NOTES ON TABLE II.:—
COLUMNS 2, 3, -A, 5, 6, 7, and 8.—These amounts are irrecoverable from causes which are unavoidable so far as the Collectors are concerned.

Lists during the year. Such larger amounts are included in the " additions."
COLUMN 4.—These being statutory allowances made by the Vestry are not calculated in the total in Column 11. The two columns, 4 and 11, make up the total in
division III. of Table I.
COLUMN 5.—A very small portion only of this is excused on account of poverty. It includes such cases as where a public-house or other hereditament is rebuilt,
during which a partial occupation of land by a temporary structure is continued, and a part only of the Rate is charged, as ordered in each case by the Committee.
COLUMN 6.—This does not include Government occupations, but represents premises occupied by Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers, and other places exempt by
statute.
COLUMN 8.—Includes losses through death. COLUMNS 9 and 10.—These represent what may be considered the actual "losses."
