Registrar as having taken place in this sub-district was
1,435—of which 712 were males and 723 females. In
1886, 1,348 were returned ; there is therefore an increase
of 87 on that year. In addition to the above, 100 took
place in public institutions outside the district, making
a total of 1,535 persons who died in and connected with
this division of the parish.
Of the 1,435, 274 occurred in institutions within the
sub-district, viz:—268 in the Infirmary and 6 in the
Bolingbroke Hospital; these are two above those of the
previous year, when 272 were returned.
Of the deaths which took place in the Infirmary, 68
belonged to West Battersea, the remainder to other
divisions of the Union.
Deducting the 274 deaths in public institutions, 1,161
will be the correct number for this out-door district.*
