Note.—The figures in this line are derived from Mr. Grainger's Report to the General Board of Health, on the epidemic Cholera of 1848 and 1849. The returns for the epidemic of 1832-33 are neither accurate nor consistent. It would seem that the total number of Cholera-deaths during the two years was 6729, of which 5272 occurred in 1832, and 1454 in 1833.
