Note to Table No. I.
In making the calculations on which the Rates of the following
Table are founded, I have reckoned the Workhoitse-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 Sub-District
mortality, I have distributed, among the several Sub-districts,
the population and mortality of their Union Workhouses, apportioning
these in the ratio of the respective Sub-District Population,
so as to prevent the high Workhouse Mortality from
telling unjustly against that Sub-District in which the Workhouse
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.
