 RETURNS OF THE JAILS. 
 
 QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN WRITING. 
 
 The following are the Answers to the Questions marked with 
 a *, in the Aggregate. 
 
 BOSTON. 
 
 The following- is a copy of the letter which accompanied the return : — 
 
 To the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts : 
 
 Boston Jail, Nov. 12th, 1849. 
 
 Sir, — In answer to the question “ How many were Insane when committed,” 
 I would state that there is no place or accommodations in this Jail suitable to 
 restrain an insane person, and those who have been committed were merely 
 for safe keeping, for a day or night, in order that they may be taken before a 
 court having authority to send them to an institution for the insane, and these 
 were generally in such a state of mind that nothing could be learned concern- 
 ing them relative to the inquiries made in this return, and these being immedi- 
 ately removed to institutions for the insane I deem it unnecessary to give any 
 further explanation concerning them. 
 
 In regard to the health of prisoners, I would further state that notwithstand- 
 ing the crowded state of this Jail our prisoners have enjoyed a good degree 
 of health, with very few exceptions, and not a case of Cholera has occurred 
 within the walls of this prison. During the prevalence of that disease in the 
 city the Jails were white-washed more frequently than is required by law, and 
 all fruits and vegetables were excluded. 
 
 Increase of Prisoners. — From the first of the present month to the above 
 date, the average number per day has been 156, and the number in Jail this 
 12th day of November, is 169, being the largest number ever known in any 
 Jail in Massachusetts on any one day.

 GUSTAVUS ANDREWS, 
 
 Keeper of the Jail in Boston.

 Note. — It will be perceived that the same difficulty exists this, as well as in former years ; 
 that, in the aggregate of “ Criminal Offences and the Number of Prisoners under each head,” 
 the united number, as shown in the Tables, from the Jails and Houses of Correction does 
 not balance the “ whole number ” returned, and that the totals are affected accordingly. 
 The figures are abstracted as they are given in the “ Returns the debtors being included, 
 in some instances, in the " whole number,” and in others, omitted. It was evidently the in- 
 tention of the Legislature, that the debtors should be included in the “ whole number,” and 
 again recapitulated in answer to the question of how many of the whole number were of 
 that class.
