EPIPHANY  SESSIONS. 


REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  VISITORS 
OF  THE  UNITED  COUNTIES  OF  CUMBERLAND  AND 

WESTMORLAND. 


Your  Committee  have  to  report  that  the  number  of  Paupers 
at  present  in  the  Asylum  is  as  follows,  viz. : — For  Cumberland,  105 
Males,  79  Females  5  for  Westmorland,  27  Males,  28  Females; 
total,  239. 

The  present  weekly  cost  of  maintenance  is  8s.  6d.  per  head  ;  and 
while  your  Committee  would  congratulate  the  Bench  upon  the 
decrease  which  has  taken  place  since  the  corresponding  quarter 
of  last  year,  when  the  weekly  cost  was  9s.  lOd.  per  head,  they  fear 
that,  owing  to  the  advanced  price  of  butcher’s  meat  and  other  pro¬ 
visions,  they  may  be  compelled  to  increase  the  charge  during  the 
ensuing  quarter. 

The  General  Committee  have  met  at  the  Asylum  once  a  month, 
and  the  House  Committee  once  a  fortnight,  during  the  last  year. 

By  the  62nd  section  of  the  Lunacy  Act,  your  Committee  are 
required  at  this  Sessions  to  lay  before  the  Justices  of  the  County 
u  a  Report  in  writing  of  the  state  and  condition  of  the  Asylum, 
and  as  to  its  sufficiency  for  the  proper  accommodation  of  the  number 
of  Lunatics  for  whom  it  may  be  necessary  to  provide  accommodation, 
and  as  to  the  management  of  such  Asylum  and  the  conduct  of  the 
officers  and  servants  thereof,  and  the  care  of  the  patients  therein, 
a  copy  of  which  Report  is  to  be  transmitted  to  the  Commissioners  in 
Lunacy.” 

In  accordance  with  this  requirement,  your  Committee  have  now 
to  report  that  the  state  and  condition  of  the  Asylum  is  most  satis¬ 
factory  ;  and  though  it  is  insufficient  for  the  proper  accommodation 
of  the  whole  of  the  paupers  belonging  to  the  two  Counties,  they 


6 


trust  that  very  shortly  they  shall  be  enabled  to  receive  all  for  whom 
it  may  be  necessary  to  provide  accommodation. 

The  erection  of  one  of  the  block  buildings  to  contain  105 
patients  has  been  proceeded  with,  and  is  now  so  far  completed  as  to 
be  partially  covered  in,  and  the  other  block  would  have  been  com¬ 
menced  at  the  same  time  but  for  a  strike  which  occurred  amongst 
the  masons  when  your  Committee  were  advertising  for  tenders  for 
the  work. 

They  expect,  however,  at  next  Sessions  to  be  able  to  lay  before 
the  Court  for  their  approval  (as  required  by  the  Act)  the  contract 
for  the  other  block,  the  plans  of  which  have  been  already  laid  before 
the  Commissioners  in  Lunacy  and  approved  by  the  Secretary  of 
State. 

The  Committee  are  glad  to  be  able  again  to  report  most 
favourably  as  to  the  management  of  the  Asylum  by  Dr.  Clouston, 
and  also  as  to  the  conduct  of  the  officers  and  servants  at  present 
engaged  therein. 

The  Committee  have  every  reason  to  be  satisfied  with  the  care 
which  has  been  taken  of  the  patients  during  the  past  year,  which 
they  feel  reflects  great  credit  upon  the  Medical  Superintendent  and 
the  various  officers,  both  male  and  female,  under  him. 

The  system  of  deodorization  pursued  by  Mr.  Mc.Dougall  has 
been  brought  into  operation,  and  your  Committee  have  every  reason, 
so  far  as  their  present  short  experience  goes,  to  believe  that  it  will 
prove  completely  effectual. 

It  will  be  necessary  for  the  Court  at  this  Sessions  to  appoint  a 

Committee  for  the  ensuing  year,  in  compliance  with  the  terms  of  the 
Act.

TO  THE  CHAIRMAN  AND  VISITORS 
OF  THE  CUMBERLAND  AND  WESTMORLAND 

ASYLUM. 


Gentlemen, 

I  beg  to  submit  to  you  the  following  Report  of  the  Cumberland 
and  Westmorland  Asylum  for  tbe  year  1865. 

At  the  beginning  of  tbe  year  there  were  226  patients  in  the 
Asylum  ;  there  were  239  on  the  31st  of  December. 

There  were  54  admissions  during  the  year,  of  whom  20  were 
males,  and  34  females. 

There  were  26  discharges,  9  of  whom  were  males,  and  17 
females. 

There  were  15  deaths,  5  of  whom  were  males,  and  10  females. 

The  average  number  of  patients  resident  during  the  year  was 
131  males,  and  106  females  ;  in  all  237. 

In  the  accompanying  tables  I  have  given  the  usual  statistical 
information  in  regard  to  the  admissions,  discharges,  and  deaths. 

ADMISSIONS. 

The  number  of  patients  admitted  has  been  greater  by  7  this 
year  than  last.  I  have  had  to  refuse  admission  in  47  cases  during 
the  year.  Some  of  those  were  afterwards  transferred  to  this  from  other 
Asylums,  and  are  included  in  the  admissions  of  the  year.  Fifteen 
such  transfers  took  place.  There  were  32  insane  persons  in  the  two 
counties,  therefore,  who  during  the  past  year  would  have  been  sent 
to  this  Asylum,  but  for  whom  there  was  no  accommodation. 

Nineteen  of  the  patients  admitted  were  from  Westmorland. 

About  one-half  of  the  patients  admitted  were  curable,  and  about 
half  of  them  had  had  previous  attacks  of  insanity.  About  one-half 
of  them  were  under  40  years  of  age,  and  about  one-third  of  them 
laboured  under  the  more  acute  forms  of  insanity.  In  an  agricultural 
district,  like  that  from  which  the  patients  in  this  Asylum  come,  the 
most  acute  forms  of  insanity  are  not  so  common  as  in  urban  districts. 

By  far  the  greater  number  of  the  assigned  causes  of  the  disease 
in  the  admissions  were  physical  causes.  Only  three  of  the  cases  were 


8 


attributed  to  purely  mental  and  moral  causes.  This  too  would  seem 
to  be  a  characteristic  of  insanity  as  it  manifests  itself  in  an  agricul¬ 
tural  district,  and  among  a  rural  people.  In  no  less  than  10  of  the 
34  women  admitted  was  the  insanity  attributable  to  childbirth  and 
nursing.  In  4  of  these  cases  they  had  given  birth  to  illegitimate 
children.  This  merely  confirms  what  has  long  been  known,  viz., 
that  puerperal  insanity  is  much  more  frequent  among  the  mothers  of 
illegitimate  children  than  other  women.  Fifteen  of  the  54  admissions 
are  directly  attributable  to  vice,  viz.,  to  intemperance  and  immoral 
habits. 

As  usual  many  of  the  cases  were  far  too  long  kept  at  home,  or  in 
workhouses,  before  being  sent  here.  If  there  is  any  one  fact  well 
established  in  reference  to  curable  insanity,  it  is  that  early  treatment 
and  early  removal  from  the  causes  of  the  disease  give  by  far  the  best 
chance  of  recovery. 

About  one-fourth  of  the  patients  admitted  were  suicidal.  One- 
half  of  them  were  in  good  bodily  health,  and  the  other  half  in 
indifferent  or  bad  health. 

DISCHAKGES. 

Twenty-one  patients  were  discharged  recovered,  being  39  per 
cent,  on  the  admissions.  There  has  been  a  constantly  increasing 
percentage  of  recoveries  ever  since  the  Asylum  was  opened.  In 
1862,  the  recoveries  were  14  per  cent,  on  the  admissions  ;  in  1863, 
25  per  cent.  ;  in  1864,  34  per  cent.  ;  and  in  1865,  39  per  cent. 
The  small  percentage  in  1862  is  accounted  for  by  its  being  the 
opening  year  of  the  Institution,  when  of  course  there  was  a  great 
number  of  admissions  of  chronic  incurable  cases  from  other  Asylums. 

Only  one  of  the  cases  discharged  recovered  this  year  had  a 
relapse,  and  was  re-admitted.  In  most  of  the  cases  the  patients  were 
at  first  only  discharged  for  a  fortnight  or  a  month  on  trial.  The 
relieving  officers  of  the  districts  to  which  the  patients  belonged 
very  kindly  wTent  to  see  them  during  their  period  of  probation,  and 
reported  to  me  at  the  end  of  the  time  whether  they  remained  well  or 
not.  I  think  this  is  an  admirable  plan  of  testing  a  patient’s  power 
of  self-control.  Of  course,  in  any  case  when  it  was  doubtful  whether 
a  patient  was  really  fit  to  be  at  large  or  not  at  the  end  of  his  period 
of  probation,  it  would  be  necessary  for  the  medical  officer  of  the 
Union  to  see  him,  or  that  he  should  be  brought  back  for  me  to  see 
him. 


9 


One  of  the  patients  discharged  “not  improved’'  was  the  man 
who  escaped  and  was  not  brought  back. 

More  than  one-half  of  the  patients  who  recovered  had  been  in  the 
Asylum  under  six  months,  and  two-thirds  of  the  recovered  under  a 
year.  One  woman  had  been  an  inmate  of  the  Asylum  for  three 
years  and  a  half  before  she  was  sufficiently  recovered  to  be  discharged. 
It  is  very  unusual  for  patients  to  recover  after  so  long  an  attack  of 
insanity.  F  our  of  the  recovered  were  between  60  and  70  years  of  age, 
a  very  large  proportion  indeed  of  the  old  patients  admitted  to  recover 
from  insanity. 

DEATHS. 

The  number  of  patients  who  have  died  this  year  amount  to  6  J 
[  per  cent,  on  the  average  number  resident.  This  is  much  below  the 
average  of  county  asylums,  and  indicates  a  much  more  satisfactory 
state  of  things  than  the  12  per  cent,  of  last  year.  All  the  causes 
of  death  were  ordinary  and  unavoidable  diseases,  with  the  exception 
of  4.  Those  are  the  4  cases  that  died  in  Spring  of  dysentery. 
After  our  experience  of  dysentery  last  year,  and  when  the  cause  of 
this  epidemic  was  then  so  clearly  ascertained,  it  demands  explanation 
how  the  cause  was  again  allowed  to  come  into  operation  with  such 
fatal  results. 

During  the  trenching  of  the  field  below  the  sewage  tank,  the 
level  of  the  ground  through  which  the  covered  drain  from  the  tank 
passed  had  to  be  altered,  and  the  drain  to  be  taken  up  ;  while  this 
was  up,  the  sewage  was  shut  up  in  the  tank  when  the  wind  blew 
towards  the  house,  and  was  allowed  to  run  over  the  land  when  the 
wind  blew  in  other  directions.  While  so  running  over  the  land,  the 
wind  changed  to  the  north  one  night,  and  the  effluvia  was  sent  directly 
towards  the  house.  The  sewage  was  promptly  stopped  in  the 
morning.  Six  days  after  this,  five  patients  were  simultaneously 
attacked  with  dysentery,  of  the  same  character  as  last  year.  At 
the  time  they  were  attacked,  a  drain  was  found  to  be  obstructed 
j  under  the  windows  of  the  ward  in  which  they  resided.  At  first  I  was 
doubtful  whether  the  drain  or  the  sewage  exhalations  from  the  tank 
5  were  the  cause  of  the  disease.  I  have  now  no  doubt  that  it  was  the 
sewage  exhalations.  From  most  careful  observation  as  to  the  time  the 
sewage  poison  took  to  incubate  in  the  system,  after  being  inhaled 
in  the  outbreak  of  last  year,  I  find  that  it  required  from  3  to  6 

days  to  produce  its  effect.  Now  the  drain  had  not  been  so  long 

n 


10 


obstructed,  so  that  it  must  have  been  the  sewage  from  the  tank. 
The  method  by  which  I  discovered  the  length  of  time  the  poison 
took  to  incubate,  was  by  carefully  going  over  the  Rev.  Mr.  Redford’s 
meteorological  register,  and  comparing  the  period  when  the  patients 
were  attacked,  with  the  times  when  there  had  been  north  winds 
the  only  winds  that  would  carry  the  poison  towards  the  house. 

Certainly,  nothing  could  more  conclusively  prove  the  virulent 
nature  of  sewage  exhalations,  than  this  unfortunate  outbreak  of 
dysentery.  Since  last  March,  when  this  occurred,  there  has  not 
been  the  least  tendency  to  the  disease  among  the  patients. 

Since  the  publication  of  last  year’s  Report,  considerable  attention 
has  been  directed  to  the  account  I  gave  of  the  outbreak  of  dysentery, 
and  its  cause.  Many  comments  have  been  made  on  it,  and  some 
misapprehension  has  been  shown.  To  correct  this,  I  may  mention 
that  the  sewage  irrigation,  such  as  it  was,  was  not  a  “crude”  and 
“dangerous  experiment”  carried  on  by  me,  but  an  accidental  and 
temporary  arrangement  that  existed  before  I  came  here,  and  that 
was  merely  allowded  to  remain  until  the  field  on  which  the  sewage 
was  run,  should  have  been  levelled  and  properly  prepared  to  receive 
the  sewage  distributed  scientifically.  My  object,  in  giving  an  account 
of  it,  was  simply  to  state  the  facts  of  the  case,  as  a  most  interesting 
example  of  how  dysentery  of  a  peculiar  type  could  be  produced, 
and  as  a  terrible  warning  as  to  the  deadly  effects  of  sewage 
exhalation.  I  had  no  intention,  whatever,  of  expressing  or  implying 
any  opinion  about  the  general  question  of  sewage  utilization  in  a 
proper  manner.  Surely  the  solution  of  most  important  questions 
should  be  rather  helped  than  impeded  by  such  an  example  of  the 
effects  of  an  improper  utilization. 

Then  I  have  heard  it  said  that  the  diet  or  clothing  of  the  patients 
might  have  something  to  do  with  the  disease,  as  well  as  the  sewage. 
When  I  say  that  the  daily  food  of  each  patient  contains  296  grains 
of  nitrogenous  materials,  and  121  ounces  of  carbon,  and  that  each 
patient  is  warmly  clothed — when  I  mention  that  patients  who  were 
on  stimulants  and  extra  diet  were  attacked  by  the  disease,  and  that 
a  strong,  young,  robust  male  attendant,  who  had  only  been  a  few 
days  in  the  house,  was  one  of  those  attacked  last  year,  I  think 
I  have  sufficiently  disposed  of  those  groundless  surmises. 

I  have  every  reason  to  suppose  that  the  system  of  deodorizing 
the  sewage,  ab  initio ,  by  supplying  water  impregnated  with  carbolic 


11 


acid  and  lime  to  the  water  closets,  as  recommended  by  Mr. 
Mc.Dougal,  of  Manchester,  and  carried  out  by  you,  will  be  most 
successful  in  preventing  all  offensive  odours  in  the  house,  and  in 
enabling  us  to  use  the  sewage  anywhere  to  the  land,  with  safety  and 
profit.  Mr.  Todd  has  contrived  an  ingenious  arrangement  for 
mixing  the  carbolic  acid  with  the  water,  which  will  save  much 
labour,  and  do  it  much  more  effectively  than  it  can  be  done  by 
hand.  When  the  cast-iron  gutters  for  distributing  the  sewage  over 
any  part  of  the  land  are  got,  the  system  of  deodorization  and 
|  utilization  will  be  complete. 


GENERAL  HISTORY  OF  THE  INSTITUTION. 


In  the  general  history  of  the  institution  for  the  past  year,  I 
have  to  report  two  accidents,  that  might  very  easily  have  been  fatal 
to  the  lives  of  the  patients.  The  first  was  the  case  of  a  man  who 
attempted  to  cut  his  throat,  in  the  early  part  of  the  year,  but  only 
succeeded  in  dividing  the  skin.  He  had  not  been  even  suspected 
of  a  desire  to  commit  suicide  until  he  made  the  attempt.  The  other 
case  was  that  of  a  paralytic  patient  being  scalded  by  an  attendant. 
The  act  was  one  of  great  and  inexcusable  carelessness,  but  the 
cause  of  death  of  the  patient  was  not  the  scald,  but  a  paralytic 
seizure  in  the  course  of  the  disease  under  which  he  laboured.  Of 
course  he  was  weakened  by  the  scald,  and  made  less  able  to  resist 
any  disease,  and  in  that  way  the  scald  may  have  contributed  to  the 
patient's  death,  though  I  am  of  opinion  that  the  paralytic  seizure 
of  itself  would  have  carried  him  off,  in  the  state  in  which  he  had 
been  for  some  time.  His  death  took  place  after  the  year  had  ended, 
so  that  it  is  not  included  among  the  deaths  during  1865.  This  was 
the  first  case  in  which  a  coroner's  inquest  had  been  held,  on  the 
death  of  any  patient,  since  the  opening  of  the  institution.  For  this 
rarity  of  accidents  there  is  every  reason  to  be  thankful,  considering 
the  risk  there  is  of  serious  accidents  at  all  times  in  Asylums. 

More  stringent  rules  will  for  the  future  be  enforced  in  regard  to 
the  bathing  of  patients,  although  I  fear  that  no  rules  however  explicit 
they  may  be,  and  however  stringently  enforced,  will  supply  the  utter 
want,  of  care  and  common  sense  of  a  man  who,  when  he  has  to  wash 
a  patient  in  tepid  water,  puts  him  in  scalding  hot  water.  I  can  only 
hope  that  we  may  succeed  in  getting  attendants  to  whom  rules  will 
not  be  necessary  to  make  them  avoid  such  accidents.  With  that 


12 


exception,  and  that  of  a  female  attendant  who  was  dismissed  for 
using  a  patient  roughly,  I  have  to  report  very  favourably  of  your 
present  staff  of  attendants  and  servants. 

A  large  amount  of  work  has  been  done  by  the  patients  on  the 
farm,  in  the  workshops,  and  in  the  house.  About  three-fourths  of 
them  are  daily  employed  usefully. 

All  the  house  has  now  been  painted,  and  the  dining  hall  and  four 
other  rooms  have  been  papered.  This  adds  immensely  to  the 
comfort  and  the  domestic  feeling  of  the  house,  and  has  a  directly 
beneficial  effect  on  the  patients.  Many  pictures  and  statuettes  have 
been  put  in  the  wards,  and  are  well  taken  care  of  and  greatly  ap¬ 
preciated.  Valances  and  window  blinds  have  been  put  in  all 
the  wards.  All  those  additions  to  the  comfort  and  happiness  of  the 
patients  bear  fruit  in  the  greater  contentment  and  quiet  that  prevails. 

Since  the  new  walk  round  half  the  circumference  of  the  farm 
has  been  completed,  all  the  patients  who  were  formerly  confined 
to  the  airing  courts  are  sent  out  to  walk  at  least  once  every  day.  It 
is  no  uncommon  occurrence  to  have  the  male  wards  quite  empty 
during  the  walking  hours  in  the  afternoons,  and  it  is  only  the  sick 
or  those  who  are  otherwise  employed  who  are  ever  in  the  house 
at  that  hour.  This  has  a  most  beneficial  effect  on  the  worst  class  of 
patients  who  cannot  employ  themselves,  and  when  in  the  airing 
court  are  apt  to  sit  dowm  and  get  cold.  There  are  always  a  few 
women  who  are  physically  incapable  of  walking  round  the  farm,  and 
who  are,  therefore,  confined  to  the  airing  courts. 

About  18  of  the  male  patients  are  allowed  to  go  on  parole 
within  the  farm,  and  I  have  not  found  any  one  of  them  to  abuse  this 
liberty  and  escape.  Such  liberty  is,  more  than  any  other  privilege, 
appreciated  by  patients  in  Asylums,  and  tends,  more  than  anything 
else  to  make  them  content.  The  constant  complaints  of  many 
patients  about  being  kept  here,  and  their  constant  cry  of  “  Home, 
Home,”  is  one  of  the  most  painful  things  in  Asylum  life.  Patients 
may  be  kept  as  comfortable  as  possible,  and  have  far  better  food  and 
accommodation  than  they  would  have  at  their  own  homes,  and  yet 
the  want  of  liberty  makes  them  discontented.  The  privilege  of  going 
about  unattended,  and  the  assimilation  of  Asylum  life  in  this  way  to 
real  home  life  (for  it  is  idle  to  talk  of  assimilating  Asylum  life  to 
home  life,  where  the  outer  door  is  locked)  is,  under  proper  medical 
supervision  and  authority,  by  far  the  most  tranquillizing  medicine  for 
a  large  number  of  the  insane. 


13 


Most  of  the  patients  have  now  Sunday  suits  of  clothes.  This  is 
•  a  most  desirable  thing  to  have  for  them  all. 

During  the  winter  we  have  had  concerts,  readings,  and  lectures 

►  on  the  alternate  weeks  with  the  dances.  I  must  express  the  thanks 

►  of  all  in  the  institution  to  those  gentlemen  who  have  kindly  helped 

to  amuse  the  patients  in  this  way.  Lately  a  patient  has  taught 

i  a  school  two  evenings  in  the  week.  From  12  to  14  male  patients 
attend  regularly,  and  are  benefited  in  every  way  by  their  attendance. 
The  harmonium  has  been  a  very  great  improvement  to  the 

I  Chapel  services,  and  the  class  for  practising  sacred  music  on  the 

I  Saturday  evenings  has  produced  a  decided  change  for  the  better 
j  in  the  singing. 

The  Chapel  services,  and  the  constant  and  assiduous  ministrations 
)  of  the  Chaplain,  have  been  productive  of  much  good. 

To  all  the  Officers,  and  to  the  Consulting  Physician,  I  owe 
thanks  for  their  cordial  good  feeling  towards  myself,  and  for  their 
i  zeal  and  efficiency  in  the  performance  of  their  duties. 

I  beg  to  thank  the  Committee  for  their  continued  confidence  and 
approval. 

!  T.  S.  CLOUSTON,  M.D., 

Medical  Superintendent .
