90,000 in 1863, and 91,500 in 1864. But in this Sub-District, it is
the Out-Ward, or South Belgravia, which has increased by the
process of new building. This year the increase seems arrested.
This will be evident from the following Table:—

It is important to bear in mind that, the population in Belgravia
increased at a much faster rate than did the accommodation, as
measured by the increase of premises rated to tiie relief of the
poor. This will be evident by comparing the ratio of increase of
ratings, with increase of population. But before treating of this
further, let us go on with our statistical items:—
