since last year, and also that tho rato colloctors roturn 46 fewer
houses than thoy did in 1884, I have reluctantly arrivod at the
conclusion that although the births registered during the yoar
have exceedod tho deaths by 2308, yet that an equivalent number
of adults must have omigrated from tho district, leaving our
numbers as nearly as possible tho same as last year; I have therefore
based my statistics upon the assumption that our population
is stationary, or very nearly so.
Tho area of the distriot is 755 acres, of which about seventeen
are covered with water. Tho number of inhabitod houses is
17,787; this corresponds to a population of 7.25 persons to each
louse and 171 to each acre. These figures are almost idontical with
those of the previous two years.
Tho following Table, which has been prepared from the rate
books, shews the distribution of the houses, workshops, and factories
in the several wards of the Parish:—
