CENSUS 



OF THE 



CITY OF DACCA. 



By HENRY WALTERS, Esq. 



The accompanying Statements, drawn up much after the plan of Mr. 

 W. B. Bayley's published Register of the population of Burdwan, have 

 been arranged from materials, which my situation of Judge and Magis- 

 trate of the City of Dacca, has enabled me to collect through the instru- 

 mentality of the Police, and aided by the heads of castes and professions, 

 with as great a regard to correctness as is usually attainable in such 

 matters ; — and as such, I submit them in the confidence of their general 

 accuracy. 



Statements Nos. 1 and 2, exhibit a detailed account of the number of 

 houses inhabited by Hindus and Mohammedans, arranged according to 

 their several castes and professions; and distinguishing the number of 

 males and females above and below sixteen years of age ; with the pro- 

 portion of inhabitants to a house.
