THE 

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF 
VISITORS  OF  THE  COUNTY  ASYLUM  FOR  LUNATICS, 

STAFFORD, 

PRESENTED  TO  THE 

COURT  OF  QUARTER  SESSIONS,  JANUARY  4th,  1870. 

- 4 - 

The  51st  Annual  Report  of  the  Visiting  Committee  of  tlie 
County  Lunatic  Asylum,  Stafford,  now  submitted  to  this 
Court,  shews  that  the  present  numbers  in  the  building  are 
519,  of  whom  261  are  males  and  258  females. 

During  the  last  12  months  267  have  been  admitted, 
127  have  been  discharged,  88  have  died,  and  25  have 
been  removed  to  Burntwood  Asylum. 

Of  tbe  127  discharged  11  have  been  re-admitted, 
most  of  whom  have  relapsed  from  a  return  to  their  pre¬ 
vious  habits  of  intemperance,  or  from  insufficiency  of  diet 
in  their  own  homes. 

The  average  of  recoveries  on  the  admissions  has  been 
at  the  rate  of  43  per  cent.,  and  the  average  of  deaths  on 
the  numbers  under  treatment  at  11  per  cent.  Most  of 
the  deaths  have  occurred  in  Lunatics  very  recently 
admitted,  and  several  of  them  within  a  few  days  of  being 
brought  to  the  Asylum. 

At  the  present  time  out  of  519  Lunatics  only  30 
present  any  prospect  of  recovery,  the  remaining  489  being 
perfectly  incurable,  and  likely  to  become  permanent 
residents  during  the  remainder  of  their  lives.  Many  of 


6 


these,  although  incurable,  are  perfectly  harmless  and  quiet, 
and  with  adequate  care,  attention,  and  food  might  do 
equally  well  elsewhere. 

Since  the  last  Report  was  read,  several  persons  have 
been  sent  to  the  Asylum  who  have  not  shewn  any  symp¬ 
toms  of  insanity  after  admission,  the  paroxysms  having 
apparently  left  them  previous  to  removal.  After  a  short 
probation  in  the  Asylum  these  persons  have  been  dis¬ 
charged  and  have  continued  well  up  to  the  present  time. 

The  charge  for  the  maintenance  of  Pauper  Lunatics 
belonging  to  the  County  of  Stafford  has  been  at  the 
average  rate  of  8s.  10|d.  per  week,  and  the  healthy 
appearance  of  those  Lunatics  who  have  been  some  time 
resident  shews  that  the  diet  scale  is  perfectly  adequate 
for  their  support. 

It  is  only  in  consequence  of  the  large  amount  of  pro¬ 
ductive  labour  that  this  low  scale  is  maintained,  whilst 
the  employment  of  the  Lunatics  assists  most  materially 
in  promoting  recovery. 

A  few  minor  alterations  in  the  building  have  been  re¬ 
quired  for  the  improvement  in  the  accommodation ;  but 
no  changes  of  any  extent  have  been  found  necessary, 
although,  from  the  very  considerable  dilapidations  caused 
by  Lunatics,  constant  renovation,  by  painting,  &c.  ,  is 
always  going  on. 

Notice  has  been  received  from  the  Agent  of  Lord 
Stafford  to  give  up  the  Meadow  Land,  now  in  the  occupa¬ 
tion  of  the  Asylum,  with  the  view  of  facilitating  the  sale 
thereof,  should  Lord  Stafford  decide  upon  that  course. 

Neither  accidents  or  casualties  of  any  kind  have 
occurred  since  last  report,  and  your  Committee  are 
pleased  to  say  that  the  Asylum  has  been  quite  free  from 
epidemics  or  fevers  of  any  kind. 


7 


Throughout  the  year  your  Committee  have  given 
their  best  attention  to  the  interests  of  the  Asylum,  and  at 
their  periodical  visits  have  always  found  the  management 
of  the  Asylum  conducted  in  a  satisfactory  way,  and  the 
officers  and  various  officials  attentive  to  their  duties. 

Signed, 

Shrewsbury, 

Chairman.

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMISSIONERS  IN  LUNACY. 

- -4 - 

Stafford  County  Asylum, 

Friday,  3rd  September,  1869. 

Yesterday  and  to-day  we  have  gone  over  every  part  of 
this  Asylum,  and,  excepting  one  female  at  present  absent 
on  trial,  have  seen  all  the  patients,  who  are  in  number 
512. 

Since  the  visit  made  on  the  1st  July  in  last  year  there 
have  been  281  admissions — 144  males  and  137  females  ; 
172  discharges — 81  males  and  91  females  ;  61  of  the 
former  and  76  of  the  latter  being  entered  as  recovered, 
and  12  of  each  sex  have  been  removed  to  Burntwood, 
and  there  have  been  99  deaths — 60  males  and  39  females. 
This  is  a  large  mortality,  but  it  is  accounted  for  by 
the  feeble  condition  in  which  very  many  are  admitted. 
Twenty-three  of  the  number  first  named  died  within  a 
month  and  twelve  more  within  six  weeks  after  they 
were  brought  to  the  Asylum. 

There  was  one  inquest  in  a  case  of  inflammation  of  the 
lungs,  produced  by  accidental  fracture  of  the  ribs  ;  but 
all  the  other  deaths  were  from  causes  ordinary  in  Asylums. 
From  General  Paralysis  and  Epilepsy  there  were  36,  from 
Apoplexy  and  other  disorders  of  the  Brain  28,  from 
Disease  of  the  Lungs  and  Heart  16;  from  Senile  Decay 
13,  and  from  other  common  causes  5.  There  were  hardly 
any  in  bed  as  we  passed  through  the  W ards,  indeed  none 
on  the  Male  Division,  and  only  one  among  the  women ; 
but  there  were  in  the  Infirmary  day  rooms,  and  especially 


9 


on  tlie  male  side,  an  unusual  number  of  very  infirm  and 
unfavorable  cases,  with  a  large  proportion  of  Epileptics. 
Having  this  in  view,  and  the  very  proper  arrangement 
by  which  all  cases  of  sickness  taking  a  serious  form 
are  brought  into  the  Infirmaries,  we  desire  again  very 
urgently  to  report  a  suggestion  formerly  made  for  appoint¬ 
ment  of  an  additional  Night  Attendant  in  each  Division. 
Where  not  only  the  infirm  and  Epileptic  but  the  Suicidal 
are  so  numerous  as  here,  a  thorough  efficiency  in  the 
night  nursing  is  absolutely  essential. 

The  proportion  of  sexes  is  258  males  and  254  females, 
and  there  was  during  our  visit  a  good  deal  of  noise  in  the 
basement  wards,  where  the  worst  patients  of  both  sexes 
are  congregated.  These  wards  have  been  made  ex¬ 
ternally  almost  cheerful  by  judicious  paintings,  and  are 
kept  faultlessly  clean  and  orderly ;  but  they  are  sadly 
wanting  in  those  comforts  of  furniture  and  other  enliven¬ 
ing  influences,  which  are  in  our  opinion  as  necessary  to 
this  class  of  patients  as  to  any  other,  if  the  object  be  to 
cure  bad  habits  rather  than  to  afford  facilities  for  their 
indulgence.  We  repeat,  therefore,  the  suggestion  which 
has  frequently  been  made  for  improvement  in  this  respect, 
and  would  further  suggest  the  desirability  of  trying  the 
effect  on  some  of  those  noisy  inmates  of  removing  them 
to  better  wards,  replacing  them  by  patients  of  a  better 
class  who  are  often  found  willing  and  pleased  to  help  the 
attendants  in  the  wards  occupied  by  troublesome  cases. 

Subject  to  the  remarks  thus  made,  we  thought  the 
condition  of  the  patients  generally,  as  well  in  personal 
appearance  as  in  freedom  from  excitement,  quite  satisfac¬ 
tory.  We  saw  183  of  the  men  well  clothed  and  of  most 
orderly  conduct  and  demeanour,  at  a  good  dinner  well 
served  in  the  Hall ;  and  nearly  all  the  women  were  in 

c 


10 


their  airing  courts  at  our  arrival,  where  they  were  joined 
soon  after  by  a  party  of  between  30  and  40  of  the  most 
quiet  class,  who  had  been  walking  in  the  country.  Such 
extended  walks  can  only,  we  fear,  be  afforded  to  this 
comparatively  limited  class,  until  provision  is  made  for 
all  by  means  of  a  walk  round  the  estate ;  and  considering 
the  numbers  here  to  whose  proper  treatment  facilities 
are  always  available  for  open-air  exercise  would  be  of  the 
greatest  importance,  we  strongly  recommend  the  forma¬ 
tion  of  such  a  walk,  with  seats  and  sunshades.  Excellent 
as  is  the  planting  of  the  airing  courts  of  this  Asylum, 
their  space  is  limited  ;  and  though  nothing  can  be 
pleasanter  in  such  weather  as  the  present  than  the  shade 
they  afford,  they  do  not  yield  what  a  majority  of  the 
patients  require  both  in  winter  and  in  summer,  and  which 
the  walks  recommended  would  supply.  These  Courts, 
we  should  add,  are  carefully  kept. 

The  interior  of  the  Asylum,  too,  was  throughout  in 
the  best  order.  The  bedding  of  the  worst  patients  was 
good  and  clean,  and  the  Wards  occupied  by  them  were 
free  from  any  offensive  odour.  Much  papering  and  paint¬ 
ing  has  been  done  since  the  last  visit,  and  more  is  in 
progress  :  nor  would  it  be  easy  to  excel  in  any  suitable 
ornaments  and  comfort  by  which  the  most  perfect  Asylum 
accommodation  should  be  characterised,  such  Wards  and 
Galleries  as  (for  example)  No.  2  on  the  female  side. 
Reverting  again,  too,  to  the  rooms  where  the  less  favour¬ 
able  cases  are,  we  had  pleasure  in  observing  that  since 
the  last  visit,  cork  carpets  have  been  put  down  in  several 
day  rooms  where  Epileptics  sit,  so  many  of  this  unhappy 
class  shewed  marks  of  injury  from  falls  that  this  kindly  and 
judicious  provision  is  really  an  important  one,  and  we  shall 

be  glad  to  see  it  extended  to  all  their  dormitories  and  da-v 

%/ 


11 


rooms.  With  patients  of  this  kind  on  the  increase,  the 
many  stone  and  plaster  floors  remaining  in  the  Asylum 
require  absolutely  some  such  protection,  until  the  wise  and 
necessary  steps  can  be  taken  of  replacing  them  by  boarded 
floors  :  exclusive  of  the  main  Corridors  of  the  upper  story, 
which  are  also  used  as  sleeping  rooms,,  there  are  still  12 
associated  and  67  single  bedrooms  calling  for  this  change, 
which  we  would  earnestly  commend  to  the  favourable 
consideration  of  the  Committee. 

Another  recommendation  we  think  called  for,  namely, 
that  where,  as  in  some  wards  on  the  female  side,  there 
is  only  one  water-closet  (and  there  is  no  such  ward  with 
less  than  thirty  inmates)  additional  closets  should  be  sup¬ 
plied.  Addition  has  already  in  this  respect  been  made, 
since  the  last  visit,  to  No.  7  on  the  male  side,  but  of  this 
as  of  similar  additions  previously  made  in  the  Male 
Infirmary,  we  regret  we  cannot  speak  favourably.  Both 
are  associated  closets,  one  having  seven  seats  and  the 
other  four,  all  exposed  and  some  facing  each  other ;  an 
arrangement  needlessly  indecent,  and  even  more  gravely 
objectionable  for  its  degrading  tendencies. 

From  the  impression  made  upon  us  by  this  visit,  we 
are  led  further  to  suggest  that  in  the  onerous  duties  of  a 
various  kind  now  solely  discharged  with  so  much  zeal  by 
the  Matron,  she  should  be  relieved  by  the  appointment  of 
a  head  female  attendant.  That  lists  of  the  names  of  the 
patients  be  kept  in  the  several  wards  by  the  attendants  in 
charge,  and  that  former  suggestions,  for  hand-rails  to  the 
staircases,  and  for  associated  amusements  more  frequently 
than  once  a  month,  should  be  adopted. 

As  to  such  amusements,  as  well  as  to  the  regular  em¬ 
ployment  of  the  patients,  there  is  for  the  present  nothing 
to  add  to  what  has  been  said  in  former  entries.  Of  the 


12 


men,  excluding  the  47  who  scrub  and  clean  the  wards, 
114  have  useful  occupation — 78  on  the  land,  and  36  in  the 
shops  and  domestic  offices.  Of  the  women,  making  similar 
deduction  for  ward  cleaning,  138  are  employed  usefully — 
110  at  needlework,  and  28  in  the  laundry  and  domestic 
offices.  About  300  of  both  sexes  take  part  in  the  asso¬ 
ciated  amusements  ;  and  the  musical  practice  is  continued, 
once  a  week  during  the  meffis  supper  in  the  Dining  Hall. 
It  is  very  satisfactory  to  have  to  add  that  the  attendance 
at  the  school  classes  does  not  diminish  in  either  Division, 
between  40  and  50  of  each  sex  receiving  this  advantage. 
The  congregations  at  the  religious  services  number  319  on 
Sundays,  and  268  on  week  days. 

Doctor  Bower  employs  no*  restraint,  and  has  thought 
himself  able  for  some  years  to  dispense  with  the  necessity 
of  resorting  to  seclusion, — in  this  and  other  respects, 
continuing  with  much  ability  to  devote  all  his  time  and 
care  to  the  welfare  of  the  patients.

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  SUPERINTENDENT. 


The  admissions  into  the  Asylum  during  the  year 
1869  have  been  very  numerous,  and  with  the  excep¬ 
tion  of  the  year  1865  were  larger  than  in  any  former 
period  since  the  Asylum  was  opened  in  1819. 

If  the  members  admitted  into  Burntwood  Aux¬ 
iliary  Asylum  direct,  be  added  to  those  received  here, 
a  considerable  increase  amongst  the  Pauper  class  of 
Lunatics  belonging  to  Staffordshire  will  be  found  to 
have  occurred. 

Out  of  the  267  admissions  within  the  12  months 
since  last  report,  thirty-eight  had  been  previously 
in  the  Asylum  ; — the  remaining  229  may  therefore 
be  recorded  as  fresh  cases  of  Insanity. 

In  71  of  these  persons  the  cause  of  the  derange¬ 
ment  of  mind  was  stated  to  be  Hereditary  Tendency  ; 
a  cause  which  will  certainly  not  diminish  in  the 
future  ; — the  histories  of  the  inmates  of  the  Asylum 
shew  that  very  many  of  those  now  resident,  are  the 
sons  and  daughters  of  parents  who  have  themselves 
been  Lunatics,  and  who  have  been  in  this  establish¬ 
ment  at  some  previous  time. 

The  carefully  recorded  cases  of  those  Lunatics 
who  have  been  resident  at  any  time  within  the  last 
50  years  shew,  that  in  many  instances  children  and 
even  grandchildren  descended  from  such  afflicted 
persons  have  since  been  brought  here  ;  the  71 
Hereditary  Lunatics  shewn  by  Table  9  indicate  an

increase  in  the  disorder  from  the  above-mentioned 
cause,,  at  a  greater  ratio  than  formerly. 

The  same  Table  shews  that  the  causes  of  Insanity 
in  the  other  admissions  do  not  materially  differ  from 
those  in  former  reports  ;  Intemperance — Bodily 
Disease — and  Poverty  have  contributed  their  full 
proportion  of  cases ;  42  having  arisen  from  Intem¬ 
perance — 15  from  Poverty  and  Starvation,  and  102 
from  Diseased  Brain  or  some  other  form  of  bodily 
disease. 

Acute  Mania.  Table  2  shews  that  the  proportion  of  cases  of 
Acute  Mania  has  greatly  increased,  93  individuals 
afflicted  with  the  disorder  in  this  form  having  been 
received  within  one  year. 

The  excitement  and  violence  displayed  by  persons 
thus  affected  render  it  necessary  to  retain  a  large 
staff  of  Attendants,  as  incessant  watchfulness  and 
attention  are  required  in  treating  such  forms  of 
Insanity. 

Although  this  type  of  the  disorder  is  so  formid¬ 
able  on  admission,  still  it  presents  more  prospect  of 
recovery  than  many  cases  which  appear  of  less  im¬ 
portance,  if  the  cause  is  accidental  and  if  the  attack 
does  not  arise  from  alteration  in  structure  of  the 
Brain. 

61  cases  of  Melancholia  came  under  treatment, 
and  37  in  a  state  of  Dementia,  in  which  latter  form 
the  Lunatics  are  completely  destitute  of  all  mental 
intelligence,  either  for  the  duration  of  the  disorder 
only,  or  in  most  instances  permanently. 

Out  of  the  267  admissions  113  were  stated  to  have 
shewn  a  propensity  to  commit  suicide,  and  several 
of  them  had  marks  left  by  previous  attempts  on  life.

88  Lunatics  have  died  since  the  last  Report  was  Deaths, 
made  ;  out  of  which  number  50  succumbed  within  12 
months  of  their  admission,  and  19  within  one  month 
of  the  same. 

The  diseased  and  collapsed  state  in  which  the 
majority  of  these  persons  were  removed  to  the 
Asylum  precluded  any  chance  of  recovery ;  in  some 
of  the  cases  the  exhausted  condition  of  the  Lunatics 
was  so  great  that  some  blame  attached  to  officials 
sending  them  in  a  state  of  bodily  disease  too 
advanced  to  bear  removal  without  great  risk. 

127  convalescents  were  discharged  during  the  Recoveries, 
year,  and  of  these  116  have  remained  well,  up  to  the 
present  time. 

In  many  instances  restoration  of  the  intellect  is 
found  to  be  simultaneous  with  improvement  in  the 
bodily  health  ;  but  such  a  condition  only  occurs 
where  the  insanity  arises  from  functional  derange¬ 
ment  ; — where  any  morbid  alterations  of  structure 
exist  no  such  favourable  results  can  be  anticipated ; 
and  it  is  even  found  in  some  cases  that  amendment 
in  the  bodily  health  is  followed  by  actual  loss  of 
mental  power  and  a  state  of  Atrophy  of  the  Brain ; 
in  which  condition  many  of  the  inmates  now  in 
this  Asylum  remain.

Employment 


The  accumulation  of  Imbeciles  and  Idiots  will 
after  a  time  preclude  the  admission  of  fresh  cases 
and  render  fresh  accommodation  necessary. 

The  numerous  recoveries,  116  in  number,  which 
have  taken  place,  are  almost  entirely  amongst  the 
cases  recently  brought  to  the  Asylum ;  and  if  the 
establishment  is  to  continue  as  a  place  for  the  cure 
of  insanity,  it  will  ere  long  be  requisite  to  draft  off 
many  of  the  chronic  and  incurable  class  who  now 
occupy  beds  which  might  be  devoted  to  cases  admit¬ 
ting  of  recovery. 

Many  of  such  cases  might  be  attended  to  in 
wards  attached  to  Workhouses  adequately  fitted  up 
for  the  reception  of  such  harmless  persons.  Good 
diet,  cleanliness,  kindness,  together  with  care  and 
attention  are  alone  requisite  for  them.  The  bodily 
health  of  many  such  persons  is  good  and  little  or  no 
medical  treatment  is  required.  For  such  persons  a 
a  smaller  staff  of  Attendants  would  suffice. 

Difficulties  have  been  found  in  effecting  removals 
to  Workhouses,  but  unless  some  such  system  as  is 
now  advocated  be  carried  out,  more  Lunatic  Asylums 
will  have  to  be  added  to  the  large  number  alreadv 
in  existence  throughout  the  country  before  long. 

No  Diseases  of  an  Epidemic  character  or  from 
local  causes  have  attacked  the  inmates,  and  for 
many  years  the  Asylum  has  been  perfectly  free  from 
any  kind  of  fever. 

Neither  accidents  or  suicides  have  occurred,  and 
the  deaths  which  have  taken  place  have  arisen  from 
diseases  present  in  the  Lunatics  when  admitted. 

Nothing  is  found  to  contribute  to  the  restoration 
of  the  mental  condition  in  so  powerful  a  degree  as 


17 


employment,  and  by  the  occupation  of  the  Lunatics, 
wherever  practicable,  not  only  is  the  restoration  of 
their  intellect  advanced,  but  the  cost  of  the  mainte- 
nance  to  the  different  Unions  is  greatly  diminished. 

Out-door  employment  in  the  grounds  and  on  the 
farm  are  found  to  contribute  chiefly  to  recovery ;  and 
whenever  the  capacity  of  the  Lunatic,  and  as  far  as 
the  limited  extent  of  the  property  allows,  advantage 
is  taken  of  this  to  render  his  employment  not  only 
beneficial  to  himself,  but  advantageous  to  the  Unions 
throughout  the  County  ;  by  effecting  a  diminution  in 
the  cost  of  his  maintenance. 

Many  residents,  from  physical  causes  or  from  Trades  and 

l  i  Amusements 

mental  incapacity,  are  incapable  ol  being  employed 
in  out-door  work.  For  the  former  class,  trades  of 
various  kinds  or  in-door  occupations  are  made  use 
of ; — for  the  latter,  amusements  of  various  kinds — • 
music,  dancing,  pictorial  exhibitions,  or  theatrical 
representation  are  found  of  great  benefit. 

These  entertainments,  if  not  of  too  frequent 
occurrence,  are  found  well  calculated  to  assist  in 
promoting  recovery,  and  are  particularly  beneficial 
in  cases  where  a  suicidal  tendency  or  a  disposition 
to  melancholy  exist. 

Attendances  at  Chapel  and  School  have  been  Attendance 

,  .,  at  Chapel 

carried  out  with  great  regularity.  and  school. 

The  frequent  visits  and  ministrations  of  our 
Chaplain  have  been  most  acceptable  to  the  patients 
generally,  and  of  essential  benefit  to  the  sick  and 
afflicted. 

The  behaviour  of  all  the  Officers  and  Attendants  Conduct  of 
throughout  the  year  past,  both  in  the  male  and 
female  department,  has  been  most  exemplary,  and 


18 


lias  contributed  most  materially  to  increase  the  com¬ 
fort  of  those  under  their  charge  and  to  promote  the 
list  of  recoveries. 

The  unvarying  kindness  and  assistance  at  all 
times  afforded  to  me  by  the  Committee  has  greatly 
lightened  the  onerous  duties  of  the  management, 
and  for  the  encouragement  always  granted  to  me  I 
am  sincerely  grateful. 

I  am,  my  Lords  and  Gentlemen, 

Your  very  obedient  Servant, 

Mark  Noble  Bower, 

Medical  Superintendent.
