The following special cases arise as to Transferable Deaths:—
(1) Persons dying in Institutions for the sick or infirm, such as hospitals,
lunatic asylums workhouses, and nursing homes 'but not almshouses) must be
regarded as residents of the district in which they had a fixed or usual residence
at the time of admission. If the person dying in an Institution had no fixed
residence at the time of admission, the death is not transferable. If the patient
has been directly transferred from one such institution to another, the death is
transferable to the district of residence at the time of admission to the first
Institution.

Institution to which the mother was admitted for her confinement should be
referred to the district ot fixed or usual residence of the parent.

fixed abode, to the district where the accident occurred, if known , (c) failing
this, to the district where death occuried, if known; and (d) failing this, to the
