The mortality rates are considerably in excess of those for 1861, which, however,
was a remarkably healthy year, whereas the one under report was as marked by the
reverse. Cholera, from April to July, was certainly one cause of increased sickness
and mortality, and from that date up to the close of the year the Jail was overcrowded.
During the latter period twelve deaths occurred, all, with two exceptions, connected with
the existence of a cachectic condition of health :—
* “ The sanitary state of the Jail was less satisfactory than in 1861. Compared,
however, with past experience, the mortality was but very
* Annual Report by Civil Surgeon, little above the average, as shown in the accompanying
table, embracing a period of two years prior to my
being in medical charge, while it contrasts favourably with the figures given in Mr.
Bettington’s report, which show the average annual mortality as 7T22 per-cent to
strength for the decennial period previous to 1854. But in instituting comparisons
it must ever be remembered that 1851, equally with 1857, was entirely exceptional,
as regards immensity generally, from the more severe forms of disease and conse
quent lowness in the rate of mortality. Such years w r ould appear to be cyclical in
occurrence; at least they are not to be accounted for by ordinary explanation :—
