Tne increase in the deaths r(;gistered in the last week
of March over those registered in the t egirmiog of the
rn nth, when the nornber in a week was shout 1,100, in
not caused by an inc:•eased rate of mortality, but arises
from more than a due pr:portion if coroners' cases
being entered in the re 0-ter-books at the end of the
quarter, In the present ta‘de 5 deaths are ref rred to
intemperance, 8 to poison, 27 to burns and Scalds, 6 to
hanging, 10 to suffoca,.inti, 26 to drowning, 35 t' frac-
tures, 7 to wounds and other injury, and 40 are placed
