In each year a number or deaths or parishioners takes place in
General and Special Hospitals, in the Workhouses, in the Infirmary,
and in Lunatic Asylums, all of which are extra-parochial.
The number of deaths which occurred in the Hospitals was 197;
in the "Workhouses, 119; in the Infirmary, 125; and in Lunatic
Asylums, 27; 7 deaths also occurred in the streets, or by drowning.
I explained in my last Report, how, in all probability, the
population found at the Census of 1891 was below the proper
estimate, as so many houses had been pulled down just before the
Census was taken; and during the last year other houses have
been built, and a further increase of population has taken place.
Taking, however, the population as found at the last Census, the
intra-parochial mortality amounts to 17 per 1000; including the
hospital deaths, 20; and including the workhouse and infirmary
deaths, 24 per 1,000.
It may be stated here, that at the last Census, the number of
inhabitants in Clerkenwell was 65,885. Of these 32,624 were
males, and 33,261 females.
In the Registration Districts the particulars were as follows:—
males.
females.
