TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF
The Vestry of St. James's, Westiminster.
Revered Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit for the year 1878
the following Report upon the Public Health of the Parish
of St. James's, Westminster.
The District of St. James's Parish covers an area of
164 statute acres, and the mean density of the population,
taking as a basis the enumeration of 1871, is 205 persons
per acre. For the year 1878 the net mortality of the
Parish amounts to a death rate of 19 per 1000—the
population being taken at 33,500.
The mortality from zymotics in the year 1878 has
been 89, and there have been in addition four other deaths
among Zymotic cases removed from the Parish to extraParochial
Hospitals.
