TO THE
Destry of St. George, Hanober Square.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
As usual, we commence by analyzing the deathstatistics.
The Table tells us that during the thirteen
weeks, ended July 2nd, 1864, 466 deaths occurred, including
those of 63 non-parishioners in St. George'shospital,
and of 10 inmates at Little Chelsea Workhouse.
But during the corresponding period of last year the
number of deaths amounted to 550, or 84 in excess of the
present quarter. The weekly average, 35.8, though less
than for the corresponding quarter of last year, is greater
than that for the corresponding period of the ten foregoing
years, which was 32.5.
Zymotic disease destroyed 81 persons, whereas in the
corresponding weeks of 1863, 134 deaths happened from
the same cause.
Amongst the deaths were 3 from measles, which occurred
in Green's-cottages, Pimlico, Bloomfield-place, and Pulfordstreet.
There were 12 deaths from scarlet fever; one in
Union-street, Bond-street, another in Shepherd's-market,
and a third at St. George's-hospital, from Clarges-street.
Eight died in the following streets in the Out-wards, namely,
2 in Moreton-terrace, Gillingham-street, Stromboli-cottages,
Moreton-place, Wilton-terrace, Cambridge-terrace, and Hindon-street.
A non-parishioner died at St. George's-hospital.
