CORRECTED BIRTHS AND BIRTH-RATES.
Of the 791 registered births in St. Giles and Bloomsbury, a large proportion
of which took place at the British Lying-in Hospital, Endell Street, as many as
416 were of infants whose mothers were non-residents in the Borough. In addition
I received information of the births in outlying Institutions of 61 infants whose
mothers were residents of the Borough, 20 of St. Giles and Bloomsbury and
41 of the Holborn Division, and of 4 births that were notified but not registered,
1 of St. Giles and Bloomsbury and 3 of the Holborn Division.
