The Standard of March 15th reports that 280 patients have been discharged from the public asylums of Bohemia owing to financial difficulties. These arise from political complications preventing the Budget being passed, so that the Provincial Government has been impelled to this extraordinary course. The criminal insane will in future be confined in prisons because they are found to be far cheaper than asylums, and this enforced economy has also suspended all building, and stopped all subventions to charitable institutions.
