The above shows in a brief measure the working of the year.
The figures for 1880-81 are placed like last year for the purpose of comparison.
The report is in a measure gleaned from the records my predecessor left in the
historical register, as I only took charge on the 29th March 1881.
There were 29 admissions during the year, and the total treated was 76. The
number cured was 14—2 in excess of the previous year.
The subjoined table shows the remained, admitted, discharged, died, &c.
(civil and criminal), during the year :—
