    The census population of the wards was : All Saints’, 7,326 ; St. James’s, 8,055 ; and Hadfield, 7,033. Adding 1 per cent, to the population each year for seven years, we get: All Saints’, 7,850; St. James’s, 8,632; and Hadfield, 7,537. From the last we must deduct 500 for removals in consequence of stoppage of machinery at Waterside Mills, making the number 7,037. The deaths at the three institutions I calculate by the total population of the Borough, 23,519, though the deaths at the Workhouse include persons from the rural district. Taking the above-mentioned population and the deaths, we get the death-rate as follows : All Saints’ Ward Population, 7,850 Deaths, 116 = 14*7 per 1,000 St. James’s Hadfield The Borough. To this has to be added: Union Workhouse.. Wood’s Hospital Gamesley Hospital 8,632. 7,037. 23,519. Total Death Rate. 163 = 18*8 127 = 18-0 406 = 17*2 .Deaths, 20 . „ 6 • „ 4 30 = 1-2 per 1,000 .. - 18-4 I am, Gentlemen, Yours sincerel)', DUNCAN JOHN MACKENZIE, M.D. Loch Maree House, Glossop, January 16th, 1899.
