Ten deaths from violence happened in Christchurch and nine in
St. Saviour. Of inquests, 23 were held in Christchurch and 14 in
St. Saviour. Twenty-five bodies were conveyed to the Mortuary
during the year.
In the following statement I would direct your attention to the
ages of those who died during the past year.
