On the whole, therefore, the examination of this table
gives us ground for congratulation on the fact, as there
represented, of the generally healthy condition of the
Hamlet during the past year.
The Act of Parliament requiring that my report shall
be made up to a certain date, I give in the same form
as usual, the figures relating to the mortality in the
Hamlet from January 1st to March 28th, of the present
year.
