Table 15. This, the second table prescribed by the Local
Government Board, contains particulars of the population,
births, notifications of infectious disease in the several localities
and various public institutions (themselves treated as separate
localities), situated within the parish, and the cases of infectious
disease removed from their homes in these several localities for
treatment in the Metropolitan Asylums Board isolation hospitals.
The cases of erysipelas, are mostly removed to the Infirmary
of the Wandsworth and Clapham Union, situated in
St. John's Hill, within the parish, as also cases of puerperal
fever, other hospitals not providing accommodation for these
two diseases.
It will be observed that the several localities and institutions
have populations assigned to them. The out-door districts
of East and West Battersea have populations based upon the
ascertained increase of population during the last inter-censal
period, while the institutions have the census populations
given.
