Canbury Group.
Hogg's Mill
Group.
Norbiton Group.
Town Group.
These four groups show the chief incidence of
the mortality. The Canbury group follows the
course of the old Latchmere brook. The Town
group seems to point to the influence of overcrowding
of space with buildings. The Hogg's
Mill group may be accounted for by the general
dampness of that neighbourhood, which will continue
as long as the mills remain. This seems to me to
be the most unsatisfactory portion of my report, but
its remedy lies in a great measure in the hands of
those who are responsible for the moral and religious
teaching of the people, for I fear the greater number
of these deaths are due to carelessness combined
with ignorance.
