The registration of St.- James's sub-district is now incorporated
with the sub-district of the Leather Market,
these united districts to form one sub-district, to be known
as the sub-district of Bermondsey, by order of the Registrar
General to take effect on the 1st day of September, instant.
The Registrar is Mr. Chas. Hy. Hurst, whose office is at
21, Grange Road.
I have inspected the houses in Stephenson's Court, and
certify that their structural and insanitary conditions render
them unfit for human habitation.
On the 20th of August I accompanied the Sanitary Inspector
to examine several casks which, were said to contain
pigs' livers, and which were lying at the rear of the
houses Nos. 23, 24 and 25, Salisbury Street; also 44 others
at No. 53, Fort Road. The whole of them were in such
a state of decomposition as to render them quite unfit
for human food.
26th September, 1898.
During the week that ended on the 17th day of September
62 births and 25 deaths were registered in the
parish, indicating an annual birth rate of 37.6, and an
annual rate of mortality of 15.2 per thousand of the estimated
population. The number of deaths of children
under one year of age was 13, of persons aged 60 years
and upwards 3, and of parishioners in outlying public institutions
