The decline in the death-rate during 1902 affected all three
sub-districts, but was most marked in East and South-West
Battersea. It will be noted that the three sub-districts differ
almost as much in their death-rates as they do in their
birth-rates. In each district there has been a distinct decline
in the death-rate during the decennium.
Deaths in Public Institutions.
The deaths of Battersea residents occurring in public
institutions numbered 723. 308 occurred within, and 415
without the Borough. 356 deaths occurred in Workhouses
or Workhouse Infirmaries.
Table VI. gives a list of the institutions in which the
