It will facilitate a better understanding of the mortality by a reference
to former years. Taking the Census of 18G1, the deaths were, in
1862 64 in 10,000 persons.
1863 253 „
1864 236 „
1865 236 „
1866 232 „
(To Lady-day) 1867 331 „
In the statement for the past year, so little satisfactory, the estimate
corrected for the increase of population has not been taken into account,
which will make a little difference. But the zymotic increase of mortality
in comparison with former seasons will nevertheless make the year 1866-7
very remarkable in sanitary annals.
