ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC ASYLUM.
the REPORT by the COUNTY COMMITTEE, as presented to
.BGeneral Meeting of Subscribers, held within the Castle of Inver-
, upon the 14th November, 1845.
Ttie increasing prevalence of lunacy through the county of Inver-
n7,n d the obligation upon the local authorities, to confine at the
Ztic se of the parish of domicile, all persons thus dangerously
, compelled this project as a matter of ordinary prudence, and
apart from all consideration of general philanthropy. Accordingly,
n the Annual County Meeting of the 30th April, 1843, the project
tla.a‘ submitted to the public. It was resolved to endeavour to afford
`nn fit of the Institution to all the northern counties, standing,
::bey did, under circumstances of equal necessity and a Committee
""M_lilanointed to solicit subscriptions on this enlarged and general
~__"ong. They commenced their duties ; but circumstances for some
were adverse ; and they had the deep misfortune to lose, almost
;Lute outset of their labours, one of their most influential, zealous,
ii,;lll.lued numbers, by the sudden death of Mr. Fraser, of Newton.

public meeting of the heritors, magistrates, and clergy, was
ITted accordingly, upon the 10th day of December, 184'4, and the
tte,rssitY of an immediate canvass was admitted, and pressed upon
a4Acling Committee. They undertook the task. The funds at that
ih."altiounted to 1,5001., and to-day they stand on the list as 4,7001.
rill is almost entirely the result of private contribution ; for
§er 2he parish, that of Dornoch, in Sutherland, has entered a sub-
it,puon, and only one public bode, the Caledonian Bank of Inver-
given a contribution ;—the parish of Dornoch has taken one

h„;:qad guineas. Apart, indeed, from these two sums, the contri-
have4tions been entirely from the hand of private benevolence.

They regret to say that they failed in many quarters
ioere they had the best reason to anticipate success ; but, again,
kMe,Were instances where the claim of enlarged benetolence, apart
any local feeling, was willingly admitted. There were indi

vIT, nals who appeared to consider it a privilege to have an opportunity
7 contributing to an object tending so obviously to alleviate the
erles of the poor.
ki:noh, then, is the amount of the realised funds, and inch is the
ti;rike from which they have been to a very considerable degree de-
-141 . The Committee have no hesitation in stating to the sub-
taert their belief that the subscription will be soon considerably
''-'ttiteti. An Important addition may be reasonably anticipated
~"ne northern counties, and the result of an influential communi-
t" with India may be looked for with confidence. In closing this

Adslam, they had the advantage of communicating with the Lord

intimately connected. He selected four sites as eligible—one

that of Mr. Mackintosh, of Raigmore ; a third at the Hut of
sealth, on the estate of Inshes ; and a fourth on the lands of
,•;tthese proprietors, Mr. Baillie, of Culduthel, the Committee have

in-:Le impracticable, and therefore the site upon his property adjoin-
the Quarry, and close to the marsh with the Raigmore lands, is

t 8 Mackintosh, but without any result—that gentleman requiring
(‘Lmow from them the amount of feu that will be given, and the
i;' ,rriittee naturally enough begging to be informed what is to be
; and here the negotiation stands with Mr. Mackintosh. Of
it will be the dutj of the subscribers immediately to open
n inunication with Mr. Robertson, of lushes, and Mr. Emilie of

which may be obtained upon the most eligible terms.

Committee have considered themselves required to delay
ti, ' longer the commencement of the Institution. The necessity for
trection is every day forcing itself upon their attention. The num-
Of lunatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every
Zayincreasing, and the operation of the New Poor-law Bill must
arily add to the number. That Bill directs a course by which
sillotant parishes may be compelled to the humanity of providing
accommodation for their lunatic poor ; but it affords no
timtance towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent
obligation upon parishes, the more important to them should be
the erection of a local and inexpensive Institution, such as that pro-
--re• This is obvious, and will undoubtedly force itself upon the
~rstanding of all such burdened parishes.
,1•41 Committee, impressed with these important considerations,
s,_
utiL'unt their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest
without any delay the necessary steps should be taken for the
e.,anlsation of the Asylinn.
!Y cannot close the account of their proceedings without ex-
Vtkng the obligation under which the Institution is placed to cc-
gentlemen in the south connected with this part of the country.
C4o`"aallow, Mr. Leith, formerly inspector of the Caledonian Banking
iii,m7PanY, most efficiently assisted the canvass ; and in London the
11-.2 beneficial office was with equal liberality discharged by Mr.
Cokenzie American merchant, and by Mr. Macgregor, of Cheap-
-40. To Mr. Young, of The Sun newspaper, the cause is eminently
I,...ebted, for the liberality with which he uniformly admitted the
liVaarY advertisements In a free and prominent access to the co-
of his important journal.
