Wandsworth:—The Workhouse.
Royal Hospital for Incurables.

The total population of these Institutions was about 6,300,
but as a proportion of the inmates of the Tooting Home, the
Workhouse, and the Metropolitan Asylums Board's Hospitals
belong to this Borough, a deduction of 5,800 made from the
uncorrected total population gives, approximately, the corrected
population, viz.:—339,100, compared with 329,700 in 1908,
320,120 in 1907, and 310,310 in 1906.

During the 52 weeks ending the 1st January, 1910, 6,985

with 7,331 in 1908, 7,036 in 1907, 7,057 in 1906, and 6,892
in 1905.
The total number of births registered in this Borough was
6,924, but 139 births occurred in Institutions outside the Borough
of persons belonging to the Borough, and 78 births in Institutions
in the Borough of persons not belonging to the Borough, making

Of the 139 births which were registered outside the Borough,

and the remainder in various Institutions in other parts of
London.
