Workhouse, and the Metropolitan Asylums Board's Hospitals
belong to this Borough, a deduction of 5,800 made from the uncorrected
total population gives, approximately, the corrected population,
viz.:—329,700, compared with 320,120 in 1907, 310,310 in
1906, and 285,910 in 1905.

with 7,036 in 1907, 7,057 in 1906, and 6,892 in 1905.
The total number of births registered in this Borough was
7,321, but 80 births occurred in Institutions outside the Borough
of persons belonging to the Borough, and 70 births in Institutions
