St. James's Square Division 10
Golden Square Division 44
Berwick Street Division 54
Workhouse 11
119
Thus, whilst 1 in every 1073 of the population
die of Zymotic Diseases in Saint James's Division,
1 in every 317 die in the Golden Square District,
and 1 in every 200 die in Berwick Street. And
again, as I have said before, the cases taken into
the Workhouse are more largely imported from
Berwick Street than either St. James's or Golden
Square Districts. Whatever may be the cause of
the overcrowding in the Berwick Street there can
be no doubt of its disastrous effects on the life and
health of the district.
The class of persons who suffer from these
diseases can easily be determined by the tables.
Of the 119 cases of Zymotic Disease only 13
occurred in persons above five years of age, and of
those only three were above twenty years of age.
I ought, however, to state here that a certain
number of adults are removed from the Parish of
St. James's, Westminster, to the London Fever
Hospital in Islington. When they die there the
death is registered in the Parish of Islington,
