The Death, during the four quarters of the year were as
follows
First Quarter 1140
Second Quarter 1139
Third Quarter 1098
Fourth Quarter 1298
The Deaths were 754 less than in the previous year 1871-72,
and 82 more than the year 1870-71; but we are entitled to
deduct from the above the deaths which have occurred in the
different public institutions, of strangers brought from different
parts of the Metropolis and the country, amounting to 304,
104 of these were deaths at Stock well Hospital, and 200 at St.
Thomas,s Hospital. The deaths after these deductions will be
4371.
The Births and Deaths during each quarter of the year in
each of the Eight Division of the Parish are shown in Table II,
from which it will be seen that in Waterloo Road, 1st District,
there were 587 Births and 323 Deaths during the year; in the
Waterloo Road, 2nd District, 931 Births and 385 Deaths; in
lambeth Church, 1st District, 750 Births and 723 Deaths, but of
these 361 occurred in St. Thomas's Hospital, of which 200 were
strangers to district; thus materially reducing our death-rate
proper; in Lambeth Church, 2nd District, 1716 Births and 997
Deaths, 337 of which took place in the Workhouse; in the
Kennington, 1st District, 1498 Births and 771 Deaths; in the

Brixton District, 1241 Births and 779 Deaths, 173 of which
occurred in the Small Pox and Fever Hospital at Stock well,
and of these 104 were strangers brought from different parts of
London: thus reducing the death-rate of Brixton to its usual
rale; and in the Norwood District, 426 Births and 185 Deaths,
12 of which occurred in the Childrens' Workhouse.
The Comparative Mortality of Lambeth; the entire of the
Metropolis; and the South District, is shown in Table III.
