NOTES.
SoAiE of the returns were accompanied with remarks by the
town clerks. From these, the following notes have been com-
piled, with a view to show the condition of registration through
the State, the practical operation of existing laws on the subject,
and the views of the town clerks in regard to amendments.
SUFFOLK COUNTY.
Chelsea. — Deathi, Forty -ieven of the namber retarned occurred at the Ma-
rine Hospital.
No Retueic of births, maniages and deaths from Bodan ; and of deaths fiom
M)rth ChtUea.
ESSEX COUNTY.
Amesburt. — Births. " Thli retam includes a larger number of births, I be-
lieve, than has ever before been recorded in any one year, in this town, and is
nearly correct"
Georgetown. — "It will be perceived that the number of Jnrihi are mach
smaller, and the number of deaths larger, than the previous year, bet they
are nevertheless believed to be substantially correct You will also notice that
a few deaths are included, which should have been returned the last year, but
which was rendered impracticable, owing to the neglect of the person whose du-
ty it was to make returns to the clerk." Number of births in return, 39,— one
birth (Feb. 15, 1847) stricken out, which makes the number 38, as in the printed
Uble.
HAMiLTOif. — Births. Number in return, 24, — twins were counted as but one^ —
the whole number, therefore, as in printed table, 25.
Haverhill.— "I think the return is correct, with the exception of deaths, the
whole number the past year, I think, is nearly four times the number returned,
the number returned is from one section of the town only. I have the promise
of a correct return the present year."
Lawrence. — Births, " Among the number of births above returned, you will
perceive some dates back of May 1st, 1847, owing to the fact, that the town was
incorporated at so late a day, that we could furnish no returns, and also not io
the power of either Andover or Methuen, to return them. I presume these com-
prise nearly, or quite, all the births that were obtainable, but not all that have

taken place in the town, as nearly one thousand Irish have lefl the place since
Jan. 1, 1848, and they are the most prolific in any community. The school com-
mittee have shown a commendable zeal in making their return to me, and, I have
no doubt, have done all in their power to conform to the law, in this respect."
Two births, previous to May 1st, 1847, stricken out" — Maniagea. " This return,
I believe, comprises nearly, or quite, all of the marriages that have been solemn-
ized, during the year. I have endeavored to impress upon the minds of the differ-
ent clergymen, the necessity of making these returns, and they have cheerfully
responded to the call. There have been but a small proportion of the persons
published here, that have been married here. I have published 93, since the or-
ganization of the town." — Deaths, •* This return I believe to be almost perfect, as
to containing a complete list, or nearly so, of all the deaths that have occurred in
this town the past year. The sexton has faithfully performed his duty. And I
trust it may ever continue to be so with all the officers of this town, whose duty
it may be to make returns of any kind. We are young, but growing, as you will
perceive, by the return of births."
Ltwn. — Births. Whole number of births in return, 264, — ^ anterior and 2
posterior to time specified for returns, stricken out, — which leaves 259 as in printed
Uble.
Marblsread. — Births. Whole number in return, 185,-40 anterior to time
specified for return, — stricken out, — which leaves 145, as in printed table.
Newburt. — "I regret that the returns are not more correct, but, owing to se-
vere sickness,! have not been able to attend to the collecting or making up the
returns, but have been dependent on others. T think the number of deaths must
have been at least one hundred, but the sextons have not attended to their du-
ties."
Salem. — Births. " So far as ascertained."
West Newburt. — Births. "As returned by the school committee."
No Returw of births from •^rufower,— of births, marriages or deaths, from Bev-
eriy and ffenhanu
MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
Acton. — " I have not received any returns for births nor deaths."
AsHLAifn. — Births. " The report is as presented by the superintending school
committee. In the column headed * Rtsidtnct of PartniSy may be found some
items, perhaps not in accordance with the statute, but in accordance with
the judgment of the committee; some ambiguity attaches to the subject ; for in-
stance ; a child is born in A ; during the year, the parents remove to B ,
a hundred miles distant The fact of this birth does not come to the knowledge
of the committee in A . The committee in B , in the discharge of their
duty, learn the facts in the case ; — where shall the^birth be recorded ? and
what is to be understood by the heading — Residence of Parents ? An answer
to these queries, will confer a favor upon some doubting minds, and very much
oblige." The heading to their return is " The number of births in the town of
