The illegitimate births numbered 22; 14 males and 8 females.
During the year the births notified locally under the Notification
of Births Act have been compared with the births registered
locally by the Registrar of Births, and the respective figures are 607
and 653.
These figures are fairly satisfactory. Some local Medical
Practitioners and Midwives have been reminded of their failure
to notify.
MORTALITY.
General Mortality.—There were 325 deaths of residents registered
in the Borough, and 269 of residents who died in Public
Institutions outside of the Borough, making a total of 594 deaths.
Of these 313 were of females, and 281 were of males.

THE CAUSES OF DEATH.—These are fully set forth
in Table I., in which it will be noted that the deaths are also
apportioned to different age-periods.
