The Commissioners give, in their Report for 1857, a table in support of the statement at p. 236, but it is not borne out by the average of the six largest and six smallest county asylums.

APPENDIX K II.

(Page 276.)

It should have been stated in the text that the ratio of the insane there given to the number of those tried, only refers to those tried for murder. I am indebted to Dr. Guy for the following additional figures, extracted from the last volume of the Judicial Statistics:--

------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+------ |1875.|1876.|1877.|1878.|1879.|1880. ------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+------ Sentenced to death | 33 | 32 | 34 | 20 | 34 | 28 Executed | 18 | 22 | 22 | 15 | 16 | 13 Subsequently certified as | | | | | | insane and sent to Broadmoor| 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 ------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+------

The following figures for 1878 are of interest:--

Removed by order of Secretary of State, acquitted as insane 33.2 Ditto, becoming insane after trial 22.2 Ditto, becoming insane after committal 23.5 Ditto, found or declared insane 20.9 Committed by justices--dangerous lunatics 0.2 ----- 100.0

The last figure is in striking contrast with the return from Ireland, where, on account of the peculiarity of the law, the justices committed 1276 as dangerous lunatics, out of 1393 sent to asylums in the same year.
