The "Notting Dale" Special Area.—As something
will have to be said later on anent the unsatisfactory statistics,
vital and mortal, of this locality, comprising Bangor-street,
Crescent-street, William-street, St. Katharine's-road, and part
of St. Clement's-road, in the North-west District; it may be
well to state here that these streets are located in the enumeration
districts numbered 31 and 56, and that Inspector Steward
at my request made an enumeration of the population in
December, 1895. As I was unable to obtain from the
Registrar-General an official statement of the population of
these streets in March, 1896, Inspector Steward made for me
a further enquiry in June; the two counts, in December, 1895,
and in June, 1896, taking in the whole of the streets comprised
in the two enumeration districts. The particulars are set out
in the subjoined tables. It is remarkable that the population
of these two districts should, according to the RegistrarGeneral's
return, have increased by so large a number as 603,
or 14.5 per cent., since 1891—viz., from 1,880 to 2,241 in
