◦ The Births in this table have been corrected by distributing those which occurred away from home to the
boroughs in which the mothers had resided. In 1357 cases the residence was outside the County of London,
and these cases have been excluded from this table. With regard to Deaths, all those of persons in or on the
way to, Hospitals and other Public Institutions, as well as those of persons under treatment in surgical homes,
or dying by accident or otherwise in the streets, have been distributed, as far as practicable, to the boroughs
in which the deceased had previously resided. The deaths of 2331 London residents who died outside the
County of London in Metropolitan Workhouses, Hospitals, and Lunatic and Imbecile Asylums, have been
similarly distributed. Of the deaths registered in London the previous residence was outside the county in
3184 cases, and these have been excluded from the table.
