extracts • Before you there! are certificates of the over-
crowding of filteen houses, that I have visited during the
week. lu thew houses there are 23 rooms occupied by 36
teen., 12 women, and 49 children, in all 127 individuals, who
are lodgedwithout due regard to health and decency. The
mortality in the City during the week was much below the
average. The total number of deaths was only 48, and of
these 17 among very young children. As usual, the chief
causes of death were aieeSEES of the respiratory organs ; as
I thus, 8 from bronchitis, 7 from consumption, 3 from pen-
mono. 3 from beeping-cough, and 2 from asthma—in all
23. There was but one death from fever, one from scarlet
fever, acid 2 from measles but there were no death. from
swell-pox, diarrhea, or other xymotie diseases." Upon the
I motion of Mr. Abraham, seconded by Mr. Deputy Harrison,
the portion of the report relating to the overcrowding of houses
I was referred to the General Purpose Committee, with a
view to immediate steps being taken to remedy the evil.
