Deaths.—The number of deaths registered in the Borough
in 1910 was 626, being 70 deaths less than the number registered
in 1909, and 8 fewer than the average number for the last ten
years, although the population has greatly increased during this
period.
The death-rate calculated on these figures (gross death-rate)
is 6'60 per thousand of the mean population for the year. This
is 0 93 lower than the corresponding rate last year, and is, in
fact, the lowest on record.
This, however, includes only deaths actually registered in the
Borough, and does not include those of Hornsey people dying
elsewhere.
There were 152 Hornsey people who died outside the district
during 1910, viz.:—
42 in the Edmonton Workhouse,
13 in the Great Northern Central Hospital,
64 in other Hospitals outside the Borough,
16 in Lunatic Asylums, and
17 in various other places.
On the other hand there were 41 deaths registered in Hornsey
of persons non-resident in the district.
To get the net deaths belonging to Hornsey we must add to
the number of deaths registered in the Borough the number (152)
of Hornsey people dying outside the Borough, and deduct the
number (41) of deaths registered in Hornsey of persons who
normally resided in other districts.
This gives us the net number of deaths belonging to Hornsey
as 737, a decrease of 50 over the corresponding number for 1909.

It is only for these six years that the comparison can be
made, as for the years before 1905 the figures referring to deaths
of Hornsey people outside the Borough cannot be obtained. The
