DEATHS.
There were 405 deaths registered within the District during
the year, and there were 157 residents died outside the District,
making a total of 562, from which must be deducted 18 deaths
of non-residents.
The correct number is therefore 544, which is equal to an annual
rate of 10.81 per 1,000 of the population, as compared with 13.8,
the death-rate for England and Wales for the same period.
