the
parishes which. I have mentioned and as they make the calculations I
speak of very evident, take as follows.

The weekly bill, which makes out this decrease of the burials in the
west and north side of the city, stands thus--

From the 12th of September to the 19th--
- St Giles, Cripplegate 456
- St Giles-in-the-Fields 140
- Clarkenwell 77
- St Sepulcher 214
- St Leonard, Shoreditch 183

- Whitechappel 532
- In the ninety-seven parishes within the walls 1493
- In the eight parishes on Southwark side 1636
- -----
- Total 6060

From the 19th of September to the 26th--

- St Giles-in-the-Fields 119
- Clarkenwell 76
- St Sepulchers 193
- St Leonard, Shoreditch 146
- Stepney parish 616
- Aldgate 496
- Whitechappel 346
- In the ninety-seven parishes within the walls 1268
- In the eight parishes on Southwark side 1390
- -----
- Total 4927

From the 26th of September to the 3rd of October--
- St Giles, Cri
