CORRECTED BIRTHS AND BIRTH-RATES.
The Registrar-General gave permission at the latter part of the year 1904
for details of births to be supplied by the Sub-Registrars. These details were at
once supplied to us, so that I am now able to exclude the births of infants whose
mothers were "non-residents."
Of the 1,014 registered births in St. Giles and Bloomsbury, a large proportion
of which took place at the British Lying-in Hospital, Endell Street, as many as
568 were of infants whose mothers were non-residents in the Borough.
