Inquests.—The inquests held in the District were 13, and these were 4-72 per cent, of total deaths. The verdicts returned were :—Accident, 9 ; alcoholic poisoning, 1; suicide, 2 ; and ex¬ cessive drinking, 1. Tables.—The usual Tables are appended, but Table II sent by the Local Government Board is not filled up as there are no sub-divisions of the District of known population. In conclusion, as my duties will cease with the presentation of this Report to your Council, I have to express my thanks to the Members of the Local Board of Health by whom I was appointed, and to the Urban District Council for the kindness and courtesy I have always received from them. I must not omit to thank your Clerk, the Surveyor, and Inspector of Nuisances for the assistance they have always given to me. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, JOHN HOUSLEY, M.D., D.P.H. Rockley, Retford, 25th January, 1904.
