Deduct proportion of difference in strength in 1848, and it will be found that the actual excess of sickness in 1848 over 1847 amounts to 141 cases, while the excess of deaths is 30; but it must be remembered that 20 deaths in 1848 resulted from accident, and thus the comparison of deaths from disease in the two years will be as 6, in 1847, is to 14, in 1848.

The preceding table shows the actual number of Prisoners admitted for treatment during the year to be 162 cases; and the average number under treatment for month, to be 20. The average duration of disease was confined to the Malays and Chinese. Two resulted from dysentery; one from valvular disease of the heart, and five from hospital gangrene, supervening on slight ulcers, produced by the friction of the irons. The disease called "hospital gangrene" it is proper to say, is contagious and epidemic in its nature, and most decidedly malignant. In one case of gangrene, amputation of the infected limb was tried, but without success. The worst case, after the expiration of the term of imprisonment, was removed to the Civil Hospital, where the disease rapidly lost its malignant character, and the patient recovered; from which it is evident that removal from the infected...
