If to the deaths registered as occuring in the sub-district,
one hundred and seventy-nine other deaths in outlying
institutions, of persons said to belong to the sub-district,
be added, the total of 1,250 deaths will give an apparent
death-rate of 18.75 per thousand. But this method makes
no allowance for the numerous persons who die in the
sub-district belonging to other places and who attend the
Metropolitan Hospitals as out-patients, more especially the
Brompton Hospital for Consumption, the Cancer Hospital
and the Victoria Hospital for Children; being sent up
from various places, and temporarily residing in the subdistrict
as a convenient and inexpensive locality.
Outlying Reference to Table III. will shew that one
institutions, hundred and seventy-nine persons died in
Hospital, Workhouse Infirmary, Asylum Board Hospital
or Lunatic Asylum, who were registered as being inhabitants
of East Battersea. In many cases the only title they
possessed to be included amongst our parishioners being
that they were members of families residing here, they
themselves being employed elsewhere as domestic servants
or employes.
