NOTES.
1. Population at Census 1871 —96,813.
2. Area in acres—1,280.
3. Average No. of Persons in each house at Census 1871—8.1.
* For statistical purposes the Registrar.General estimates
the population to the middle of the year on the basis of the rate of
increase ruling between the two preceding Census periods. The
estimate of population may be checked by the known number of
inhabited houses, and by the average number of inmates per house,
as ascertained at the preceding Census.
The deaths of non.parishioners in the public institutions (St.
Mary's Hospital and the Lock Hospital) within the parish are
deducted for the year 1877. For the years 1875 and 1876 the total
deaths in the above.mentioned institutions are deducted.
