(a) Owing to the alteration in respect to the registration sub-districts referred to on page 1 of the report it has been necessary to select fresh
localities for statistical purposes. The eight wards of the Borough have accordingly been adopted as separate localities for the purposes of
this table. If required the figures relating to the new registration sub-districts may be obtained from this table, as Wards 1, 2 and 3 form
the Shoreditch South Registration sub-district, 4 and 5 that of Shoreditch North-West, and 6, 7 and 8 that of Shoreditch NoTth-East.
(b) Deaths of residents occurring beyond the district are included in sub-columns c of this table, and those of non-residents registered in the
district excluded. (See note on Table I. as to meaning of terms "resident" and "non-resident.")
(it) Deaths of residents occurring in public institutions have been allotted to the respective localities according to addresses of the deceased.
(d) The population of locality No. 4 includes the population in the Holborn Union Workhouse, estimated at 1,375.
