    30 REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. TO THE VESTRY of the PARISH OF ST. MARY ABBOTTS, KENSINGTON. Sanitary Department, Vestry Hall, Kensington. Gentlemen, I beg to lay before you a short abstract of tbe Mortality which has taken place in the Parish during the year 1860, arranged according to the ages and causes of death, and an account of the pro ceedings taken for the removal and abatement of Nuisances, and for the general improvement of the sanitary condition of the parish. The Mortality Tables are made up from the first week in January, 1860, to the first week in January, 1861; but the proceedings for the abatement of nuisances extend from March', 1860, to March, 1861. I am glad to be able, through the kindness of Mr. Cornell, the Super intendent Register, to give you the results of the Census taken in April last : theso Returns are not yet issued from the Registrar-General's Office ; but I am certain they may be relied on for their accuracy.
