In-door patients.

       During the year 4,628 in-door patients were treated (exclusive of those
admitted to the Eye Infirmary), being 740 in excess of the previous year.

Mortality.

       Of these, 535 cases were fatal. This gives a mortality rate of 115.8 per
thousand, against 126.28 in 1871, 138.78 in 1870, and 179.40 in 1869.

       But of the total treated, only 4,390 cases were treated to a termination.
This gives a rate of mortality of cases treated to a termination of 121.8 per
thousand, against 134.1 of the preceding year.

Moribunds.

       Of these 535 deaths, 114 occurred in less than 24 hours after admission
into hospital. If these moribund cases were excluded from the return, it would
show a death-rate of only 90.9 per thousand of cases treated, and of 95.9
