patient was removed, the deaths have been re-distributed,
together with those that occurred in the Workhouse and
Infirmary among the sub-districts of the Parish, in proportion
to the deaths. My reason for doing so is that if it were
left undone the deaths in the Camberwell sub-district, in which
these institutions are situated, would be unduly increased,
since the persons who died in the Workhouses, etc., came from
all parts of the Parish, and not from Camberwell alone.
The steps by which this re-distribution is worked out
are shown in Table V.
