deaths 46, and St. Mary's the Workhouse deaths 35. The
deaths from Small Pox in the Hospitals out of the Parish are not
yet known; they would probably increase the mortality in the
Parish to about 20 per 1000 of population; 75 deaths are from
Zymotic disease; 72 from the consumptive class; G8 inflammatory
chest diseases ; 17 violent deaths.
The prevailing epidemic was Small Pox, from which 22 deaths
