Had the figures relating to cases in the former year been correct, cases prolonged from month to month are repeated in the reckoning of each month in 1847, whilst in 1848 and 1849 the admissions alone are used in the calculations of each month.

The great mortality of 1848, occasioned by the shipwreck of 21 Policemen in the typhoon, has very much enlarged the general average for the three years.

Table 12.7. — Showing the total number of Prisoners in the Victoria Jail during year 1849, the number of sick and deaths, and the proportion of sick and mortality to strength.

Prisoners Sick Deaths Proportion of Sick to Strength Proportion of Deaths to Strength
1252 134 6 10.70 0.48 p. c.

The statistics of the Jail will always afford a striking difference between the strength and the deaths. The numbers in the column show the gross number of persons in Jail in the year. They include those who are remanded as well as those who are committed for trial and convicted. A remand entails a very often short imprisonment of only twelve or twenty-four hours.

During the last year, the committals and convictions were 1084; taking this number as the basis of the annual population of the prison, the result will be as follows.

  • Strength: 1084
  • Proportion of sickness to strength: 12.36 p.c.
  • Deaths: 0.55 p.c.

There can be no doubt that the prisoners in Victoria Jail are remarkably exempt from disease. For hospital gangrene was a troublesome disease many years ago.
