The Pall Mall Gazette is hardly so accurate as might be expected from its pretensions to deal ex-cathedrâ with this difficult psychological problem, when it informs its readers that—”For our criminal lunatics, so called, we have three State establishments, exclusive of hospitals for soldiers and sailors, and these are Fisherton House, a certain number of wards in Bethlehem, and Broadmoor Hospital.” Fisherton House is a private licensed asylum, and the criminal wards at Bethlehem have long since been pulled down and a garden now fills their place.Google Scholar
