2. The year opened with 522 lunatics under confinement, viz., 445 males and 77
females. There were 148 admissions, including re-admissions
(131 males and 17 females), against 165 in 1909. Of these,
59 or 40 per cent. were criminal lunatics and the rest non-
criminal lunatics.
The number of admissions at Dacca was larger than in any previous year. The dis-
tricts of Dacca, Sylhet and Mymensingh furnished the largest numbers to the Dacca
Asylum, and the districts of Kamrup, Darrang, Sibsagar and Lakhimpur, to the Tezpur
Asylum. The total number of lunatics treated during the year was 670 against 651 in
1909 and the daily average strength rose from 510.68 to 524.89.
Re-admissions.
Statement No. I.
The number of readmissions was 10 against 12 in 1909. Of these 10, 2 were criminals
and 8 non-criminals. The criminal lunatics were re-admit-
ted after trial, and non-criminals, at intervals of 1 to 4
years.
Disharges.
Statement No. I.
The total number of discharges (excluding 2 escapes) was larger than in 1909,
being 88 against 57, and the number of recoveries, 53 against
42 or 10.10 per cent. of the daily average number. As
many as 34 harmless insanes were made over to their friends
from the Dacca Asylum and only 1 from the Tezpur Asylum.
Escapes.
Statement No. I.
During the year, 2 male lunatics, 1 criminal, 1 non-criminal, escaped from the
Tezpur Asylum through the bamboo palisading and are
still at large. In each case a careful search was made by
the Asylum servants and the escapes were immediately
reported to the District Magistrate. The keepers responsible were punished after inquiry.
There was no escape from the Dacca Asylum.
