Table IX. shows the mean length of life in this Parish
for the last 26 years, and in London for the last 23 years,
and from it we find that the mean length of life in this
parish during the last 26 years has averaged 57 years,
while during the last ten years it has averaged 62J years,
and that the mean length of life in London has averaged
over 39£ years during the last 23 years, and nearly 41 £
years during the last 10 years.
Table X. shows that the total number of Parishioners
dying from the principal infectious diseases and from
diarrhoea, including 12 dying in Public Institutions outside
of the Parish, was only 71, the lowest number yet recorded,
as against an average of 109 during the preceding 10 years,
