REMARKS.—It will be seen that the fever cases are the most numerous, and next to them diarrhea and ulcers. The fever is the ordinary colony fever; the cases of diarrhoea and fever are, in my opinion, caused by exposure to damp and wet while at work.
The gonorrhea, ulcers, asthma, and bronchitis, were brought with the prisoners when they came to gaol. Two cases of injury to the wrists-from the use of the stocks-will be seen in this half year:

PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE, LONDON
Fellowship
District Prison, West Coast, January 22, 1875.
I have the honour to forward to you the register of cases treated as patients from Fellow- ship District Gaol, at Hague Estates Hospital, during the half-year ended the 30th June, 1874, and and also the half-yearly return of such cases to 31st December, 1874. The first ten months of the year the patients were treated at Hague Hospital, and the last two at the district Gaol Hospital. The large per centage of cases for the first ten months was partly owing to the prisoners having to be sent to the Estates Hospital for trivial ailments, no provision having been made for the treat- ment of such cases at the District Prison. During the last three months of the year there has been a general increase of sickness on the coast. The general health of the prison has been good-- only one death has occurred since July, 1878. There has been no epidemic for the year.
will you
I have furnished you with a synopsis of the diseases during each half year, and that observe that fevers (1), diarrhoea (16), dysentery (15), have been the most prevalent diseases.
They cannot in any way be attributed or traced either to insufficiency of diet, discipline, peculiarity of the locality, or arrangement of the prison buildings.
I have, &c. (Signed) H. C. STEVENSON.
