each of the Eight Ecclesiastical Divisions of the Parish are shown
in Table II, from which it will be seen, that in the Waterloo
Road 1st part district, there were 560 births, and 308 deaths
during the year; in the Waterloo Road 2nd part district, 944
births, and 417 deaths; in the Lambeth Church 1st part district,
762 births, and 417 deaths; in the Lambeth Church 2nd part
district, 1589 births, and 1106 deaths, 370 of which occurred in
the Workhouse; in the Kennington 1st part district, 1379
births, and 816 deaths; in the Kennington 2nd part district,
936 births, and 177 deaths; in the Brixton district, 1086 births,
and 559 deaths; and in the Norwood district, 446 births, and
214 deaths, 8 of which occurred in the Children's Workhouse.
The comparitive Mortality of Lambeth, the entire Metropolis,
and the South District, of which Lambeth forms a large part is
shown in Table III, which also gives the increased Population
of each of the Divisions of the Parish, upon which the death-rate
of each is calculated. This Table has been calculated on the
rate of increase which took place between the censuses of the
Years 1851 and 1861, and which for the sake of uniformity, and
in the absence of a present knowledge of the actual population,
I have continued to employ, although at a distance of nine years
from the last census it can only be considered as
matively correct.
In some Districts of the Parish the population has certainly
increased much more rapidly, this remark especially applies to
the Kennington 2nd part and Brixton Districts, which are
therefore really still more healthy than appears from this Table.
The Mortality of Lambeth continues to compare favourably
with that of the whole Metropolis, and also of the Southern
District of which it forms a part. The Mortality of the whole of
London being at the rate of 244 per ten thousand, of the
estimated inhabitants, that of the Southern District 242 per
ten thousand inhabitants, and of Lambeth 239 per ten thousand
