bill of mortality
bill of mortality n. (also weekly bill) Obsolete a periodically published official return of the deaths (later, also of the births) in a certain district; such a return began to be published weekly by the London Company of Parish Clerks in 1592 for 109 parishes in and around London; hence this district (the precise limits of which were often modified) became known as ‘within the bills of mortality’.
