During the fortnight that ended on the 10th day of March,
140 births and 64 deaths were registered in the parish. These
numbers are equivalent to an annual birth rate of 41.3, and
an annual rate of mortality of 18.9 per 1,000 of the estimated
population. The corresponding death rate in London, was
21.3, and the mean rate in the large provincial towns was
23.0

Six deaths were referred to old age.
Four inquests were held. Two cases of suicide occured;
one by hanging and one by drowning.
