During the year 1898, the net mortality of the district of
St. James's has been 408 deaths. Taking the population
as enumerated in the census of 1896, we have 20,053
persons, with 408 deaths—a death-rate of 2035 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 Outlying Institutions
and 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 : —
315 + 125 — 32 = 408 net mortality.
These mortality data are shown in greater detail in the
