It is interesting to notice in the foregoing tables how many
of those deaths, mentioned as occurring in various "Localities,"
do not belong to the parish wherein they take place ; for instance,
in the Westminster Hospital, where there were 255 deaths, 139
of them belonged to entirely outside parishes, 91 to St. John's,
and only 25 to St. Margaret's, where the Hospital is situated.
And though there is no institution of corresponding magnitude
in St. John's, yet the same thing may be observed on a smaller
scale—three out of the four deaths at the Grosvenor Hospital came
from other parishes, and 13 out of 15 occurring at the Station
Hospital were from Chelsea, Battersea, the Tower of London, &c.
The Table also shows in a very satisfactory way how few deaths,
comparatively, have occurred from zymotic causes, both inside
and outside the parishes, to the inhabitants of St. Margaret's
and St. John's.
The following Table (B) deals with the Births and cases in the
