14-—From the foregoing statement it will be seen that the Parliamentary
Borough of Wandsworth, although only returning
two Members to the London County Council, has a greater
area and population and a greater number of electors and
inhabited houses than either of the six Boroughs returning
four Members; that Finsbury, which returns six Members,
is considerably smaller than Wandsworth as regards area,
population, and inhabited houses, although it contains about
2,200 more electors; that the figures relating to Islington,
Lambeth, and St. Pancras, each of which Borough returns
eight Members, are not twice as high as those relating to
Wandsworth, which only returns two Members; and that
the population, number of electors, and inhabited houses of
Tower Hamlets, which returns 14 Members, are only about
twice as large as Wandsworth.
15.—That the Parish of Streatham, one of the four parishes included
in the Parliamentary Borough of Wandsworth, has a larger
area than 51 of the Boroughs or Divisions returning 2
Members to the London County Council, a greater population
than 25, a greater number of parochial electors than 27, and
a greater number of inhabited houses than 42 of such
Boroughs or Divisions; and that the Parish of Wandsworth,
also included in the Borough of Wandsworth, has a larger
area than 50, a greater population than 24, a greater number
of parochial electors than 26, and a greater number of inhabited
houses than 35 of such Boroughs or Divisions.

* The difference between these figures and those previously given for the Parliamentary
Borough of Wandsworth arises from the alterations of boundaries under the
provisions of the London Government Act, 1899.
