The death-rate for Lambeth is, therefore, 15.9 per 1000 inhabitants
(17'5 for males and 14'6 for females), as compared with
15'7 for London (17.1 for males and 14.4 for females). These
rates are, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing the 5028
deaths registered in the Borough of Lambeth, it is found that 811
represent deaths occurring within the Borough amongst
persons not belonging thereto. These deaths are to be deducted,
but, on the other hand, there are 492 deaths registered outside the
Borough of persons belonging thereto, and these must be added,
giving a corrected number of deaths for Lambeth during 1906, of
4709, and a corrected death-rate of 14.9 per 1000 inhabitants, as
compared with 15.1 for London (the total corrected number of
London deaths being 71155).
