Mortality

The word "mortality" may, under certain circumstances, include every description of death, every termination of life to which mortals are subject. It applies generally, however, to that description of death which is not occasioned by violent means. 5 B. & Aid. 110, 112; 3 B. & C. 793. MORTALITY (or MORTUARY) TABLES. Tables showing the duration of human life, as based on observations and records of vital statistics. The records of deaths kept at certain places for long periods form the basis of the tables more commonly known

This word, in its ordinary sense, never means violent death, but death arising from natural causes. 5 Barn, & Ald. 110; 3 Barn. & C. 793.
