* Deaths in Outlying Institutions not included.
To ascertain, however, the true mortality of the sub-district, the
deaths of parishioners in out-lying institutions must also be
included.
The following Table shows the deaths which occurred in these
out-lying institutions.
The total number of deaths was 161, seven more than occurred in
1892. Of these 101 took place in the Union Infirmary, 27 in
general and special Hospitals, and 33 in the Hospitals of the
Metropolitan Asylums Board.
