*In this number Three are included in Out-door Medical Officers Returns.
The number of cases of the several Epidemics in Workhouse are not given ; cases often arise amongst the resident population

Taking the Three Divisions of which the returns are complete, we find 2698 cases of Sickness of all kinds, of which 789,
