Table I. shews that three hundred and nineteen Battersea
parishioners died in outlying public institutions, in addition
to the two hundred and thirty nine dying in the Union Infirmary,
(vide Table VIII) eleven in the Bolingbroke Hospital, and one at
the Masonic Girls School, making a total number of five hundred
and seventy deaths in public institutions. During the year 1895
five hundred and fifty six deaths similarly occurred.
Tables II. and III., give in tabular form the weekly
returns of the District Registrars of Births and Deaths for East
and West Battersea respectively, and include the deaths of all
persons within the parish and in public institutions, whether
parishioners or not. They shew the incidence of births and
deaths at the various periods of the year, being grouped in
quarters for that purpose, with additional particulars as to
causes of death to be found in Table IV.
It is shown by these tables that the births and deaths exhibited
an unusual uniformity during the several quarters of the year,
the result doubtless of the mild winter and spring, during which
seasons the mortality is frequently considerably in excess of that
of the others.
