Adding 209 deaths of residents of this Borough, which
took place in general hospitals and other public
institutions in other Boroughs of London, in London

Asylums, and deducting 240 deaths of non-residents
which occurred, 195 at the West London Hospital,
26 at Nazareth House, 18 at the Hammersmith
Infirmary, and 1 at St. John's Hospital, Uxbridge Road,
the corrected number of deaths of residents registered

population, the corrected number of deaths of
residents registered last year was equal to an annual
rate of 12.1 deaths per 1,000 persons living. The death

under one year of age, residents in London last year,
was equal to 191 per 1,000 of the total deaths registered,
