APPENDIX. XVII
Population.
In its details the population appears to be constantly changing
and varying in many respects week by week. It is therefore difficult
to accurately measure it, but from notes made from time to time, I
believe the figures given in Table II. hereto appended are as
approximately accurate as it is possible to obtain them.

Table: TABLE II.Total Population of Represented Area (Exclusive of Inmates of Poor Law Establishments).
