Deaths.—During the year 1907 there were 3,321 deaths
registered in the Borough, but of these 493 were "Non.residents,"
that is, persons dying in institutions in the Borough, but brought
from outside districts. On the other hand, 401 "residents "of
Hackney died in institutions outside the Borough. Making the
needed corrections, the correct number of deaths amongst Hackney
residents during the year was 3,229. This total shows an increase
of 98 deaths upon the number which occurred during 1906. The
general death rate of Hackney from all causes for the year
1907 is therefore 13 9 per 1,000 of the population. On making
further correction for age and sex distribution, by means of the
factor 1.04262, we obtain for the Borough for the year 1907 the true
general death.rate of 14.49 per 1,000 of the population. The
mortality rate for 1906 was 14.17 per 1,000 living, so the rate for
1907 shows a small increase upon the rate for the previous year.
Taking the sub.districts, I find the lowest death rate for the year in
the North sub.district (11.8 per 1,000) and the highest in the South.
East sub.district (15.1 per 1,000).

The following shows the death rates of Hackney from all causes
per 1,000, compared with London, during the last decade:—
