The following table shows the birthrates for tl:e Borough and
its sub-districts during the years 1901 to 1911.

Deaths.—The total number of deaths registered in the
Borough during 1911 was 3,546, but of these 779 were deaths of
non-residents dying in institutions in the Borough. On the other
hand 443 residents of Hackney died in institutions in other
districts. On making the necessary corrections by subtracting 779
from and adding 443 to the above total, we obtain the correct
number of deaths amongst Hackney residents during the year 1911,
namely, 3,210. This is an increase of 388 deaths upon the number
which eccurred during the year 1910. The crude general death
rate from all causes for the year 1911 is 14.4 per 1,000 of the population.
On further correcting this for age and sex distribution by
means of the factor 1.04262, 1 obtain the corrected general deathrate
of 15.0 per 1,000 of the population of Hackney for the year
