The city gaol was closed on Nov. 20th, and the inmates removed to the new hospital at Mount Eden. The amount of sickness both in town and country has been remarkably small. Bowel complaints were the most frequent cases, and no fatal case of any kind has occurred. There is a case of ovarian tumour remaining. This woman suffers much and can seldom do any work. (She has since been pardoned and discharged.) Although the health of the prisoners in both gaols cannot be better, it ought not to be overlooked that they are in danger of their lives every night, for the buildings being of wood, in the event of a fire breaking out many of them would be roasted alive, before the gates and cells could be unlocked and the inmates rescued.
