1835.] Suicides and Murders in Russia in 1821-22. 177 



Comparing this table with the former results, we find 

 Kalouga and Kostroma holding the same situation. There 

 are fewer homicides in 1822 in Moscow than in 1820, and 

 the same observation holds good with regard to Orel, Toula, 

 and Vladimir, &c. 



With regard to the relation of the homicides and suicides 

 to the order in which the governments follow, for these 

 crimes in 1822, it appears that the capital and government 

 of Moscow has the greatest number of these two kinds, and 

 Kostroma the least. Suicides are more frequent than homi- 

 cides in Yaroslav and Vladimir, and the latter more nume- 

 rous in Orel, Toula, Riazan and Kalouga. This is perhaps 

 explained by the greater or less concentration of the 

 population. 



The proportion of the homicides to the population is as 

 follows : 



Moscow, Capital ... 1 to 27,125) q9 Qfif > 

 Government . . 35,279 S ' 



Toula 34,921 



Orel 42,180

Koursk 48,655 



Yaroslav 50,281 



Vladimir 57,222 



Voronega 127,903 



Kostroma 128,583 



Here, it is remarkable that Voronega and Kostroma, the 

 most extensive governments, exhibited the most favourable 

 state. 



With regard to the proportion of the sexes who have 

 committed crimes, the returns of registers show that in 



1821, 428 men and 92 women committed suicide.
