year would be 67,265. This I think is too low, as it

Mortality. The total number of deaths returned by the
Registrar as having taken place in this sub-district was
1,348—of which 682 were males and 666 females. In
1885, 1,395 were returned; there is therefore a decrease
of 47 on that year. In addition to the above, 63 took
place in public institutions outside the district, making
a total of 1,411 persons who died in and connected with
this division of the parish.
Of the 1,348, 272 occurred in institutions within the
sub-district, viz:—261 in the Infirmary and 11 in the
Bolingbroke Hospital; these are 3 above those of the
previous year, when 269 were returned.
Of the deaths which took place in the Infirmary, 64
belonged to West Battersea, the remainder to other
divisions of the Union.
Deducting the 272 deaths in public institutions, 1,076
will be the correct number for this out-door district.*
The number of deaths registered in each quarter of
