registered in Stoke Newington was 807 against 706 last year;
in Stamford Hill, 503 against 523; in West Hackney, 1169 against
1190; in Hackney, 2830 against 2803; and in South Hackney,
1406 against 1390; making a total of 6715 births in 1887 against
6661 in 1886.

I have not attempted to calculate the percentages of deaths
in the different sub-divisions, as there are difficulties, owing to
the number of institutions in the Hackney sub-registration
district, which includes the Hackney and City of London
Workhouses and Infirmaries, the Small-pox and Fever Hospitals,
and the German Hospital. I have restored as far as possible
the deaths in the various hospitals and establishments within
and outside the district to the various sub-districts; and distributed
the deaths in these institutions over the various subdistricts,
but there is a residuum consisting of inhabitants of
Hackney who died without their proper addresses being known,
and also of deaths from drowning and accidents of persons
unknown, which I have been unable to distribute. I have
thought it best therefore to give the whole numbers as altered.
These show that the number of deaths as well as of births have
increased in Stoke Newington and Hackney sub-districts as well
