231 in 1902 to 372 in 1909, and the number of separate occupiers in
them from 8,926 to 11,591.
Taking the districts comprising the City separately, it will be seen
that St. George's has fluctuated a good deal in the seven years; that
St. Margaret and St. John has shown a steady decrease until 1908 when
a marked increase of 1,143 occurred, due to the erection of new
dwellings by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, Police Barracks, &c.
St. James', which had been decreasing each year up to 1908, again
shows an increase, due chiefly to premises being sub-divided into flats,
which probablv does not mean a corresponding increase in population.
St. Anne, St. Martin, and the Strand show a slight decrease as compared with 1908.
