Vestry of St. George, Hanover Square.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In submitting to you the Annual Report regarding the
sanitary state of the Parish of St. George, Hanover Square;
for the year ending March 27th, 1869, I have to call your
attention, as usual, to the mortality, the sickness, and the
means adopted for the removal of nuisances from dwellings.
Besides these, two points of public interest are noticed,
having reference to the operation of the Workshop Regulation
Act, and the suggested improvements of the Serpentine.
Births, Mortality, Death-rate, and Sickness.
The number of births in the Parish was 2,310, against
2,335, in 1868.
The number of deaths registered in the Parish between
the 28th of March, 1868, and the 27th of March, 1869,
amounted to 1,948, including those of 332 non-parishioners
in St. George's Hospital, 106 in the Workhouse, Mount
Street; and 37 in Little Chelsea Workhouse. The total
number of deaths shows an increase of 119 in excess of that
in 1868 and 1869, which was 1829. The greatest number
of deaths happened in the first quarter of the present year,
according to the following table:—
