In comparing the preceding tables, it will be observed that the cases of sickness exceeded the strength. This is to be accounted for in two ways; first, the same individuals will at different times come under treatment for different diseases, and thus each man may represent more than one case of sickness; secondly, the police force is liable to frequent changes, so much so, that were all the individuals reckoned who have been in the service, the average ages above would be struck against nearly double the strength.

When the class of persons who compose the police are considered, their habits and the exposed nature of their duties, the above table shows a most gratifying result. The average mortality in the city of Liverpool is only a fraction below the above numbers.
