to be .53 persons per acre. At the middle of the year 1892 I find
the density had increased to 59.66 persons per acre. For comparative
purposes I give below a table showing the estimated
population, area, and density of the various registration sub-districts
in Hackney.

| 50.06 |
Births.—The total number of births which took place in
Hackney during 1892 was 6,758, of which 3,382 were males and
3,376 were females. This is equal to a birth rate of 28.7 per
1,000 inhabitants, that of London being 30.9 per 1,000.
Below is given a table showing the distribution of the births
in the different sub-districts of Hackney, giving numbers and rates
per 1,000 :—
| No. of Births | Registration District of Hackney. | Registration Sub-District. | All London. | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stoke Newington | Stamford Hill. | West Hackney. | Hackney. | South Hackney. | |||
Marriages.—The number of marriages solemnized in the
District of Hackney during the year 1892 was 1,854, against the
number 1,839 in 1891. The marriage rate for 1892 is, therefore,
15.7 per 1,000, against 17.4 per 1,000 for the total population of
London.
