During the year 1899, the net mortality of the district of
St. James's has been 387 deaths. Taking the population
as enumerated in the census of 1896, we have 23,050
persons, with 387 deaths—a death-rate of 1679 for each
1,000 persons sleeping in St James's.
The figures for the net mortality of St. James's are
obtained by taking the deaths registered in St. James's,
adding to this number the deaths in other places of
persons removed from St. James's, and then subtracting
the deaths registered in St. James's of persons who were
noted as non-parishioners by the Registrar. This procedure
is as follows :—
328 + 111 — 52 = 387 net mortality.
These mortality data are shown in greater detail for the
year, 1899, in the following figures:—
