DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered during the year was 1833
(males 932 and females 901). Of these 497 occurred in public institutions
outside the Borough, 208 occurred in the Metropolitan
Asylums Board's South Eastern Hospital, of which 188 were
non-parishioners, and 4 were of other persons who were also nonparishioners,
so that the actual number of deaths, excluding nonparishioners
was 1,641, and upon that number the statistics are based.
The death-rate for the borough was equal to an annual rate of
14-0 per 1,000 of the population, as compared with 16.0 for 1906, 14.3
for 1905 and 16.0 for the year 1904 per 1,000 persons living, with an
average of 15.8 for the past 10 years.
The number of deaths that occurred in the borough itself, of
parishioners only, was 1,148, giving a death-rate of 9.8 per 1,000, of
the population. The death-rate in England and Wales was 15.0, in
the 75 great towns 15.4, in the 142 smaller towns 14.5, and in
the County of London as a whole 14.6.

(These death-rates are calculated on the census population of 1901.)
Death of residents occurring in outlying public institutions are
allocated to their respective wards according to the addresses of the
deceased as received from the Registrar-General's Department.
Table No. 11 gives a list of the institutions in which the deaths
occurred.
