This gives an average of 15 inmates daily throughout the year; but I may mention that during the last five months of the year the average was kept higher than usual by the continued residence of 4 destitute South Sea Islanders (picked up at Sea,) besides one European female and two children, all waiting an opportunity to be sent back to their respective homes.
On a former occasion I was led to recommend
