As this class usually consists of persons who have been many
years away from Camberwell, their being allotted in a somewhat
mechanical way will have practically no effect in vitiating results.
The death-rate, therefore, for Camberwell, as in the County of
London, is slightly higher than the phenomenally low one for 1908,
and its position on the list of Metropolitan Boroughs is tenth, being
between Paddington with a rate of 13·78, and Battersea with one
of 13·97.
