was 988,257, being 1 in 20, or 4 9 per cent, on the actual popula-

above statement, owing to 385 paupers having been in receipt of 
both in-door and out-door relief. Comparing the numbers returned 
on 1st July, 1870, with those at the same date in 1869, there was 
an increase of 8440, or 0-9 per cent., in 1870. The in-door paupers 
on 1st July, 1870, were 144,470, the out-door 841,670. Of the
