by deducting the Deaths occurring in St. Thomas's Hospital of
entire strangers to the district, it will be seen that there has been
a considerable increase in this district, as well as in all the others.
The largest increase has been in Kennington 1st, amounting to
715; Brixton stands next at 584, and Waterloo Road 2nd ranks
third at 581.
The Deaths during the Four Quarters of the year were as
follows:—
First Quarter 1142
Second Quarter 1151
Third Quarter 1408
Fourth Quarter 1282
The Deaths were 308 in excess of the previous year, but were
754 less than the year 1872-3. Deducting the Deaths which
have occurred in the different Public Institutions of strangers
brought from all parts of the country, amounting to 335, the
Deaths will be but 4650. 235 of these were at St. Thomas's, and
86 at Stockwell Hospitals.
The Births and Deaths during each quarter of the year in each
of the eight divisions of the Parish are shown in Table II., from
which it will be seen that in Waterloo 1st District there were 554
Births and 333 Deaths during the year; in Waterloo Road 2nd,
981 Births and 400 Deaths; in Lambeth Church 1st, 760 Births
and 762 Deaths (but of the latter 342 occurred in St. Thomas's
Hospital, of which 235 were strangers to the district; this
materially reduces the Death Rate of Lambeth 1st, which at first
sight appears 2 in excess of the Births); in Lambeth Church 2nd,
1662 Births and 1154 Deaths, 352 of the latter took place in the
Workhouse; in Kennington 1st Part, 1524 Births and 809
Deaths; in Kennington 2nd, 1090 Births and 600 Deaths; in
Brixton, 1315 Births and 737 Deaths, 128 of the latter occurred
in the Stockwell Hospital, 86 of which were strangers to the
district (this reduces the Death Rate proper of Brixton to its
usual normal proportion of 17 per 1000;; and in Norwood, 435
