Use of outlying
Institutionsby each Sub-district.
The number of deaths in outlying institu- .
each tions enables one to iorm an approximate
Sub-district, 0f the relative use of such institutions
by each sub-district; and an interresting side-light on
their relative social condition is thus obtained.

institutions including the Union Infirmary :—
For East Battersea .. 2-55 per 1,000
,, West Battersea .. 1'88 „
,, Clapham .. 181 ,,
,, Putney .. 1*90 ,,
,, Streatham .. 1-59 ,,
,, Wandsworth .. 2'41 ,,
Stated as per centages of the total number of deaths,
in East Battersea, 13 6 per cent of the total deaths
occurred in outlying institutions; in West Battersea,
10'5 percent; in Clapham, 12*G per cent; in Putney,
13*8 per cent; in Streatham, 9'2 per cent ; and in
