The following is the proportion of deaths to 10,000 houses, during the first seven weeks of the epidemic, in the population supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company, in that supplied by the Lambeth Company, and in the rest of London.
TABLE IX.
| Number of houses. | Deaths from Cholera. | Deaths in each 10,000 houses. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southwark and Vauxhall Company | 40,046 | 1,263 | 315 |
| Lambeth Company | 26,107 | 98 | 37 |
| Rest of London | 256,423 | 1,422 | 59 |
The mortality in the houses supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company was therefore between eight and nine times as great as in the houses supplied by the Lambeth Company; and it will be remarked that the customers of the Lambeth Company continued to enjoy an immunity from cholera greater than the rest of London which is not mixed up as they are with the houses supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company.
As regards the period of the epidemic subsequent to the 26th August to which my inquiry extended, I have stated that the Registrar-General requested the District Registrars to make a return of the water supply of the house of attack in all cases of death from cholera. Owing to difficulties such as I explained that I had met with in the beginning of my inquiry, the Registrars could not make the return in all cases, and as they could not be expected to seek out the landlord or his agent, or to apply chemical tests to the water as I had done, the water supply remained unascertained in a number of cases, but the numbers may undoubtedly be considered to show the correct proportions as far as they extend, and they agree entirely with the results of my inquiry respecting the earlier part of the epidemic given above.
