As an example of the mode in which the causes of premature deaths fall,
and of the burdens they entail in many districts, I submit a return of
the whole of the cases of widowhood on the pauper rolls of the parish of
Alston and Garrigill, Cumberland, the parish in which are situate the
lodging-houses described in the evidence collected by _Dr. Mitchell_.
ALSTON WITH GARRIGILL PARISH.
