"Of these 15 cases 12 died, and 3 recovered,
"7 were treated in Middlesex Hospital, and the
"rest at their own homes. Of the 7 sent to the
"hospital, 3 recovered, and 4 died. It will be seen from
"this list that several persons who contracted the
"Cholera in our Parish died out of it. If this list
"comprised all the cases of Cholera that occurred
"in the Parish it would indicate an unusual mor"tality
amongst those who had the disease, but it
"is very probable that a large number of cases
"occurred that got well without having been re"ported
to me at all. We may be sure, however,
"that all fatal cases have been reported. The
"returns of 1866, thus contrast favourably with
