The total number of deaths registered in the Parish
amounted to 4,639. From this number must be deducted the
deaths which occurred in St. Saviour's Infirmary, which
amounted to 643. But, on the other hand, there must be
added 373 deaths of parishioners that occurred in institutions
outside the Parish, so that the correct total from which the
death-rate is to be calculated is 4,369.
The deaths spoken of as those of persons belonging to
the Parish, but dying in institutions outside, have been re-distributed
among those parts of the Parish from which they were
removed, and in those instances where it was impossible to
ascertain from which registration sub-district they had been
so removed, the deaths have been re-distributed, together with
those that occurred in the Workhouses and Infirmary, among
the four sub-districts of the Parish in proportion to the recorded
deaths. I have, in a previous report, pointed out the necessity
for this re-distribution of the Infirmary, &c., deaths, and to
point the moral more strongly, I give in Table V., the death-rate
