of 5 years; 290 between 5 and 20 years; 484 between 20

1 he healthiness of the Parish may be ascertained by
examining Table IV, which gives the death-rate of the entire
1 arish, and of cach of its sub-divisions, obtained from a comparison
of the number of deaths with the estimated population,
contrasted with the whole of the Metropolis and the
South District, from which it will be seen that the general
death-rate (although higher than in previous years) continues
to bear a favourable comparison with the entire Metropolis,
as well as with the South District, of which Lambeth forms a
part. In six out of the eight divisions of the Parish, the
death rate was higher than in 1863; in two, lower, viz., the
Waterloo lioad, 1st part, and the Brixton District.
The four most healthy Districts were the Norwood ; Brixton;
Waterloo road, 1st part; and the Kennington, 2nd part,
districts. The four least healthy, the, Lambeth Church, 1st
and 2nd parts; the Waterloo Koad, 2nd part; and the Kenninjfton,
1st part, districts. 1 He average number of inmates
of the Adult Workhouse was 889, and the deaths, 334; excluding
the Workhouse, the death-rate of the Lambeth
Church, 2nd pari, district would become 243*9 instead of
346.6 per 10,000. The average number of inmates of the
Children's Workhouse was 371, and the deaths, 17; excluding
the Children's Workhouse; the death-rate of the Norwood
district would be 169 7, instead of 181.7 per 10,000 of the
population. >
Table V. shows the deaths from Epidemic diseases, which
amounted to 939, being in the proportion of rather over
22 per cent, of the deaths from all causes. In the previous
