were 6 belonging to St. George, Bloomsbury, 14 to St. Giles South,
and 6 to St. Giles North. The 12 Births divided between the St.
George and St. Giles North Sub-Districts must be deducted from
the registered number of the St. Giles South Sub-District.
9. Further correction must be made for the Births occurring in
the Workhouse, viz., 106. Of this number, 7 belonged to the
Sub-District of St. George, Bloomsbury; 24 to St. Giles North, and
45 to St. Giles South. There were 17 Births in which the
previous residences of the mothers could not be ascertained. There
were also 13 women confined in the Workhouse who belonged to the
Strand District. These, for convenience sake, are enumerated with
the 17 Workhouse Births=30.
10. As the Workhouse is in the Sub-District of St. Giles South,
all the Births occurring therein are registered against that
Sub-District; thus further augmenting the apparent number of its
Births. The Births belonging to St. George and to St. Giles North
Sub-Districts must be, therefore, added to the record for those
Sub-Districts, and subtracted from St. Giles South. These various
corrections having been made, the following table expresses the
results:—

The Death-rate in St. Giles District.
11. The Death-rate must be ascertained by the same method as
that by which the Birth-rate was determined. The registered
morality for the year was 1,166—of which number there were 301
Deaths recorded against St. George, Bloomsbury, 551 against St.
Giles South, and 314 against St. Giles North. To the aggregate
number of 1,166 must be added the Deaths of persons belonging to
St. Giles District in the various general Hospitals of London, namely,
89 ; also the Deaths in the Highgate Infirmary—40. These must be
distributed among the Sub-Districts according to the previous residences
of the deceased persons. The Deaths not belonging to us in
the British Lying-in Hospital (61) and in the Infants' Home (12),
