TO THE
Destry of St. George, Hanober Square.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In the quarter that ended on Saturday, 1st of July, 1865,
518 deaths were registered, including those of 87 nonparishioners
at St. George's Hospital, and of 4 inmates at
Little Chelsea Workhouse. In the corresponding period of
last year, 466 deaths took place, or 52 less than in the
present quarter. The weekly average is 39, while that of
the preceding ten years is 34.3.
Zymotic disease destroyed 98 persons. Amongst these
deaths we record one from small-pox, the death of the eldest
son, aged 40, of a peer, in Stratton-street, Piccadilly. One
from chicken-pox of an infant, aged 3 months, in Weststreet,
Pimlico. There were 24 deaths from measles, or double
the number of those that happened during the corresponding
quarter of 1864. They chiefly occurred to children, and
were nearly equally distributed in the two parochial divisions,
as follows—Brown-street, Thomas-street, Robert-street, and
Hart-street Grosvenor-square; Swan-passage Mount-street,
Street's-buildings, Tom's-court, Duke-street, and Hayes-mews,
in the In-Wards; Churton-street, Stanley-place, Hindonstreet,
Hindon-place, Wallis's-yard, Eaton-court, Brewerstreet,
Old Barrack-yard, Percy-cottages, St. George's-place,
Warwick-place, North, Effingham-street, and Wilton-mews,
in the Belgrave Sub-District.
