census, there are 80,230 males and 92,670 females in the estimated
population.
Births.
2,732 births were registered in the City in the 52 weeks ending
December 28th, 1907. On examination, 48 births were found to be
referable to other districts. Through the courtesy of the Committees of
Management of Endell Street, York Road, and the Queen Charlotte
Lying-in Institutions, of the Master of the Strand Workhouse at

and of other Medical Officers, I have ascertained that 243 children were
born in these institutions, the home address of whose mothers was in
Westminster. The net number of births was, therefore, 2,927, as compared
