The areas marked thus (to) include water.
The several water companies are designated by letters ; thus, the New River Company by N., the Grand Junction by J., Chelsea by C., West Middlesex by W M,, East London by E.,
Hampstead by H., Southwark by S , Lambeth by L., and Kent by K. In cases where a district is supplied by more than one company, the initial of the company supplying the greater
part is placed first. Where a company supplies only a small part of the district it is indicated by a small initial letter.
That part of Hackney District served by the East London Company is, it is believed, supplied from Lea Bridge after filtration; the East Districts are supplied principally from the
reservoirs at Old Ford.
*In deducing the mortality from all causes in the several districts, the population and the deaths in the following Hospitals wore subtracted from the population and deaths of t.he
respective districts in which the Hospitals wore situated, viz., St. Mary's, Paddington, inmates 191, deaths 191; Consumption, inmates, 218, deaths, 127; West London inmates, 23,
deaths 13 ; St. George's, inmates 376, deaths 343; Westminster, inmates 171, deaths, 17.4; Charing Cross, inmates 102, deaths 71; Middlesex, inmates, 320, deaths 292 ; University College,
inmates 151, deaths 211; Royal Free, inmates 129, deaths 129; Small-pox, inmates 35, deaths 260; London Fever, inmates 44, deaths 668; King's College, inmates 161, deaths 231; St,
Bartholomew's, inmates 788, deaths 565; London, inmates 405, deaths 733; Guy's inmates, 675, deaths 511; St. Thomas's, inmates 539, deaths 197; and the Dreadnought, inmates 202.
deaths 108. The numbers of inmates returned are those enumerated at the census of 1861, but the accuracy of the results are not materially affected by adopting those numbers. The
Hospital population and deaths were then distributed proportionally over all the districts of the metropolis. The workhouse of the district of St. Luke's is in Shoreditch, the workhouse of
the Strand is in St. Pancras, the workhouses of the City of London District are in Mile End Old Town and Poplar Districts, and so on for other outlying workhouses. In calculating the
mortality of the respective districts from all causes, the deaths and population of these outlying workhouses were taken from those districts in which they happen to be situated, and
placed to the districts to which the inmates belong.
†The following corrections have been made in calculating the Cholera mortality of certain districts wherein Hospitals are situate; the deaths in the London and Cholera Hospitals at
Whitechapel of persons belonging to other districts have been distributed proportionately over each of the East London Districts; the Cholera mortality of the districts of St. George,
Hanover Square, Marylebonc, St. Saviour and St. Olave, Southwark, Sirand, Islington, West London, and St. Pancras, has been calculated on the deaths from Cholera exclusive of the
deaths in the Hospitals of persons brought from other districts.
‡The Commissioners of Sewers are the Board for the City of London, and number about 80; the members of the Corporation, including the Aldermen, 232.
