Tables VI., VII., VIII., and IX., with addendum, contain
particulars of the mortality respectively of East Battersea, West
Battersea, and in the Union Infirmary, giving separately
parishioners and non-parishioners, and in the addendum of the
other public institutions situated within the parish. These tables
have been used from 1856, and are continued for purposes of
comparison with former years as well as being the basis upon
which all the other mortality tables are founded.
