REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,
for the
Quarter ending 3rd April, 1809.
TO THE BOARD OF WORKS, WHITECHAPEL DISTRICT,
Gentlemen,
During the quarter, which terminated on Saturday,
3rd April, a period embracing fourteen weeks, there were registered in the
Whitechapel District, 682 births, viz.: 330 males and 352 females; and
721 deaths, viz.; 421 males and 297 females. In the corresponding
quarter (13 weeks) of the preceding year, the births were 703 and the
deaths G57.
The returns of births and deaths in this District for the quarter, will
not be found to agree with the returns of the Registrar General, for in the
Official Returns issued from Somerset House, the period embraced in the
quarter ending on the 3rd April, is only thirteen weeks, an intercalary
week having been introduced in the preceding quarter.
The births for the week that ended 2nd January, were 64, viz.:
29 males and 35 females; and the deaths 59, viz.: 33 males and
26 females. For the purpose of comparing the returns in this District
with those of the Registrar General, the number of births and deaths, for
the first week of this year, should be deducted from the returns of this
quarter and added to the preceding one. The births for the last thirteen
weeks have been 618, and the deaths 662.
