The same remark that I made in my last Annual Report may be made in this,
that "a comparison of the totals under the head of increase, shows that the population
is steadily increasing, first by natural means, and secondly by a less number of deaths
occurring in the Parish."
Deaths of Parishioners in Outlying Institutions.
The annual list as supplied from the Registrar-General's Office enumerates 92; six,
however, of these are found to be in adjoining parishes, viz.:—four in Deptford, one in
Camberwell, and one in Southwark.
The actual number is 86, which are apportioned
as follows:
