OF  THE 


COMMITTEE  OF  VISITORS 

OF  THE 

LINCOLNSHIRE  COUNTY  ASYLUM 

FOR 

PAUPER  LUNATICS. 


MARCH,  1858. 


The  Committee  of  Visitors  have  to  report  to  the  several 
Courts  of  Quarter  Sessions,  that  the  Buildings  and 
Works  in  enlargement  of  the  Asylum  (by  the  addition 
of  another  story  to  each  of  the  receding  Wings,  with 
Dormitories,  Day  rooms,  &c.)  are  now  completed,  and 
that  accommodation  has  been  provided  for  the  reception 
of  150  additional  patients  beyond  the  original  number 
of  250,  thus  making  room  for  400. 

The  Committee  have  also  to  report  that  the  total 
cost  of  the  works,  including  the  furniture  and  fitting's. 


1 


beds  and  bedding,  and  clothing  and  outfit  for  the 
additional  patients,  will  not  exceed  the  estimate  of 
£10,000  submitted  to  the  Courts  of  Quarter  Sessions  at 
Michaelmas  1856,  and  by  the  same  Courts  authorised 
to  be  expended. 

The  cost  will  also  include  a  new  Boundary  Wall  on 
the  south  side,  not  comprised  in  the  original  estimate. 

The  average  daily  resident  number  of  patients  during 
the  past  year  has  been  2/8,  viz.,  183  Males  and  140 
Females  ;  but,  during  the  time  of  building,  many  of  the 
Lincolnshire  patients  have  been  accommodated  in  the 
Yorkshire  and  Derbyshire  Asylums,  all  of  whom  havo 
now  been  brought  back  to  the  new  wards. 

The  average  weekly  cost  of  maintenance  during  the 
past  year  has  been  9s.  7Jd.,  being  a  further  reduction 
of  Sjd.  upon  the  cost  of  the  preceding  year ;  and  the 
Committee  have  reason  to  believe  that  the  cost  of  the 
present  current  quarter  will  be  9s.  Odd. 

The  Committee  subjoin  an  account  of  the  Expenditure 
on  the  Fabric  Account  for  the  past  year,  shewing  a 
balance  of  £3583  4s.  Od.  in  the  Treasurer’s  hands,  on 
the  1st  January  last,  applicable  to  the  cost  of  the  new 
Buildings.

FIFTH  ANNUAL  REPORT 

OE  TIIE 


MEDICAL  SUPERINTENDENT. 


Gentlemen, 

I  have  the  honor  to  submit  to  you  the  Medical 
Report  of  the  Asylum  for  the  past  year. 

The  number  of  patients  resident  on  the  first  of 
January,  1857,  was  278,  consisting  of  136  men,  and 
142  women.  During  the  vear  42  men  and  38  women 
were  admitted,  making  the  total  number  under  treat¬ 
ment  358,- — 178  men  and  180  women.  Of  these,  fifteen 
men  and  ten  women  died,  ten  men  and  seven  women 
were  sent  out  recovered,  and  twelve  men  and  thirteen 
women  were  removed  to  the  N.  and  E.  Ridings**  Asvlum 
to  remain  during  the  progress  of  our  new  buildings. 
There  were  thus  left  in  the  Asylum  at  the  end  of  the 
year  291  patients,  of  whom  141  were  men  and  150 
women.

of  men  being  132.73,  and  of  women  140.2/. 

o  J 

Mean  mortality.  The  mortality,  calculated  on  the  mean  resident 
number,  was  9.15  per  cent.  It  was  4.18  per  cent, 

greater  on  the  men’s  side  than  on  that  of  the  women. 

The  recoveries,  calculated  on  the  admissions,  were 
21.25  per  cent,™ 23.8  percent,  of  men,  and  18.42  per 
cent,  of  women. 

It  was  found  at  the  end  of  the  year,  that,  after 
reviewing  carefully  the  whole  of  the  cases  in  the  Asylum, 
only  3  men  and  14  women  were  probably  curable,  and 
that  the  number  of  incurables  amounted  to  268,  being 
an  increase  of  13  in  this  class  of  patients  since  the 

causes  of  their  preceding  year.  The  causes  of  this  progressive  ae- 

accumulation  in  .  , .  *  . , ,  .  ,  f,  ,  .  ,  . 

the  Asylum,  cumulation  will  not  be  found  solely  m  an  increasing 
number  of  admissions,  but  must  also  be  sought  for  in 
the  ages  of  the  patients  when  brought  to  the  Asylum, 
the  forms  and  duration  of  their  mental  disorders,  and 
the  bodily  ailments  with  which  their  insanity  was 
accompanied,  all  of  which  have  direct  and  powerful 
influence  on  the  number  of  deaths  and  recoveries,  and, 
consequently,  also  on  that  of  the  residual  chronic  cases. 
In  the  Table  shewing  the  forms  of  mental  disorder  of 


Number  of 
incurable  cases. 


the  patients  on  admission,  it  is  seen  that  7  men  and  4 
women  were  imbecile,  (some  from  natural  decay,  others 
from  previous  attacks  of  paralysis),  and  that  9  men  and 
3  women  were  either  imbecile  from  birth,  or  idiotic, 
thus  giving  an  addition  of  23  cases  (or  28 J  per  cent,  of 
all  admitted,)  of  whose  recovery  no  reasonable  hope 
could  be  entertained.  Some  of  them,  indeed,  were 
already  approaching  the  natural  termination  of  their 
helplessness,  and,  it  might  be  truly  said,  were  brought 


f 

,  i 


5 


into  the  Asylum  to  die.  In  the  next  Table,  13  cases 
are  recorded  as  having  their  insanity  complicated  with 
epilepsy,  paralysis,  or  general  paralysis.  This  gives  a 
per  centage  of  16  J  of  the  admissions,  which,  although 
more  favorable  than  in  the  preceding  year,  when  the 
proportion  of  this  class  of  cases  amounted  to  20J  per 
cent.,  must  still  be  regarded  as  a  large  average.  Such 
cases,  as  is  well  known,  add  nothing  to  the  recoveries, 
but  contribute  heavily  to  the  obiuuary  and  list  of  in¬ 
curables.  Again,  from  the  Table  shewing  the  duration 
of  mental  disorder  in  the  patients  admitted,  it  is  easily 
deduced  that  the  number  of  patients  brought  to  the 
Asylum  in  whom  the  insanity,  occurring  for  the  first 
time,  had  been  existing  more  than  three  months,  was 
larger  than  in  any  former  year,  being  in  the  proportion 
of  33f  per  cent.  It  can  scarcely  be  doubted  that  many 
of  these  had  fallen  into  an  incurable  state  through  delay 
of  proper  treatment.  The  consideration  of  these  three 
Tables  is  quite  sufficient  to  satisfy  the  mind  that  so  long 
as  the  character  of  cases  sent  to  the  Asylum  continues 
to  be  the  same  as  it  has  hitherto  been,  the  accumulation 
of  incurables  cannot  cease,  even  supposing  that  no 
absolute  increase  of  pauper  lunatics  should  be’  taking 
place  in  the  county. 

The  Institution  cannot,  of  course,  be  regarded  as 
purely  a  curative  hospital — its  Asy^m-element  must 
always  very  largely  preponderate  ;  but  still  it  is  worthy 
of  the  fullest  consideration  whether  it  is  desirable  to 
send  so  many  poor  demented  and  harmless  people  to  it, 
and  away  from  the  neighbourhood  of  their  friends.  No 
benefit  can  accrue  to  them  beyond  what,  one  would 
suppose,  could  be  readily  afforded  in  a  well-ordered

workhouse;  and  the  distances  from  which  they  are 
brought  are  sometimes  so  great  as  to  preclude  the 
possibility  of  their  ever  being  visited  by  their  relatives. 
It  is  true,  the  paralytic  cases  are  occasionally  irritable, 
and  involve  some  trouble  in  their  care ;  they  are  also, 
owing  to  their  palsy,  not  unfrequently  of  unclean  habits ; 
but,  on  the  other  hand,  their  paralyzed  limbs  are  an 
effective  security  against  their  being  dangerous  to  others, 
and  the  simplest  attendance  and  nursing  prevents  them 
from  being  dangerous  to  themselves. 

Although  the  mortality  was  slightly  in  excess  of 
enerai  health,  that  of  the  previous  year,  the  general  health  of  the 
patients  was  remarkably  good.  A  few  isolated  cases  of 
Diarrhaea  occurred  in  the  spring,  and  again  in  the 
autumn,  but  were  speedily  checked ;  one  only,  assuming 
a  dysenteric  character,  proved  fatal,  and  in  this,  on  post¬ 
mortem  examination,  long  standing  Melanotic  disease  of 
the  intestines  was  discovered.  Of  the  other  deaths, 
eleven  were  referable  to  Disease  of  the  Brain  and 
auses  of  death.  Membranes, — including  General  Paralysis  and  Epilepsy, 
three  to  Pulmonary  Consumption,  two  to  Hepatic 
Disease,  three  to  Marasmus  and  general  exhaustion, 
one  to  extensive  Cellular  Abscesses,  and  four,  whose 
ages  were  respectively  75,  77,  79,  and  80  years,  to 
decay  of  Nature. 

No  suicide,  sudden  death,  or  other  case  requiring  an 
inquest  occurred,  nor  did  any  injury  of  moment  befall 
any  of  the  patients. 

It  is  almost  needless  to  state  that  the  Asylum  was 
th^Asyium  °f  occupied  during  the  greater  part  of  the  year.  The 
patients  sent  to  the  N.  and  E.  Ridings’  Asylum  were 
soon  replaced  by  the  admission  of  other  cases,  and  the 


pressure  towards  the  close  of  the  year,  especially  on  the 
women’s  side,  was  somewhat  severe.  Some  incon¬ 
veniences  also  arose  both  to  patients  and  attendants 
from  the  breach  made  in  the  usual  order  of  the  Asylum 
by  the  new  works,  although  it  cannot  be  said  to  have 
been  greater  than  might  reasonably  have  been  anti¬ 
cipated.  All,  however,  were  borne  cheerfully,  and  will 
be  most  amply  compensated  by  the  additional  space, 
means  of  classification,  and  resulting  comforts,  which 
will  be  afforded  by  the  opening  of  the  new  wards.  It 
was  not  found  necessary  for  the  Superintendent  to 
avail  himself  of  the  authority  given  to  him  by  the  Com¬ 
mittee  to  discharge  any  of  the  workmen  employed  by 
the  Contractor,  no  complaint  of  any  kind  having  been 
made  against  them. 

The  employment  and  recreation  of  the  patients 
received  the  same  care  as  in  former  years,  and  offer  but 
little  for  comment.  Two  Tables  showing  the  principal 
modes  of  occupation  are,  as  usual,  appended ;  but  there 
are  many  items  of  labor  done  by  the  patients  that  cannot 
easily  be  tabulated,  although  forming,  in  the  aggregate, 
no  inconsiderable  part  of  their  industrial  occupation. 

During  the  warm  summer  months  the  comfort  of 
the  working  patients  would  be  much  enhanced  if  they 
were  provided  with  jackets  and  waistcoats  of  some 
suitable  and  cheap  linen  or  linsey-woolsey  material,  in 
place  of  the  warm  woollen  which  they  now  wear,  or 
rather  cast  aside  whenever  actively  employed.  It  is 
also  desirable  that  these  patients  should  have  a  second 
suit  of  clothes  to  wear  on  Sundays.  The  “  day  of  rest  ” 
would  then  be  marked  by  that  neatness  and  propriety 
in  their  appearance,  which  is  not  only  fitting,  but 


12 


customary  to  them  at  home,  and  another  beneficial 
influence  would  be  brought  to  bear  on  their  minds. 
An  addition  of  one  penny  to  the  weekly  rate  for  clothing 
for  twelve  months,  would,  with  the  present  stock  in 
hand,  be  sufficient  to  meet  the  first  outlay,  and  the 
subsequent  cost  of  keeping  up  two  suits  would  be  no 
greater  than  is  at  present  incurred  with  one 

A  few  changes  took  place  in  the  staff  of  nurses  and 
officers  and  attendants,  but,  with  only  one  exception,  all  performed 
attendants.  ^ejr  duties  faithfully  and  honestly,  and  those  who  left 

did  so  to  suit  their  own  private  purposes.  The  assistance 
,  rendered  by  Dr.  Allen  in  all  that  relates  to  the  medical 

duties  of  the  Asylum,  were,  as  they  always  have  been, 
of  the  greatest  value ;  and,  indeed,  all  the  Officers  have 
shewn  a  strong  disposition  to  promote  the  interests  of 
the  Institution  in  every  way. 

The  Annual  Statement  of  Accounts  prepared  by 
the  Steward  and  Clerk  of  the  Asylum,  will  be  presented 
to  the  Committee  with  this  Report,  and  it  is  hoped,  will 
!  give  satisfaction.  Further  reductions  in  the  weekly 

rate  may  be  confidently  expected. 

Most  respectfully  thanking  you  for  the  kind  support 
with  which  my  humble  endeavors  continue  to  be  favored, 

I  have  the  honor  to  remain, 

Gentlemen, 

Your  most  obedient  and  faithful  servant*
