ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM.
ha REPORT by the COUNTY COMMITTEE, as presented to
r:2_,eeneral Meeting of Subscribers, held within the Castle of Inver-
-7,, upon the 14th November, 1845.
gi a
The increasing prevalence of lunacy through the county of Inver-
nd the obligation upon the local authorities, to confine at the
afitentee of the parish of domicile, all persons thus dangerously
t,„„„, d, compelled this project as a matter of ordinary prudence, and
_net from all consideration of general philanthropy. Accordingly,
17_ the Annual County Meeting of the 30th April, 1643, the project
t,•'s itted to the public. It was resolved to endeavour to afford
im's_oenefit of the Institution to all the northern counties, standing,
4...“16Y did, Wider circumstances of equal necessity ; and a Committee
appointed to solicit subscriptions on this enlarged and general
~'"eng• They commenced their duties ; but circumstances for some
:rs were adverse ; and they had the deep misfortune to lose, almost
the outset of their labours, one of their most influential, zealous,
4,,,
k"ralued members, by the sudden death of Mr. Fraser, of Newton.
lfti'VY• alive to the true benevolence of the undertaking, he was
toT,og it the liberal assistance of his example and of his energies up
tifietelpi Period of his death; and that melancholy event naturally
~,ed, for a time, the exertions of those associated with him in the
itsnittee. Thus the project remained in temporary abeyance. But
eorrehted soon evident that unless active measures were again re-
-4.a:1 to, there could be no reasonable anticipation of a successful
tatte A Public meeting of the heritors, magistrates, and clergy, was
_ltecordingles, upon the 10th day of December, 1844, and the

Oats Acting Committee. They undertook the task. The funds at that
amounted to 1,5001., and to-day they stand on the list as 4,700/.

seas the canvass which is to be immediately commenced may be sue-

The Committee have no hesitation in stating to the sub-
-
eiberg their belief that the subscription will be soon considerably
fto Vecl. An important addition may be reasonably anticipated
eattirt et northern counties, and the result of an infiaential eommuni-
krtO With India may be looked for with confidence. In closing this
Lone°l' the subject, the Committee ;have to mention that,whilst in-
stdas°n, they had the advantage of communicating with the Lord
hieers°;!te upon the proposed scheme ;—that his Lordship became
be
nest • a subscriber, and that he obtained for the Institution the
.of the royal patronage. It is hoped that such royal counten,
PaaY be the means of assisting the subscription in directions
Nst:`„6therwise it might not have penetrated. In any event, it
ettaraLue undertaking with an additional interest and importance, and
•-se,,,,,h.tees to the public) an efficient constitution and management
ti teVlng as it does that that constitution shall receive the approval
sigh officers of the Crown.
s4\,,lue Committee have made it their endeavour to obtain the best
a 8 to the site of the proposed Institution. They have re-
q•eated ts
ket . -e assistance of br. Malcolm, of Perth, a gentleman eini-
tzr the treatment of the insane, and whose opinions were ma-
tioselt during an extensive continental tour amongst similar institu-
S 0 Preparatory to the erection of slurray's Asylum, in the neigh-'kin r`••is, of Perth, with which he has been from its erection, and
eti ts 4, intimately connected. He selected four sites as eligible—one
Property of Mr. Baillie, the proprietor of Culduthel , another
}le.!. at of Mr. Mackintosh, of Raigmore ; a third at the Hut of
0,11411, OR the estate ef Inches ; and a fourth on the lands of
ortliestoa, the property of Mr. Benne, of Dochrour. With the first
I;e4r-le proprietors, Mr. Benne, of Culduthel, the Committee have
connriunication ; but the terms of feu demanded by him. ere
leg t
and therefore the site upon his property adjoin-
oat ofe,9uarrY, and close to the marsh with the Itaigmore lands,. is
s„.e.question. The Committee have also communicated with
ss.ackintosh, bat without any result—that gentleman requiring
ow from them the amount of feu that will be given, and the
,Von t naturally enoueii begging to be informed what is to be
%sr , and here the negotiation stands with Mr. Mackintosh. Of
it will be the duty of the subscribers immediately to open
til'uonnunication with Mr. Robertson, of lushes, and Mr. Baillie, of
1,747tf0ur, and thereafter to select from those equally eligible sites
which may be obtained upon the most eligible terms.
etisthese circumstance, of realised funds and anticipated increase,
lie Conger Committee have considered themselves required to delay
=s,„ag," the commencement of the Institution. The necessity for
erection is every day forcing itself upon their attention. The nun-1-
,1,4,f lunatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every
Ites.:!!,asing, and the operation of the New Poer-law Bill must
tet,pa.fuY add to the number. That Bill directs a course by which
441-rut parishes may be compelled to the humanity of providing
• eient accommodation for their lunatic poor ; but it affords no
the
towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent
ths oblig ellen upon parishes, the more important to them should be
poZireetien of a local and inexpensive Institution, such as that pro-
This is obvious, and will undoubtedly force itself upon the
