The daily number of prisoners complaining sick is most variable from time to time, malingering fully accounting for these variations.
In spite of the prevalence of dengue fever in the Colony in November, no case occurred amongst the prisoners.
There were fifteen prisoners discharged on medical grounds during the year.
Permission was obtained from His Excellency the Governor to transfer a pregnant female prisoner to the Government Civil Hospital, as she had suddenly become comatose, she was found to be suffering from malignant malaria and died shortly after, having given birth to a still-born child.
I append the usual Tables.
