The so-called "factor for correction" for the Borough of Stoke
Newington is about 1.07283, and the death-rate corrected for age and sex
distribution is (12.3 x 1.07283) 13.2 per 1,000 per annum.
In arriving at this corrected death-rate, the deaths of non-residents,
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 15.2.
District Mortality.—The deaths among residents of the Northern
Division of the Borough numbered 180 and furnished a recorded
death-rate of 9.8 per 1,000 per annum.
The deaths among the residents of the Southern Division of the
Borough numbered 467, and furnished a recorded rate of 13.6 per
1,000 per annum.

Infantile Mortality.—There were 132 deaths registered of infants
under one year of age, as against 1,097 births; the proportion which
the deaths under 1 year of age bear to the 1,000 births is, therefore,
120.3, as against 114.7 in the preceding year.
The corresponding rate in England and Wales was 132, that in
London generally 130, and that in the 76 great towns 144.
