REPOST  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  VISITORS 


OF  THE 

CnEntt|  jCtraotit  Sstjlturt  at  ^restniirli, 

TO  THE 

Adjourned  Annual  Session  held  December  29th,  1859. 


County  Lunatic  Asylum ,  Prestwick, 

29 th  December,  1859. 

/ 

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Act  1G  &  17  Vic.  cap. 
97,  the  Committee  of  Visitors  of  the  County  Lunatic  Asylum  at 
Prestwich,  present  their  report  for  the  past  year  to  the  Court  of 
Annual  General  Session  of  the  Peace. 

The  buildings  and  grounds  are  in  their  usual  satisfactory  con¬ 
dition.  A  new  dining-room,  with  scullery  and  a  range  of  closets, 
have  been  added  to  the  female  department,  and  new  closets  have 
been  erected  in  the  male  airing-courts.  Under  the  directions  of 
the  Superintendent,  the  attendants  and  patients  contributed  a 
large  portion  of  the  labor  in  connection  with  the  new  buildings,  and 
executed  all  the  ordinary  repairs  throughout  the  Asylum.

The  health  of  the  patients  has  been  very  good ;  and  the  Super¬ 
intendent’s  report,  it  is  anticipated,  will  show  a  marked  decrease 
in  the  number  of  deaths. 

During1  the  year,  72  males  and  94  females  were  admitted  into 
the  Asylum  ;  51  males  and  60  females  were  discharged,  of  whom 
38  males  and  48  females  were  cured,  and  24  males  and  24  females 
died. 

On  the  28th  instant,  242  males  and  257  females  remained  on 
the  books  of  the  Establishment. 

The  patients  have  been  maintained  at  an  uniform  weekly  charge 
of  7s.  7 d.  each. 

No  change  has  taken  place  among  the  superior  officers,  who 
have  been  indefatigable  in  the  discharge  of  their  various  duties, 
and  whose  conduct  has  been  in  all  respects  most  satisfactory. 

Ever  since  January  1854,  successive  Committees  of  Visitors 
have  represented  to  the  Court  the  great  difficulties  experienced  by 
them  in  their  endeavours  to  retain  accommodation  for  such  urgent 
cases  as  appeared  to  be  specially  dependant  on  immediate  treat¬ 
ment  tor  their  hope  of  ultimate  recovery,  and  have  recommended 
an  enlargement  of  the  Asylum  to  meet  the  requirements  of  a  very 
rapidly  increasing  population ;  but  up  to  the  present  time  nothing 
has  been  done  to  meet  those  representations.  On  this  subject 
your  Committee  would  reiterate  with  increased  earnestness,  the 
observations  and  suggestions  of  former  Committees. 


PEESTWICH  ASYLUM. 


i 


In  tlie  year  1858  105,  and  during  the  past  year  79,  patients 
were  refused  admission  from  want  of  room.  These  numbers,  large 
as  they  are,  by  no  means  represent  the  entire  number  of  patients 
who,  year  by  year  suffer,  it  may  be  permanently,  from  want  of 
immediate  care.  It  is  generally  known  that  the  Asylum  is  full, 
and  that  the  most  urgent  cases  only  can  be  admitted.  Hence  applica¬ 
tions  that  would  otherwise  be  made  are  withheld,  and,  if  a  patient 
be  refused  admission  one  week,  it  seems  hopeless  to  renew  the 
application  for  another  patient  the  week  following. 

It  was  believed  that  the  increased  accommodation  provided  for 
Lunatics  in  many  of  the  Union  Workhouses  would  so  far  relieve 
the  Asylum,  as  to  ensure  for  every  hopeful  case  the  earliest  ap¬ 
plication  of  a  curative  process;  but  such  has  not  been  the  result, 
notwithstanding,  the  attention  of  your  Committee  has  been  steadily 
directed  to  the  removal  from  the  Asylum  of  all  patients,  who  with¬ 
out  much  disadvantage  to  themselves  or  risk  to  others,  might  bo 
maintained  elsewhere  at  a  less  cost. 

The  enlargement  of  the  County  Lunatic  Asylum  at  Rainhill, 
now  in  progress,  by  which  it  is  expected  about  260  additional 
patients  may  be  accommodated,  will  not  aftord  any  reliei  as 
regards  the  Salford  Hundred:  indeed  it  will  scarcely  be  sufficient 
to  meet  the  exigencies  of  Liverpool  and  the  neighbourhood. 

On  the  31st  of  December,  1858,  according  to  the  last  official  re¬ 
turns,  there  were  156  pauper  patients  confined  in  the  private  and 
other  non-Countv  Asylums,  at  an  annual  cost  to  the  Unions  and 

as  w

County  of  £5627,  or  about  14s.  per  week  for  each  patient,  and 
1322  under  the  care  of  parish  officers.  At  the  present  time  it  is 
believed  there  are  181  pauper  Lunatics  at  Haydock  Lodge,  and 
that  no  more  patients  can  be  received  into  that  Establishment. 

Every  effort  has  been  made  by  successive  Committees,  by  trifling 
additions,  by  enlargements,  and  by  the  adaptation  of  rooms  to 
other  purposes  than  those  for  which  they  were  originally  intended, 
to  procure  the  utmost  accommodation  that  the  present  buildings 
are  capable  of  supplying;  so  that  it  would  appear  to  be  impossible 
for  any  future  Committee,  without  the  direct  aid  of  the  Court,  in 
the  slightest  degree  to  mitigate  the  evils  complained  of. 

The  time  has  certainly  arrived  when  the  interests  of  humanity 
and  every  motive  of  economy  (for  each  case  of  Lunacy  either  pro¬ 
tracted  or  confirmed  in  consequence  of  treatment  delayed,  inflicts 
a  corresponding  pecuniary  loss)  demand  that  the  question  of  en¬ 
larged  accommodation  for  the  insane  poor  should  be  deferred  no 
longer,  but  that  some  decisive  steps  should  at  once  be  taken 
towards  the  accomplishment  of  so  necessary  an  object. 

Your  Committee  venture  to  suggest  that  in  connection  with 
this  Asylum,  there  be  erected  “detached  buildings  of  a  simple 
and  inexpensive  character”  in  accordance  with  the  economical 
views  recently  promulgated  by  the  Commissioners  in  Lunacy. 


THOS.  S.  MILLS, 

Chairman  of  the  Committee. 


REPORT  OF  SUPERINTENDENT. 


Gentlemen, 


County  of  Lancaster  Asylum, 

Prestwick,  February  17th,  1860. 


I  have  the  honour  to  lay  before  you  the 
usual  statistical  report  of  the  state  of  the  Asylum  during  the  past 
year. 

On  the  1st  of  January,  1859,  there  remained  in  the  Asylum 
492  patients,  viz  : — 245  men,  and  247  women.  The  number 
admitted  during  the  year  amounted  to  170,  (75  men  and  95 
women,)  making  a  total  of  662  under  care  and  treatment  during 
that  period. 

86  have  been  discharged,  recovered ; 

7  ditto  relieved ; 

17  ditto  not  improved  ; 

1  escaped;  and 
49  have  died ; 

leaving  502  in  the  establishment  on  the  1st  January,  1860.

PRESTWICK  ASYLUM. 


The  recoveries  (50.58  per  cent.. on  the  admissions)  are  in  about 
the  same  proportion  as  those  of  the  preceeding  five  years.  The 
mortality  has  been  less,  the  per  centage  of  deaths  having  been 
7.40  upon  the  total  number  under  treatment. 

The  chief  causes  of  death  have  been,  as  heretofore,  diseases  of 
the  brain  (combined,  in  most  cases,  with  general  paralysis)  and 
pulmonary  consumption. 

The  general  health  of  the  patients  has  been  good  throughout 
the  year. 

The  only  interruption  to  the  well-doing  of  the  establishment 
during  the  year  was  a  suicide.  It  happened  in  the  case  of  a 
young  woman  who  from  the  time  she  wras  admitted  made  constant 
and  various  attempts  to  destroy  herself.  She  ultimately  suc- 
peeded  by  hanging  herself  in  one  of  the  bedrooms. 

With  respect  to  the  management  of  the  Asylum  I  have  only  to 
report  that  the  officers  and  servants  have  not  relaxed  in  their 
endeavours  to  promote  the  happiness  and  comfort  of  the  patients, 
and  to  maintain  the  Institution  in  its  usual  state  of  efficiency  and 
good  order. 


The  great  increase  in  the  numbers  of  Lunatics  in  this  county 
(from  whatever  causes  it  may  arise)  and  the  inadequate  accom¬ 
modation  for  those  unhappy  creatures,  are  so  well  known  to  you 
that  it  might  be  considered  out  of  place  on  my  part  to  allude  at

any  length  to  the  circumstance  ;  hut  I  will  take  leave  respectfully 
to  express  a  hope,  that  the  subject  which  you  are  now  so  seriously 
considering,  may  not  be  allowed  to  drop,  until  you  have  made 
ample  provision  for  those  who  are  constantly  excluded  from  the 
benefits  which  County  Asylums  so  fully  afford,  and  I  may  add, 
all  things  being  taken  into  consideration,  at  so  moderate  a  cost. 

The  Commissioners  in  Lunacy  at  their  last  visit  left  the  follow¬ 
ing  report — 


“ Prestwick  County  Asylum, 

11  October  5th,  1859. 

“  Since  the  last  visit  of  the  Commissioners,  on  the  24th  July, 
1858,  189  patients  have  been  admitted  ;  135  (including  one  es- 
caj>ed)  have  been  discharged ;  and  63  have  died,  the  deaths 
arising  chiefly  from  general  paralysis  on  the  part  of  the  men,  and 
consumption  on  the  part  of  the  women.  One  death  from  suicide. 

“There  are  now  500  patients  (248  males,  and  252  females)  in 
the  Asylum,  of  whom  20  are  under  medical  treatment.  The 
Seclusion  appears  by  the  register  to  have  been  for  the  most  part 
confined  to  a  few  patients. 

“  We  have  to-dav  seen  all  the  patients  and  inspected  their 
wards,  which  are  generally  clean,  and  free  from  offensive  odours. 
The  patients,  with  the  exception  of  some  females  who  were  noisy 
and  excited,  were  tranquil  at  the  time  of  our  visit.

“In  reference  to  tlie  points  adverted  to  in  our  last  entry,  we 
find — 


1. — -That  it  lias  still  been  necessary  to  refuse  patients  admis¬ 
sion,  owing  to  tlie  want  of  accommodation  in  the  Asylum.  Tlie 
expediency  of  enlarging  the  establishment,  however,  by  means  of 
a  separate  building  on  the  present  land,  is  under  consideration. 
The  additions  contemplated  are,  we  are  glad  to  learn,  of  a  cheap 
character,  adapted  to  patients  who  require  less  attention  than 
those  of  a  curable,  suicidal,  or  violent  character. 


“  2. — Access  has  been  made  to  the  grounds  of  the  Asylum  from 
the  refractory  wards,  by  means  of  doors  near  to  the  wards, 
instead  of  from  the  airing  grounds. 

“3,  4. — The  reservoir  is  not  covered  over  ;  nor  have  basins 
and  jugs  been  introduced  into  the  dormitories.  The  lavatories, 
however,  are  about  to  be  increased.  At  present  they  appear  to 
us  insufficient. 


“On  enquiry  we  learn  that  the  number  of  persons  employed  in 
various  ways  amounts  to  340,  of  whom  160  are  men,  and  180  are 
women.  About  70  males  are  employed  generally  in  the  grounds, 
and  about  45  in  various  trades.  About  300  patients  attend 
religious  exercises. 


“  There  is  a  night-watch  on  each  side  of  the  Asylum,  the  effect

of  which  is  reported  to  be  very  beneficial  in  keeping  down  the 
number  of  wet  and  dirty  patients.  Owing  to  the  recent  introduc¬ 
tion  of  some  had  cases,  the  number  of  wet  or  dirty  patients  last 
night  was  35. 

“  The  establishment  continues  under  the  care  of  Mr.  Holland, 
whose  care  and  anxiety  for  its  improvement  has  been  adverted  to 
on  former  visits.
