114 APPENDIX.
Note to No. II.
In making the calculations on which the rates of the following
Table are founded, I have reckoned the Workhouse Population and
Workhouse Deaths of each Union as forming part of the aggregate
population and aggregate mortality for such Union respectively;
and in proceeding to calculate the District Mortality, I have distributed,
among the several Districts, the population and the
mortality of their Union Workhouses, apportioning these in the
ratio of the District Population, so as to prevent the high Workhouse
Mortality from telling unjustly against the District in which
the building happens to be situated. •
Hospital Deaths have been distributed according to the residences
of the patients; so that the North Division of the West
London Union (in which St. Bartholomew's Hospital is situated)
now retains only its just proportion of deaths.
