PUTNEY AND ROEHAMPTON.
The present is the Tenth Annual Beport for this Subdistrict
that has been submitted since the Metropolis
Local Management Act came into operation. It will, as
heretofore, embrace an examination of the mortuary and
other statistics, and present a brief summary of facts
having: reference to local sanitation and its results during
the year 1865.
But few comments need be made upon the following
table, showing as it does, in as concise a form as it is
possible to render it, the causes of death, as well as the
sex, age, and social positions of the inhabitants who have
succumbed either to disease or accident during the twelve
months to which the Beport relates.
It may be as well to explain, with reference to the total
deaths in this, and the Mortality Table in eachlocal summary,
as well as in that in the Appendix, that such totals may
differ, to a slight extent, from those given by the Begistrar
General. For instance, it is intimated by the BegistrarGeneral,
in a note appended to one of the tables in his last
annual summary, that in some years his returns have been
made to embrace 364 days, and in others 371 days, and
that for this reason the figures must differ from those in
such districts whose mortuary statistics are derived from
returns for complete years, from the 1st January, to 31st
December.
