DEA.THS AND DEATH-RATE FOR 1902.
The total number of deaths registered in the Borough was 1,896.
Of this total 716 were deaths, within the Borough, of non-parishioners
—chiefly occurring in hospitals and in the St. George's Infirmary; and
175 deaths of parishioners of Chelsea occurred outside the Borough in

for the year of 18.0 per 1,000, as against a death-rate of 16.6
per 1,000 in 1901.
