This works out at 7.2 persons per house in 1900, and 8.3 persons
per house in 1902, and instead of a net decrease there is a total
increase of 55 persons. In Bishop's Court, which has suffered
most, having had 36 additional people to accommodate, the persons
per house have risen from 12 to 16. So instructive is the lifehistory
of Bishop's Court since 1900 that it may be recorded in
detail:—
