53
Sub-district of Putney and Roehampton.
Deaths in Out-lying
Institutions.
It might have been inferred that the
remarkably low death-rate within the district
was possibly due to the fact that a greater number of
deaths occurred in hospitals outside the district. This,
however, is not the case. Only 25 deaths occurred in
these out-lying institutions as compared with 43 during
the previous year and with 45 in 1892. These 25 deaths
are tabulated in table II. 10 occurred in the Union
Infirmary, and 12 in general and special hospitals and 3
in those of the Asylums Board.

If these 25 be added to those registered within
the district it gives a total of 215 and a death-rate of
11.2 per 1,000.
