in the Town, and 2.739 in the Green.* It shows, too, that
the mortality of the Zymotic, Tubercular and Respiratory
classes of disease ranged, to every 10,000 living, from 124 in
the Hackney Road to 130 in the Church, to 173 in the
Green, and to 185 in the Town; and that the deaths under
5 years of age were to each myriad 109 in the Hackney Road,
109 in the Green, 115 in the Church, and 164 in the Town.
That you may measure the force of these figures, it is proper
to state, that in 1851 out of every 10,000 inhabitants, the
Green had 1385 children under 5 years of age, the Church
1481, the Hackney Road 1483, and the Town 1553. At all
ages life was longest, or 29.51 years in the Green; shorter, or
20.06 in the Church; shorter still, or 18.93 in the Hackney
Road; and shortest, or 18.23 in the Town; whilst Adult
life was highest, or 55.10 years in the Town; next in amount,
or 55.07 in the Green; lower, or 53.14 in the Church; and
lowest, or 52.36 years in the Hackney Road Sub-Division.

Government;" 7.6 "in the Defence of the Country;" 4.0
"in the Learned Professions;" 2.9 "in the Fine Arts and
Science;" 1.6 "in clothing and performing personal offices
for man;" 4.3 per cent. were individuals "who buy or sell,
keep, let, or lend money, houses, &c.;" 2.6 were "engaged
in the conveyance of men, animals, goods and messages;"
2.6 again included those "possessing or working the Land;"
8.0 per cent. were "engaged about Animals;" 2.3 "in Art
and Mechanic Productions;" 1.7 in "working and dealing
in Animal Substances;" 2.6 in "working and dealing in
Vegetable Substances;" 4.8 in "working and dealing in

the Green contains within it 3 "elements of high mortality," i. e., the Workhouse,
Lunatic Asylum, and Consumption Hospital; and that the Town has the least
individual space.
