have been 14.7 marriages, 21.2 births, and 24.8

The numbers forming this aggregate have been
very irregularly distributed. In the East London
Union the marriages have been at the rate of 11.1
per 1,000 of the population, in the West London
Union 17.4 per 1,000, and in the City of London
Union 12.7 per 1,000. The births have been at
the rate of 24 per 1,000 in the first-named union,
22.7 per 1,000 in the second, and only 16.2 in the
third; but the death-rate has been largest in the
Western Division of the City, where it has amounted
to 26.8 per 1,000, and smallest in the Central Division
(18.2). The proportion in the several districts,
as compared with the averages of the last ten years,
are as follows:—
