In 1866 they were 46*2 per cent. ; and the Deaths are 10*9 per cent., against 9 per cent, last year. The crowded state of the wards, alluded to in last year’s Report, has been very much relieved by the new Temporary Dormitories since completed, and by the very cheerful Convalescent Room since built adjoining the Laundry. The Corridor now in progress, to connect the main building with the proposed new wing, and which is intended to be used as a Dav Room for Females, will still further relieve the pressure which still exists in some of the Male Wards, by adding to the male side rooms now occupied by females.
