FOOTNOTES.

{6a} The “Kensington” Registration District, by which most persons understand the parish of Kensington, really comprises a much larger area, embracing within its limits the whole of Paddington, Hammersmith, and Fulham. The subjoined table shows the proportion which Kensington proper bears to the other parts of the district.

Area in Inhabited Population, statute acres. houses, 1871. 1871. Kensington 2,190 15,735 120,299 Paddington 1,251 11,847 96,813 Hammersmith 2,287 6,719 42,691 Fulham 1,716 3,469 23,350

{6b} The subjoined table shows the area, inhabited houses, and population of the three wards into which the parish is divided for parochial purposes:

Name of Area in Inhabited Population, Rateable Ward. statute houses, 1871. annual acres. 1871. value of property, 1871. Holy 439 3,224 22,128 £246,716 Trinity, Brompton. St. John, 905 7,730 62,475 £365,012 Notting Hill, and St. James, Norland. St. Mary 846 4,781 35,696 £323,992 Abbott’s. 2,190 15,735 120,299 £935,720

{7} The births that took place in the Workhouse are all included in the Town registration, but the number (120) is too small to affect the calculation.

{11} P.S.—(_August_.)—It may be mentioned that no new facts came out subsequently either to strengthen or to weaken the suspicion above stated of milk being the carrier of the scarlatinal poison—beyond this, that there were several cases of the disease in another parish in which the dairy is situated, and in families supplied from the dairy. It may be added that the Kensington cases, which were remarkable for the suddenness with which the attack followed on the application of the supposed cause, all did well. They ran the usual course, and were followed by very free desquamation. There were no derivative cases. A similar outbreak was reported subsequently also within a few days after a dinner party at West Brompton. In this case, however, so far as I can gather—for I received little direct information on the subject—though the idea of a common cause of disease, as in the previous outbreak, was suggested, absolutely nothing could be traced to support the suspicion of milk-poisoning, for the dairy—several miles from Town—was found to be in an unimpeachable condition, and no sickness was discovered in the employés or their families, or at the London depôt. A very small quantity of cream appeared to have been consumed, the actual supply on the day in question being one shilling’s worth. For the present the bare facts of these cases can be simply stored for future use; and with the inferences which have been sought to be drawn from them must be taken _quantum valeant_.

{49a} On two occasions (January 22 & 24) the Gas was less than 20 Candles.

{49b} On two occasions (October 20 & December 31) the Gas was less than 16 Candles.

{57a} The population is estimated to the middle of the year. Between 1863 and 1871 inclusive, a yearly addition has been made to the population based on the total increase between the Censuses of 1861 and 1871. The same principle has been adopted with regard to the number of inhabited houses, in the absence of specific information on the subject, such as has been forthcoming since 1871. Some of the figures in this and subsequent Tables differ from those in former reports, as the result of a revision of the estimated population, based upon the best attainable information. The population at the Census 1861 was 70,108.

{57b} The returns of marriages for the years 1865–70, inclusive, do not include those that took place at the Superintendent Registrars Office, concerning which I have no information.

{60} The Totals for England and Wales are for 10 years 1862–1871, compared with the year 1872, the latest year of publication at the present time.

{62} The Act has not been put into operation.
