Gross Death-rate. Estimating
the population of the
whole parish as 91,500, the
gross death-rate was 22

Estimated Population. This, of course, is the necessary basis of
our calculation of the death-rate. At the census of 1851, tho
gross population of the parish was 73,230; in 1861 it was 87,747,
thus showing a gross increase of the population in 10 years, of
15,000. As we stated in our last Annual Report, the Hanover
and Mayfair Sub-Districts maybe regarded as virtually stationary;
for there is no fresh ground to build on, and the population even
fell in the 10 years 51.61, from 33,464 to 32,686. The increase,
therefore, is confined to the Belgrave Sub-District, which we believe
to have increased steadily at the rate of 1,500 per annum up
to the middle of 1864. This brings up the estimated population
