The main question : "Is there any general body of insane laws in Prussia?" I have to answer in the negative. It is rather the case that the whole body of insane laws have formed themselves out of the existing legal practice. Tiiis practice, under the intluenco of the autocratic legal boilies (provincial and communal diets) of the ditferent provinces, and in conse- quence of the former want of union among the (ierman Slates (Hanover, Hesse, etc.) has assumed dilTerent forms in ilifl'eient points. As it is hardly i)Ossible, without making very searching, special studies, to give a representation of the present state of affairs, and I must confine myself, to touch only a few main points. I advise Mr. Mussaeus, in order to find out the different i)articulars, to write to the chief Land-Directors of the provinces of East and ^Vest Prussia, Brandenburg, Pom- erania, Silesia, Sleswick-IIolstein, Saxony, and the Rhine Provinces; to the general directors of the munici[)al states of Cassel and Wiesbaden and Frankfort on the ^hiin ; the State Directors of Posen and Westphalia: to send him their regulations, orders and statutes about insane matters, which are not generally published. L In general, I can answer to the first of Mr. M's questions, viz: "What formalities are necessary to place a .1 insane person in an asylum?" In this way : the difference is ')etween incurable, curable, and dubious patients. For the recq)tion of incurable patients, after they have been placed under legal guardianship, in consequence of paragraphs 503, f. f of th^ " Government li 1078 CiKHMANY.

Other provinces will receive jiaupers only, after tlu^ respective communities have i)romised to bear the expenses. The provinces whicli have free-places, make a regulai' difl'er- ence between patients who endanger the public jx-ace, and harmless ones, and will receive the former in preference. In general 1 may n)ako tlio statement, that by far all incurable in.«ane have been received into the asylums; moi'c than half of them are under the care of their home communities, wliert', cxce]»t in the larger cities, very poor provisions have been nuidc for their individual necessities. These mentioned circum- stances are felt as a great evil, and very lately the jjrovincial authorities have been very anxious to improve this tlejilorable condition by enlarging their asylums and increasing the mnn- ber of them. Answer to question 5th. ("rimiiuils who hav(^ committed their crimes during insanity, according to Par. o] of Penal Code (Keichs strafgesetzbuch) are not liable to any judicial pro.sccution ; they are generally, through the intercession of the police court as described under section 1, put into the asylums, where they are retained until eventually eureil. Answer to question 0th. If a criminal while serving his term becomes insane, he will be treated differently in diflerent provinces. In some provinces such insane are received into the asylums, and the ])rison authorities are responsible tor their expenses until eventually pronounced to be incurable. After incurability has been established, the term of imprisonment ends, and the former criminals are classed among the incura- ble insane, and are then sent back into their home communi- ties, or, as mentioned under section 4, are permitted to remain. Some provincial administrations (Hesse Cassel) are, by partic- ular regulations, freed from the necessity to receive criminals into their own asylums; but they arc compelled to place them TP- loso (ii:UM.V.\Y. !!;■ fl!

Persons who are prosecuted on account of misdemeanor o crime, and concerning whom it is doubtful whether they are t be considered responsible for their acts, according to the \)i\ cepts of the government criminal and civil code (lleichsstral gerichtordnung) Par. 01, tf, arc placed in a jiublic asylum ii order to observe their mental condition. After this, \\\v su pervising physician has to pass his o])inion, stating whethc the patient, at the time of the conmiission of the deed, was ii a condition of mental disturbance strong enough to interfon with his volition, or whether he is at present to be considerec as irresponsible. According to the result of such examination, which doe not exclude tiio appeal to higher authorities (chief niedica colleges), the accused will either be committed, acquitted, o the legal authorities disj»ense their judgment altogether, unti the accused shall be pronounced mentally sane. The lengtl of detention in the asylums should regularly not exceed si: weeks, but may be prolonged. SCHNEIDER. BADEN.

It is (|i tionablo whether a prohibition of the right of corresjxjudc can be maintained legally. The onus of proof of its nece^ would certainly rest upon the medical superintendent.

While it is possi that a small })ortion of the chronic insane may be propc eared for in connection with the county j)Oor-houses, the gr majority require a supervision and oversight which cannot extended to them in such places. The condition in which tl are kept, as a general rule, in the poor-houses of the State, 1 frequently been brought to the notice of the Legislature; a although there has been, of late years, a manifest improvemi in their condition and treatment, in several of the county tablishments, it is impossible, from the circumstances wh cliaracterizc the whole arrangement, discipline, and gove ment of such institutions, than these insane poor can be oth M'ise than grossly neglected and foully wronged ; for at i best they are simply kept in places of detention, under i guardianship of a respectable overseer, wlio is wholly ignon of their disease, and of the means necessary for its allcvial or its cure. The truest economy in their behalf will be secured by m ing the well-managed hospitals, or buildings adjacent then the sole receptacles of the insane in the Commonwealth, and making appropriate legislative provisions for all additions their present po})ulation.

Jt is well known that cures have been ellected in aim hoi)i'less cases by giving suitable and acceptable eiitjiloijnieiit to I insane, and it always promotes the comfort, and even hap ness of the i)artially insane. J';mi)loyment is urged soh upon the ground of its inlluencc upon the j)atient, not fn any moti\e of jtrotit to be derived from it, and it is believed be a most ed'ective therapeutical measure, often morecomposi tlian the aihninistration of medicinal sedatives. ]n Fran work-shops for patients are just as much u jxirt of their systi of treatment as any other instrumentality or agency emj)lo} to })romote their restoration. Thus we should seek to give these heli)less ones content minds, and hasten their relief l)y drawing their thoughts aw from tiieir mental inlirmity; and to relieve the hospital of prison aspect by some occupation congenial to their pecul habits and tastes, as modified by their malady. nth. RESTRAINTS. — If there were more exercise and us occupation, there would be less cnij)loyment of mechanical, even medicinal restraints advocated and practiced by so superintendents. In English hospitals, restraints are considered injui-id they rely solely upon moral influence of suitable kind, < pation, and exercise, and have found by experience, that w patients have had such reasonable treatment, there was need of mechanical restraint of any kind. The suggestioi the advocates of mechanical restraints, that where they an used, medicinal sedatives are more largely em})loyed, is a I one. On the contrary, the irritation caused by tlie foruu not experienced, and thus the various drugs used to reliev are not necessary. These statements are based upon \uu[ tionable personal knowledge and observation. In institutions in this country, where the abolition o; straint apparatus has taken place, the same results have lowed.
