These estimated populations do not include either the Industrial Schools or the Children’s Hospital, both situated within the district but mainly comprising children from without the district. Similarly, deaths in these institutions of children admitted from other districts are omitted from the Table. Deaths of persons admitted from Swinton and Pendlebury to the Monsall Fever Hospital, to the Salford Workhouse, and to the Barton-on-Irwell Workhouse, are included in the Table. TABLE B.
