estimate the population of Mile End Old Town in the middle
of 1893, to be 108,006, and it is on these figures the rates of
Mortality are calculated for the purpose of this Report.
BIRTHS AND BIRTH-RATE.
The number of Births registered during the past twelve
months was 4,186, giving a birth-rate of 387 per 1,000 inhabitants,
that of last year was 38.2.
DEATHS AND DEATH-RATE.
The number of Deaths registered which took place in the
Hamlet during 1893 was 2,174; but as this includes those Deaths
which occurred in such Public Institutions in our district as the
City of London Union, the Jewish Home Stepney Green, and
the Portuguese Homes, etc., whose inmates come from other
districts, it does not fairly represent the number of Deaths of
Mile End inhabitants, so by subtracting from the above the
number of these Deaths and adding all those belonging to Mile
End who died in the various Hospitals, Asylums, etc., we get
the correct number of Deaths which belong to the Hamlet and
this number is 2,430, and giving a death-rate of 22.8 per
1,000 for the past twelve months, that of London being 20.8 for
the same period.
