extremes of temperature no donbt tended to prodnce this utmstial restdt. It 

 is also remarkable that but one death from accidental violence occurred : that 

 of the Hanoverian sailor who fractured his s])iue by falling into the hold of 

 hre ship. No inquests were held in January,but one was subsequently held on 

 the foregoing case. 



In the 1st week of the month, 7 deaths took place ; in the 2nd, 5 ; in the 

 3rd, oulv 1 ; in the 4th, 9 ; in the last three days, 2. On 16 days of the 

 mouth, there was not a single death. The greatest number on any day was 

 three each on the 4th and 6th. The most fatal period of themonth was 

 the 23rd to 29th inclusive, though only eleven deaths occurred in the seven 

 days, and the previous five days were without a single death.
