For Parliamentary, Municipal, Police, and School Board purposes the
boundaries of the City are co-terminous.
These figures represent the population on the night of the 1st April, 1891
and 1901.
A Day Census—the number of persons actively engaged in the City during
the daytime—has been taken on three occasions, viz., in 1866, 1881, and
1891. It is a matter for regret that no Day enumeration was made in the
City dUring the last Imperial Census year.
