In 1849, there were forty-eight deaths from cholera in Millbank prison, amounting to 4·3 per cent. of the average number of prisoners. In Tothill Fields prison there were thirteen deaths among eight hundred prisoners, or 1·6 per cent. The other prisons on the north side of the Thames are supplied either by the New River Company, or from pump-wells, and there was but one death from cholera in all of them; that death took place in Newgate.
