If the same rule obtains in the other unions, which could only be ascertained by a very long and expensive inquiry, then nearly 27,000 cases of premature widowhood, and more than 100,000 cases of orphanage may be ascribed to removable causes. The chief effects or the chief of the diseases which appear as consequents to the circumstances under which the labouring population of the several districts have been described as living, and under which the fathers of the orphan children above enumerated have died, are set forth in the following table:— Table of the Chief Causes of Death producing Widowhood and Orphanage in the under-mentioned Unions and Parishes. ┌──────────────┬──────────┬───────────┬───────┬───────┬─────────┐ │ │ │ │Bethnal│ │ Oakham │ │DISEASES, &c. │Manchester│Whitechapel│ Green │Strand │ and │ │ │ Union. │ Union. │Parish.│Union. │Uppingham│ │ │ │ │ │ │ Unions. │ ├──────────────┼──────────┼───────────┼───────┼───────┼─────────┤ │ │ No of │ No of │ No of │ No of │ No of │ │ │ Deaths. │ Deaths. │Deaths.│Deaths.│ Deaths. │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ├──────────────┼──────────┼───────────┼───────┼───────┼─────────┤ │Respiratory │ 500│ 212│ 147│ 95│ 69│ │ Organs │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │Epidemic, │ │ │ │ │ │ │ Endemic and │ 146│ 65│ 73│ 28│ 34│ │ Contagious │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │Digestive │ 60│ 16│ 10│ 10│ 14│ │ Organs │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │Nervous │ 74│ 41│ 38│ 17│ 25│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │Violent Deaths│ 94│ 44│ 20│ 16│ 23│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │Old Age │ 84│ 104│ 46│ 13│ 47│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
