Deducting the latter we have to deal with
430 deaths, to which we must add the 189
persons who died at City Institutions in outside
districts, where, of course, they were registered.
The actual mortality therefore upon which our
death rate is calculated is 619.
The details of these deaths will be found in
Appendix A.
Of the deaths registered in the City 10T per
cent. were caused by injuries or violence.
The City of London death rate for 1895 was
18.3 per 1,000 per annum of the population,
that for the whole of the Metropolis during the
same period being 19.4.
The number of deaths from the principal
zymotic diseases was 46, or T36 per 1,000.
The deaths of children under 1 year of age
to 1,000 births comes out 147, against 165 for
the whole of London ; the highest being 265
in St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, and the lowest,
116 in Stoke Newington.
