NOTES.
1. Population at census, 1871—120,200.
2. Area in acres 755.
3. Average number of persons in each house at census 1871—7.5.
* For statistical purposes the Registrar-General estimates the population to the
middle of the year on the basis of the rate of increase ruling between the two preceding
census periods. The estimate of population may be checked by the known
number of inhabited houses, and by the average number of inmates per house, as
ascertained at the preceding census.
** The deaths of non-parishioners in public institutions within the parish are
deducted, but a proportion of the deaths occurring in General Hospitals, relative to
the population of the parish, is added to the total number of deaths registered during
the year 1877.
f The figures for these years are extracted from the reports of the late Dr. Sams,
by whom no correction for Hospital deaths was made.
\ No returns from local registrars were supplied to the Sanitary department during
these years.
ft No information.
