Note.—The above table is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in the
Borough, and the births and deaths properly belonging to it with the corresponding
rates. The rates are calculated per 1,000 of the estimated gross population.
For columns 5 and 13 the population of the Holborn Union Workhouse has been
deducted in calculating the rates.
In column 6 are included the whole of the deaths registered during the year
as having actually occurred within the Borough. In column 12 is entered the
number in column 6 corrected by subtraction of the number in column 8 and by
the addition of the number in column 9. Deaths in column 10 have been similarly
corrected by subtraction of the deaths under 1 included in the number given in
column 8 and by addition of the deaths under 1 included in the number given in
column 9.
"Transferable Deaths" are deaths of persons who, having a fixed or usual residence in England or Wales, die in a district other than that in which they resided.
