The Death-rate in St. Giles District.
The registered Deaths in St. Giles District for the year 1875
were 1,199, of which 312 belonged to the Sub-District of St. George,
Bloomsbury, 546 to St. Giles South, and 341 to St. Giles North.
The Deaths are tabulated in the same manner as the Births.

The mean Death-rate must be ascertained by the same method
of elimination as that by which the Birth-rate was determined.
I visited the Hospitals of the Metropolis, in order to ascertain
from their books the number of persons of our district who died in
them, and to ascertain, with a view to exclusion from our deaths,
those non-parishioners who died in institutions within our district.
The following table will show the number of persons who died
during the year in St. Giles Workhouse ; the British Lying-in
Hospital, Endell Street, and the Infants' Home, 35, Great Coram
Street—institutions all situated in St. Giles District.

In the next table I have carefully apportioned the numbers who
died in Public Hospitals and Institutions to the respective SubDistricts
to which they belonged:—
