The public institutions in the Borough are as follows:—
Clapham:—Hostel of God.
PUTNEY:—The Priory, Roehampton.
streatham:—St. Anne's Home. (St Pancras parish).
Lunatic Asylum, (part of).
TOOTING:—Tooting Home.
Fairfield House. (Chelsea parish)

The Fountain and The Grove.
Newlands Asylum.
Wandsworth:—The Workhouse.
Royal Hospital for Incurables.
Northlands Home for Inebriates
Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum.
H.M. Prison.
The total population of these institutions was 6,127, but as a
considerable number of the inmates of the Tooting Home, The
Workhouse, and the Metropolitan Asylums Board's Hospitals
belong to the Borough, a deduction of 5,000 made from the
uncorrected total will give approximately the corrected population
of the Borough, viz.:—240,800, compared with a corrected popu
lation of 228,702 in 1901.
