Workhouse 215. 7 other deaths also were registered in
Grigg's and Pemmell's Alms Houses. The sum total is not
the equivalent of our population proportion of the public
institutions of London, which would amount to 90 besides.
Many of the inhabitants die, of course, in Hospitals and Institutions
situated elsewhere.
The Workhouse mortality forms Table 7. You will there
see that 33 fell by Epidemics,—that the Tubercular class,
comprising Marasmus and Consumption killed 58; that the
great bulk died at 60—80, the second at 40—60, and the
third at 20—40 years—and that from 10 to 20 the deaths
were only 6. It also shows that one, a weaver, reached the
patriarchal age of 101. Classified by trades and occupations,
the several inmates, Children and Adults, consisted of 64
Servants, 53 Weavers, 24 Labourers, 8 Unknown, 6 Shoemakers,
6 Seamstresses, 4 Winders, 4 Charwomen, 4 Bootbinders,
3 Dyers, 3 Laundresses, 2 Coal Porters, 2 House

Cornchandler, 1 Baker, 1 Cigar Stripper, 1 Twine Spinner,
1 Carman, 1 Nurse, 1 Tailoress, 1 Straw Bonnet-maker, 1

The total amount of Pauperism was, at Christmas,
1660, or less by 825 than in 1857. Exclusive of the Lunatics
at the different Asylums, the number of the inmates was, in
the Workhouse 896; and of those out of doors 764. "Thus,"
says the Times, "in Bethnal Green the pauperism is less in
proportion to other parishes as compared with population."
In reference to the mortality at certain ages, 1276 died
below 5 years; 144 from 5 to 10; 68 from 10 to 20; 425
over 60; 82 above 80; 8 over 90; and 1 beyond the
