Deaths.
Exclusive of those deaths which occurred in Public
Institutions situated within, the district, but belonging to
other districts, the deaths registered during the year numbered
674. In this number are included those deaths
which were transferred by the Registrar-General of persons
who had died outside, but who belonged to this district. The
number of these deaths was 171. These deaths chiefly
occurred at the Workhouse, Workhouse Infirmary, and
General Hospital at Croydon; the County Asylums at
Brookwood and Netherne; the Cottage Hospital at Carshalton;
and the Council's Isolation Hospital at Beddington Corner.
The mortality corresponds to a death rate of 10.2 per
thousand of population, as against 9.4 last year, 8.3 in 1912,
as against an average of 9.8 during the ten years 1904-1913.
