| 1874 | Dinsha Manekji Petit Asylum (Dinshah Manockji Petit Leprosy Hospital)"The Ratnagiri Leper Asylum was instituted in 1874-75 and the cost of buildings was met by a donation of Rs 15,500 from Mr Dinshaw Manekji Petit of Bombay, the total cost being Rs 27,000. Of this difference Rs 13,344 was provided by public subscription and the remainder from local funds. A managing committee was formed at a general meeting of subscribers, which committee is still in existence. The asylum was inspected on the 6th of February. It consists of wards well adapted for the purpose, and it can accommodate 100 persons. At the period of my visit, there were 27 males and 9 females; total 36. As mentioned in the remarks on leprosy, papargraph 13, the monsoon is the period when lepers most appreciate the asylum. Nearly all the cases at my visit were leprosy in an advanced stage."

| 1886 | Dinsha Manekji Petit Asylum (Dinshah Manockji Petit Leprosy Hospital)"Rules have been passed from time to time by the Hospital Committee, chiefly with a view to stopping, if possible, patients absconding. On Dr McCalman's recommendations, the committee ruled in 1886 that a leper who absconded should not be readmitted. I found however that the lepers came back and sought readmission on account of the disease becoming aggravated, and that they were frequently in such a condition that it would have been nothing short of cruelty to refuse them admission."
