750 were shot by the sentry, attempting an escape from Prison, and three were killed by a fall of stone, while at work on the roads. The table exhibits the number of persons who have reported themselves sick during each month, and who have consequently been visited by the Colonial Surgeon. In most instances, it should be observed (and this is especially the case with the Indian Policemen), the sickness amongst them was so slight as to require only, for its cure, rest. The report from month to month would count as separate cases. To obviate a misunderstanding on this point, the following table is annexed.
| No of Policemen actually sick | Europeans | Indians | Chinese | Total for both Police | Actual No of sick | Total No of Deaths | Percentage of deaths to cases |

ought's undisturbed rest. Amongst the Prisoners, the prevailing complaints were Secondary Venereal eruptions, and scorbutic ulcerations of the legs, toes, and fingers. The table, therefore, records a greater number of cases of sickness than really deserved the designation, as the aggregate of the monthly returns of sick, both as regards the Police and the Prisoners, would afford a very fallacious estimate of the number of actually sick, inasmuch as chronic cases remain...
