N.B.—The Divisions are those of the Registrar General, which do not quite correspond with any other divisions. The numbers of houses and of the population
are derived from the last Census in 1851.
This Table includes three deaths in the London Fever Hospital, and four in the Middlesex Hospital. Four of the deaths in the Royal Free Hospital, and eight
in the University College were of inhabitants of other parishes.
