Parish of Clapham. 51
Old Age.
The deaths were 28, in which no specific
cause was given besides the old age. These
were six above the average.
Violence.
Deaths due to various forms of violence were
19, or one above the average.
The deaths from all the diseases of a Non-Zymotic
nature, taken as a whole, were much above the average,
and if they were not balanced by the very small number
of deaths in the Zymotic Class, would have produced a
high general death-rate.
Inquests.
The number held during the year was 31, less
than half the number in the previous year.
The accidents and suicides were almost the same in
number; natural causes, half the number; and wilful
murder an increase.
