394 deaths, and the Lunatic Asylums, in which 89 deaths
occurred; and Peckham contains two off-shoots of the
Workhouse, in which 91 deaths occurred. Now these
deaths, though happening within these districts, no more
properly belong to them than they do to the other districts
of the Parish, and if included in the mortality of these
districts would unduly and unfairly swell their death-rates
I have, therefore, as I have always hitherto done, distributed
them throughout the sub-districts in proportion to the
deaths (apart from these) due to each. The steps of this
calculation are shewn in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th columns of
the Table, and the final result in the last column. It may
be added that even so there is a little unfairness to the
Parish, inasmuch as many of the deaths in the Lunatic
Asylums are of persons who do not properly belong to the
Parish. I have, of course, excluded from consideration the
deaths occurring in the St. Saviour's Infirmary, which
amounted to 650.
