection of any of the other lunatic asylums
in the Presidency.
15. So far as I have been able to judge, all the Superintendents of Asylums
have worked with zeal and efficiency.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. BAINBRIDGE, M. D.,
Surgeon-Major-General,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bombay.
