More conflicting was the presence of the English physician William Benham who, in addition to insisting on the need for medical treatment of madness, issued a lapidary report about the overcrowding and the conditions in which the alienated were locked up in the Casa de Orates de Santiago. The report was answered by the administrator of the Pedro Nolasco Marcoleta establishment who, among other things, pointed out that it was not possible to "throw the demented poor into the streets, under the pretext that the establishment did not have the capacity to receive them". The deep differences in the perception they had of what should be a House of Orates made the relations between the two were never harmonious. <br /><br />Doctor of medicine and civil servant of the Universidad de Aberdeen. Director of West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum Wakefield, Royal College Hospital of London<br />
