and 92,000 vehicles entered and left the City
on the day the counting was made.
The Imperial census returns for 1891 shew
a population of 38,320, being a decrease of
13,085 from the previous decennial 1881;
37,663 for 1871, and 73,743 for 1861, thus:—
City population in 1861 112,063
(Imperial census)
„ „ 1871 75,983
„ „ 1881 51,405
„ „ 1891 38,320
(estimated) „ 1901 28,357
The calculated Night population for the City
at the end of June, 1895, was 33,823, and
assuming that the population has gone on
diminishing since 1891 at exactly the same rate
it did between that date and the census in 1881,
the population for 1901 may be estimated at
28,357, as shewn above.
During 1895, 1,057 deaths were registered,
including *627 persons dying in the City but
not belonging thereto.
*[In St. Bartholomew's Hospital alone 624 deaths occurred of
