of the year. In this Table you will be able to compare one
quarter with another, and one division of the District with
another, in respect to the varied mortality during the different
seasons of the year.
Table No. 6, comprises the total Births and Deaths for
the past year, condensed in such order as to show you at a
glance the actual numbers to be assigned to each division of
the District; the numbers dying at certain specified ages;
and the number of deaths to be attributed to each particular
cause or disease throughout the several divisions of the
District.
Table No. 7, will illustrate a comparative statement of the
Births, and Deaths, the ages at which death took place, and
the causes of those deaths during the past three years.
Table No. 8, will show you the comparative number of
Deaths in the District caused by Epidemic Diseases, during
the past four years.
Table No. 10, is so arranged as to show the Death-rate
per 1000 during the past year, inclusive and exclusive of the
Hospital and Union Workhouse, taking the population according
to the census of 1851. These figures will, of course,
exhibit a higher Death-rate than actually exists. Since the
year 1851 the population of this District has increased by
many thousands, partly by the increase of Births over Deaths,
but more particularly on account of the influx of population
from the Metropolis and other Districts; of such increase
of population it is impossible to form a correct estimate.
We must therefore await the result of the next census
before we can arrive at a correct estimate of the healthiness
or unhealthiness of this District as compared with all the
Metropolitan and Country Districts.
Table No. 11, will show the comparative Death-rate per
1000 inhabitants during the past four years. This Death-rate
shows an increase of mortality throughout the whole District
with the exception of the division of Greenwich West.
