THE  ANNUAL  REPORT 


OF  THE 

Committee  of  Visitors  of  the  County  Lunatic  Asylum 

TO  THE  QUARTER  SESSIONS,  EASTER,  1871. 


The  Committee  of  Visitors  of  the  County  Lunatic 
Asylum  delivered  in  their  Annual  Report  as  follows  : — 

“  The  Committee  of  Visitors  have  to  report  that  during  the  past 
year  the  admission  of  patients  has  been— Males  45,  Females  88,  total, 
88 ;  being  an  increase  of  admissions  as  compared  with  the  year  1869. 
The  discharges  during  the  past  year  have  been — Males  21,  Females  31, 
total,  52  ;  Deaths— Males  19,  Females  14,  total,  33.  Recovered — Males 
14,  Females  29,  total,  43.  The  number  of  Patients  in  the  Asylum  this 
day  is — Males  226,  Females  236,  total,  462.  Two  of  the  Commissioners 
in  Lunacy  paid  their  annual  visit  to  the  Asylum  on  the  13th  of  September 
last,  at  which  time  there  were  461  Patients  in  the  Asylum,  Male  and 
Female,  besides  6  out  on  trial.  The  Commissioners,  in  their  Report, 
say,  “  There  is  much  that  is  excellent  here.  The  mere  fact  of  the 
numbers,  variously  and  usefully  employed,  is  a  sufficient  indication  of 
the  care  given  to  them,  and  of  the  success  that  attends  the  judicious 
and  kindly  treatment  they  receive.”  The  Commissioners  go  on  to  say, 
“  The  Asylum  is  at  present  decidedly  overfilled  both  in  dormitories  and 
day -rooms.”  With  respect  to  this  observation  of  the  Commissioners, 
the  Committee  hope  that  this  overcrowding  of  the  inmates,  which  has 
been  so  greatly  felt  and  complained  of  for  the  last  two  or  three  years, 
will  be  at  once  relieved  and  remedied  by  the  opening  of  the  Idiot 
Asylum,  which  the  Committee  believe  will  be  ready  for  the  reception  of 
Patients  in  the  course  of  the  ensuing  Spring  or  Summer.  According 
to  the  Commissioner’s  Report,  there  were  in  the  Asylum,  at  the  time 
of  their  visit  in  September  last,  no  less  than  70  Patients  of  the  Idiotic 
Class.  During  the  last  year,  the  Committee  have  found  it  expedient  to 
revise  and  alter  to  some  extent  the  Rules  and  Regulations  of  the 
Asylum,  which  had  been  in  operation  since  the  opening  of  the  Asylum 
in  1852,  and  which,  from  the  altered  circumstances  of  the  Establishment, 


5 


require  to  be  revised.  An  enlargement  lias  been  made  of  the  Wash’ 
house  and  Laundry,  which,  from  the  gradual  increase  of  the  number  of 
Patients,  originally  calculated  at  325,  but  increasing  year  by  year  to 
upwards  of  450,  had  become  insufficient  and  inadequate.  In  making 
this  additional  Laundry  accommodation,  the  Committee  have  included 
also  the  requirements  in  this  department  of  the  new  Idiot  Asylum. 
With  respect  to  the  general  management  of  the  Asylum,  the  Committee 
have  to  express  their  continued  satisfaction  and  confidence  in  Dr. 
Pabsey,  the  Superintendent,  in  Miss  Paynes,  the  Matron,  and  the 
other  Officers  and  Servants  of  the  Establishment.  The  present  Weekly 
Charge  for  the  Pauper  Patients  is  9s.  Old.

DR.  PARSET’S  report. 


In  the  Report  on  the  condition  and  statistics  of  the  Asylum,  that  I 
had  to  submit  to  your  Committee  at  the  end  of  the  Year  1869,  I  was 
obliged  to  call  attention  to  the  inconvenient  increase  in  the  number  of 
patients,  to  the  extent  of  causing  some  amount  of  over-crowding,  chiefly 
from  the  large  number  of  admissions,  which  exceeded  by  over  twenty- 
three  per  cent,  the  average  of  the  preceding  sixteen  or  seventeen  years. 
We  had,  consequently,  to  begin  the  year  1870  under  somewhat  unfavour¬ 
able  circumstances,  which,  apparently,  could  be  relieved  only  by  the 
rapid  completion  of  the  new  Idiot  Asylum,  or  some  available  portion  of 
it;  but,  though  the  progress  of  the  new  building  has  been  only  such  as 
to  throw  the  time  of  its  completion  far  into  the  coming  spring,  we  have, 
fortunately,  during  the  past  year,  been  able  to  meet  all  fresh  require¬ 
ments,  though  on  two  or  three  occasions  a  delay  of  a  few  days  was 
necessary  between  the  time  of  application  and  that  of  admission  of  a 
patient.  This  ability  to  meet  all  known  demands  has  arisen  from  the 
admissions  having  been  not  only  much  fewer  than  in  1869,  but  below  the 
average  of  ordinary  years ;  whilst  changes  in  the  resident  staff  of  the 
Asylum  have  put  at  your  disposal  accommodation  for  a  dozen  more  male 
patients  than  could  be  provided  for  at  the  beginning  of  the  year.

The  average  daily  number  during  the  year  has  been 
At  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  numbers  were,  including  two  absent 
on  trial,  221  males,  and  248  females — total,  464 ;  showing  for  the  present 
year  an  increase  of  five  males,  and  a  decrease  of  seven  females  ;  so  that 
in  point  of  accommodation  we  are  in  a  somewhat  more  satisfactory 
condition  than  a  twelvemonth  back. 


7 


Of  those  admitted,  all  the  males  and  thirty-one  females  have  been  for 
the  first  time;  seven  females  after  previous  discharge,  the  periods  of  their 
absence  from  the  Asylum  between  discharge  and  re-admission  varying  from 
ten  months  to  sixteen  years  ;  and  I  have  again  to  repeat  my  almost  yearly 
remark  on  the  singularly  unfavourable  nature  of  the  male  admissions  as 
regards  prospect  of  recovery.  This  remark  invariably  applies  only  to 
the  male  sex ;  and  I  think  it  would  be  difficult  to  find  an  Asylum  in 
England  containing  a  larger  proportion  of  inmates  in  the  male  depart¬ 
ment  of  so  low  a  mental  standard  as  are  accumulated  here.  It  is  possible 
that  this  condition  may,  to  some  extent,  find  an  explanation  in  the 
peculiar  relation  of  this  county  to  the  borough  of  Birmingham,  in  itself 
much  more  populous  than  all  the  rest  of  the  county,  and  to  its  surround¬ 
ing  industrial  district,  very  little  of  which  happens  to  be  in  the  county 
of  Warwick.  The  higher  wages  and  skilled  occupations  of  these 
neighbouring  parts  act  as  a  continual  inducement  to  migration  for  the 
more  active  intelligences  and  more  robust  physical  organizations  among 
the  working  classes  of  the  county,  leaving  to  the  agricultural  districts, 
of  which,  with  the  exception  of  the  small  city  of  Coventry,  the 
remainder  of  the  county  is  mainly  composed,  all  the  feebler  constitutions 
and  more  inactive  minds,  which  are  the  main  feeders  of  the  degenerate 
male  population  of  this  Asylum.  This  opinion  is  borne  out  by  the  higher 
standard  of  intelligence  and  the  much  greater  proportion  of  recent 
active  insanity  among  the  males  admitted  into  the  borough  of  Birming¬ 
ham  Asylum  as  contrasted  with  this.  Six  of  the  males  admitted  have 
been  idiots,  and  nine  epileptics  ;  and  fifteen  others  have  been  in  a  state 
of  chronic  dementia,  or  other  incurable  condition ;  whilst  only  fifteen, 
or  one-third  of  the  whole,  have  had  comparatively  recent  or  probably 
curable  insanity.  Of  the  females  only  two  have  been  idiots,  and  four 
epileptics  ;  and  eight  others  have  had  incurable  forms  of  insanity ; 
whilst  twenty-four,  or  nearly  two-thirds  of  them,  have  been  recent  cases 
affording  prospect  of  recovery.  At  present  there  are  in  the  Asylum 
forty-one  male  and  twenty-eight  female  idiots,  of  whom  eleven  males 
and  seven  females  are  also  subject  to  epilepsy.  Their  ages  vary  from  six 
to  over  sixty  years,  but  only  six  of  them  are  under  sixteen  years  of  age. 

The  results  of  treatment  are  necessarily,  though  only  partially, 
dependent  on  the  character  of  the  admissions  during  the  preceding 
twelve  months  ;  and,  though  the  recoveries  this  year  have  reached  the 
satisfactory  proportion  of  nearly  fifty-two  per  cent,  to  the  admissions, 


8 


the  disparity  between  the  two  sexes  has  been  quite  as  great  as  might  be 
anticipated  from  the  unpromising  state  of  the  males  when  presented  for 
reception  here  ;  among  the  females  they  have  been  seventy-six  per 
cent. ;  among  the  males  thirty-one  per  cent. 

In  addition  to  those  recovered,  seven  males  and  two  females  have  been 
discharged  relieved ;  two  of  the  former  to  make  room  for  more  urgent 
cases  requiring  admission  when  the  Asylum  was  full— making  the  whole 
discharges  sixty-two  per  cent,  to  the  admissions. 

The  mortality  has  been  favourable ;  being  less  than  seven  and  a 
quarter  per  cent,  on  the  average  number  resident ;  or  six  per  cent,  of 
the  whole  number  under  care  and  treatment ;  thus  maintaining  the 
general  character  of  the  mortality  for  the  last  seven  years,  in  only  one 
of  which  has  it  been  higher  than  ten  per  cent,  on  the  average  number 
resident ;  having  varied  between  this  and  seven  and  a  half  per  cent. 
There  was  nothing  special  in  any  of  the  causes  of  death. 

There  has  not  at  any  period  of  the  year  been  an  excessive  amount 
of  sickness ;  and  we  have  enjoyed  a  fair  immunity  from  accidents.  The 
only  serious  one  occurred  to  a  male  patient,  who,  under  the  influence  of 
a  vivid  dream,  or  of  some  sudden  impulse  on  waking  out  of  sleep,  in  the 
middle  of  the  night,  rushed  from  his  bed  to  one  of  the  windows  of  a 
dormitory,  in  which  he  was  sleeping  with  eleven  others ;  he  thrust 
his  legs  through  the  glass,  causing  a  number  of  lacerations  of  both  legs 
and  thighs.  Fortunately  none  were  deep,  or  of  a  serious  nature,  though 
they  caused  considerable  loss  of  blood,  and  healed  very  slowly. 

Only  two  patients  have  made  successful  attempts  at  escape ;  they 
both  reached  their  homes  before  they  were  retaken. 

In  general  management  and  discipline  there  has  been  no  deviation 
from  the  system  of  former  years  ;  and  I  hope  that  the  comfort,  as  well 
as  the  special  remedial  treatment  of  the  inmates,  has  been  fairly 
considered. 

In  the  application  of  therapeutic  agents  the  value  and  importance 
of  some  of  the  more  recent  remedies  have  been  further  tested  with 
favourable  results. 

Throughout  the  open  part  of  the  year  the  moving  of  soil,  and  other 
out-door  work,  in  connection  with  the  new  Idiot  Asylum,  afforded 
occupation  for  many  patients  whose  capacity  is  not  equal  to  the  opera¬ 
tions  of  more  careful  gardening  or  farm  work ;  and  who,  otherwise, 
must  have  been  engaged  in  mere  weeding,  or  rolling,  or  stone  picking, 


or  other  forms  of  almost  nominal  labour ;  so  that  as  many  as  between 
fifty  and  sixty  males  were  able  to  be  healthfully  and  usefully  occupied 
on  the  land.  In  the  present  inclement  season  the  number  is  reduced  to 
between  thirty  and  forty. 

Among  other  donations  of  journals  and  periodicals  for  the  use  of 
the  patients  I  have  to  thank  the  proprietors  of  the  “Warwick  and 
Warwickshire  Advertiser,”  the  “Leamington  Chronicle,”  and  the 
“  Midland  Counties  Herald,”  for  the  regular  gratuitous  supply  of  a 
copy  of  their  papers ;  the  local  information  contained  in  them  has  for 
niany  of  our  inmates  an  interest  much  greater  than  the  more  general 
news  conveyed  by  such  London  papers  as  are  at  my  disposal  for 
their  use. 

I  am  not  aware  of  there  having  been  any  flagrant  dereliction  of  duty 
on  the  part  of  any  attendant  or  servant,  and  the  changes  among  them 
have  been  fewer  than  usual.  One  change  has  occurred  in  the  staff  of 
the  Asylum,  which,  involving  the  retirement  of  one  of  the  oldest  officers, 
has  been  a  general  source  of  regret  among  us.  The  active  duties  that 
devolved  on  Mr.  Sanders  from  the  opening  of  the  Asylum,  and  the 
anxious  interest  that  he  always  took  in  its  welfare,  brought  him  into 
such  close  relation  with  everybody  mixed  up  with  the  Institution,  that 
the  break  caused  by  his  resignation  is  felt  very  differently  from  that  of 
an  ordinary  change,  and  is  the  more  regretted  as  it  is  consequent  on 
protracted  ill-health,  passing  latterly  into  a  state  of  illness  so  serious  as 
to  render  complete  cessation  from  all  business  occupations  a  matter  of 
necessity. 

Dr.  Ward,  the  Assistant  Medical  Officer,  was  last  summer  obliged 
to  ask  for  a  lengthened  leave  of  absence,  in  consequence  of  disease 
requiring  for  its  treatment  long  and  complete  rest ;  his  duties  are  being 
temporarily  performed  by  Dr.  Mickle  in  an  able  and  satisfactory 
manner. 

I  hoped  to  have  been  able  to  report  some  experience  of  the  practical 
working  of  the  structural  additions  that  have  been  so  extensively  going 
on  throughout  the  year ;  but  as  the  new  Idiot  Asylum  will  probably  not 
be  in  a  state  to  be  taken  possession  of  for  the  use  of  patients  before 
earlj  summer,  it  must  be  some  time  before  any  advantages  from  its 
erection  can  be  realised.  The  new  laundry  is  far  enough  advanced  for 
the  ordinary  work  to  be  done  in  it  sufficiently  to  enable  the  requirements 
of  the  Asylum  to  be  imperfectly  met,  and  to  allow  us  to  dispense  with 


10 


the  temporary  wooden  building,  which  was  quite  unfitted  for  use  in  the 
late  inclement  season ;  but  for  many  weeks  this  department  has 
necessarily  been  carried  on  under  great  difficulties,  which  must  continue 
for  some  weeks  longer.  The  greatly  increased  convenience  of  the  new 
arrangements,  as  compared  with  those  of  the  old  contracted  building,  is 
however  already  beginning  to  be  felt. 

Much  has  been  said  and  written  lately  about  the  increase  of  insanity 
in  this  country,  specially  in  consequence  of  the  somewhat  startling 
additions  to  the  number  of  the  insane  coming  under  the  cognizance  of 
the  Commissioners  in  Lunacy  in  the  last  fifteen  or  twenty  years,  a  period 
in  which  the  rapid  growth  of  public  asylums,  and  the  more  careful 
attention  paid  to  the  classification  and  the  wants  of  the  the  insane 
throughout  the  Poor-law  Unions,  have  afforded  facilities,  previously 
unknown,  for  arriving  at  a  tolerably  accurate  estimate  of  their  numbers, 
at  least  among  the  poorer  classes  who  constitute  the  great  mass  of  the 
population.  It  is  not  for  me  to  give  in  this  Report  any  argumentative 
opinion  on  this  important  question  ;  but  one  or  two  statistical  facts, 
deduced  from  the  experience  of  this  Asylum,  may  be  appropriate,  as 
affording  a  certain  amount  of  information,  valuable,  so  far  as  it  goes,  in 
contributing  to  a  correct  estimate  of  its  bearings  as  regards  the  poor  of 
this  county.  As  a  supposed  guide  to  the  requirements  of  the  county, 
exclusive  of  Birmingham,  in  1850,  when  this  Asylum  was  in  course  of 
erection,  the  number  of  chargeable  insane  poor,  inclusive  of  idiots,  was 
ascertained  to  be  114  males,  and  172  females — total  286,  distributed  as 
follows : — 18  in  county  asylums ;  99  in  licensed  houses ;  75  in  work- 
houses  ;  9  in  lodgings ;  85  with  friends ;  and  to  meet  immediate  and 
future  wants  it  was  determined  to  erect  a  building  for  300  patients,  150 
of  either  sex,  the  female  division  being  in  the  course  of  erection  enlarged 
to  accommodate  an  additional  25.  The  Asylum  was  opened  for  the 
reception  of  patients  in  June  1852,  and  by  the  end  of  the  year  145 
inmates  had  been  admitted.  At  the  end  of  the  year  1870  they  numbered 
462,  an  increase  of  sixty-one-and-a-half  per  cent,  on  the  numbers 
chargeable  to  all  the  Unions  in  the  county  (286),  when  the  erection  of 
the  Asylum  was  commenced.  But  that  this  very  striking  addition  to 
our  insane  population  does  not  afford  an  index  to  the  actual  increase  in 
the  county  of  insanity,  that  is  of  individuals  newly  afflicted  with  the 
disorder,  is  shown  by  an  analysis  of  the  numbers  received  into  the 
Asylum  from  the  time  of  its  opening  ;  for  in  applying  this  test  we  find 


11 


that,  instead  of  their  increasing  materially  every  year,  or  in  every  series 
of  years,  to  keep  pace  with  this  apparent  increase  of  the  disorder,  there 
is,  on  the  contrary,  a  remarkable  uniformity  in  the  number  of  admissions 
throughout  the  whole  period.  Dividing  the  eighteen  years  since  1852 
into  three  equal  periods,  during  the  first  sis  years  the  admissions 
amounted  to  550,  including  40  re-admissions,  giving  an  average  of  85 
new  cases  a  year ;  in  the  next  six  years  they  were  578,  including  56 
re-admissions,  giving  an  average  of  86  new  cases  a  year  ;  and  in  the  last 
six  years  they  have  been  579,  including  78  re-admissions,  giving  an 
average  of  881  new  cases  a  year.  And  when  we  take  into  consideration 
that  in  the  earlier  years  of  its  existence  the  Asylum  was  regarded  with 
some  distrust  by  the  various  boards  of  guardians,  as  well  as  by  the  poor 
generally,  which  tended  in  some  degree  to  deter  from  sending  patients 
to  us ;  and  that  latterly  the  alteration  in  levying  the  charge  for  the  insane 
poor  has  given  additional  inducements  to  parishes  to  send  them  to  the 
Asylum,  there  is  good  reason  to  believe  that  the  annual  admissions  are 
at  the  present  time  as  good,  or  rather  a  better  test  of  the  amount  of 
insanity  among  the  poor  of  the  county,  than  they  were  eighteen  years 
ago;  and  the  inference  to  be  drawn  from  these  results  is  certainly 
adverse  to  any  supposed  increase  of  the  disorder,  that  is,  of  the  actual 
proportion  of  persons  who  become  insane  among  the  population  of  this 
county. 

In  closing  this  Report,  I  beg  respectfully  to  tender  to  your  Committee 
my  very  sincere  thanks  for  the  many  marks  of  confidence  I  have 
experienced  at  your  hands  during  the  past  year,  and  for  the  kindly 
consideration  with  which  any  suggestions  I  have  had  to  make,  connected 
with  the  Asylum,  have  been  entertained.
