HC Deb 28 April 1863 vol 170 cc858-9
GENERAL BUCKLEY

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Building intended for Criminal Lunatics is ready; and whether those Criminal Lunatics now confined at the Private Asylum at Fisherton, near Salisbury, amounting to the number of 284, are likely shortly to be removed to the new Asylum?

SIR GEORGE GREY

, in reply, said, he was informed that a large portion of the building referred to by the hon. and gal- lant Member was now nearly ready, so that about 100 patients might shortly be removed to it. He did not know at what time a larger number could be received. He understood that the first hundred patients to be placed in the Asylum would be females.
