Gentlemen,
I have the honour to lay before you my Annual

which terminated on the 25th March, 1894.
The estimated population to the middle of the year is

During 1893, 229 new houses came into occupation, chiefly
situated in the Kilburn Ward.
Marriages. —The number of marriages celebrated was
476, showing a decrease of 33 on the previous year.
Births.—The births registered during 1893 were 1,495, or
39 more than in the previous year. The birth-rate was
equal to 20.5, or rather above that for the preceding year,
which was 20.4. The birth-rate for London was 31. The
natural excess of births over deaths was 547.
