In arriving at this corrected death-rate, the deaths of nonparishioners
who have died in Public Institutions within the Borough
have, of course, been excluded.
The rate is a very satisfactory one, even for Stoke Newington.
The death-rate for the whole of London was 17.2; the death-rate
for Croydon was 14.0, and that for Brighton was 15.8.
District Mortality.—The deaths among parishioners of the
Northern Division of the Borough numbered 196 and furnished a
recorded death-rate of 10.7 per 1,000 per annum.
The deaths among parishioners of the Southern Division of the
Borough numbered 484 and furnished a rate of 14.5 per 1,000 per
annum.

Infantile Mortality.—There were 129 deaths registered of infants
under 1 year of age, as against 1,125 births; the proportion which
the deaths under 1 year of age bear to the 1,000 births is, therefore,
114.7, as against 117.9 in the preceding year.
The corresponding rate in England and Wales was 133, that in
London generally 139, and that in the 76 great towns 145.
The deaths under 1 year of age form 19.0 per cent, of the total
deaths of all ages, whereas for the preceding year they formed 19.5
per cent.
