STATISTICAL RETURNS
OF THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN
EASTERN BENGAL AND ASSAM
FOR THE YEAR
1907,
WITH BRIEF EXPLANATORY NOTES.
INTRODUCTORY.
THE Lunatic Asylum at Dacca was in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel It. N.
Campbell, I.M.S., from 1st January to 15th June, Major E. R. Parry, I.M.S., from 16th
to 18th June, Major A. R. S. Anderson, I.M.S., from 19th June to 5th October,
Lieutenant-Colonel R. N. Campbell, I.M.S., from 6th October to 7th November, Major
A. R. S. Anderson, I.M.S., from 6th November to the end of the year. The Asylum
at Tezpur was in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel J. W. U. Macnamara, I.M.S., up to the
24th May, and thereafter to the end of the year of Major H. S. Wood, I.M.S.
GENERAL.
Admissions.
Statement No. I.
2. The number of inmates remaining in both asylums on 1st January 1907, was
472 against 425 in 1906, the number of females (76)
being the same as in the two previous years. During the
year, 104 lunatics were admitted (including 9 re-admis-
sions) against 147 in 1906, both asylums sharing in the decrease. The unusual
increase in admissions in 1906 was explained in the report for that year. Though the
number of admissions was less, the total population treated was slightly greater, being
576 against 572, while the daily average number rose from 454.68 to 475.91. This
is explained by the fact that the number under detention at the commencement of
the year was larger than in 1906.
Re-admissions.
Statement No. I.
There were only 9 re-admissions, 5 at Dacca and 4 at Tezpur. Of these, 7 were
criminals and 2 non-criminals. Of the 7 criminals, 5 were
re-admitted after trial, one had a relapse in jail, and the
other was re-admitted 29 years after discharge. The
two non-criminals re-admitted had been discharged from the Dacca Asylum unrecovered
Discharges.
Statement No. I.
The number discharged was 55, including 3 escapes from the Tezpur Asylum,
against 72 (with 3 escapes) in 1906. Of this, 36, or 7.56
per cent. of the daily average number, were discharged
cured, 13 were discharged " improved, " and 3 were made
over to friends unimproved. There was no escape from the Dacca Asylum.
Admissions classified according to
(a) criminal and non-criminal
lunatics.
Statements Nos. I and II.
3. At the beginning of the year there were 240 criminal lunatics under confine-
ment, and 44 were admitted during the year, making a
total of 284, against 283 in 1906. The percentage of
criminal lunatics to the total admissions in 1907 was less
at Dacca, being 44.07, against 56.52 in 1906. but greater
at Tezpur, being 40.00 against 29.09. The daily average strength of criminal lunatics
was 243.43 against 229.88.
(b) Nationality, religion, sex, and
residence.
Statement No. III.
Out of a total of 104 admissions, 73 were natives of the province, 21 belonged to
other provinces, while the residences of the remaining 10
were not known. Of the total admissions, 71, or 68.27
per cent., were Hindus, 26, or 25 per cent., Muhammadans,
3, or 2.88 per cent., Christians, and the remaining 4, or
3.85 per cent., of other castes. The proportion of males to females was 7 to 1.
3
The following changes were made by the revision of the establishment of the
Tezpur Lunatic Asylum in 1907 :—
The pay of the compounder was raised from Rs. 12—1—15 to Rs. 15—1—20 ; that
of the jamadar was reduced from Rs. 15—1—20 to Rs. 12—1—15; that of
keepers was raised from Rs. 10 to Rs. 10—1—12 ; six temporary keepers
were taken into the permanent list; and one additional temporary male
keeper was sanctioned.
Manufactures yielded a profit of Rs. 3,051-11-7, against Rs. 5,338-6. There was
a small decrease in profits at the Dacca Asylum, from Rs. 2,837-11-9 in 1906 to
Rs. 1,991-13-1 in 1907, which is attributed to a fall in the dairy produce.
Accommodation
Statement No. I.
6. There was overcrowding in the Asylum at Dacca throughout the year, which
was relieved to some extent by the removal of suitable
cases to the new tubercle ward.
The Tezpur Asylum was also overcrowded, and Government has sanctioned
Rs. 8,000 for an additional pucca-walled iron-roofed barrack.
