Diseases of the Respiratory System.-21 deaths occurred from Laryngitis and inflammatory diseases of the lungs; 7 of these
were at Auckland, 4 at Wellington, 4 at Christchurch, 5 at Dunedin, and 1 at Hokitika. During June there were 5 from similar
causes. The deaths from Phthisis were slightly less in number in July than in June.

Violent Deaths. There were 7 deaths the results of accident. A labourer died from the effects of a fractured leg, and
another had his neck broken by a fall. A railway guard was killed by a train. A child was accidentally scalded, and one run
over by a cart. In one case, simply registered as "Accidental," the death was supposed to have been caused by a fall from a cart.
The death from poison was that of a servant, and was caused by an overdose of chlorodyne.

Comparison with July, 1876. The total number of deaths for the 7 boroughs was 117 for July of both years. By another
coincidence 11 deaths occurred from Scarlatina during each of those months. Diseases of the respiratory organs were 8 in
number, against 21 in July, 1877. The deaths from Developmental diseases of children and Debility were 15 in July, 1876,
against 10 in July last, otherwise there is nothing in the comparison worthy of remark.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
