CLAPHAM.
The following form of table I again make use of, as in
previous reports, for the purpose of bringing prominently
under the notice of the reader, certain statistics having a
rather important bearing upon the few comments I shall
venture to make upon the health and sanitary condition of
this Sub-district during the year 1869. This table, I need
scarcely say, shows the number of births, deaths and
marriages, as well as the excess of births over deaths in
1869, and in the 10 previous years.

Table: MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, AND DEATHS.
