In making the above calculations I have used the census
population of 1881, as, for the reason I stated in my last
report, I consider that the enumeration of the population
of the Parish made in 1891 is useless for statistical
purposes.
As 1 am now able to give the actual numbers of deaths
of Parishioners taking place, not only in the Parish,
but in Public Institutions in London outside of the
Parish, and in the Extra Metropolitan Asylums, I do not
consider it advisable to prepare Table I. and some of the
other Tables in the same manner as they have been
heretofore prepared, so I, this year, commence the Tables in
a somewhat different form, and the corrected total of deaths
given in Table I. is no longer merely a calculated number,
but is the actual number of deaths of Parishioners as
shown in Table IX.
