The number of Births registered in this District during the year has
been 2751, and the Deaths 2506, including those of non-residents in the
London Hospital (567). In the preceding year the births were 2754 and
the deaths 2348, including the deaths of 511 non-residents.
The deaths in the "Workhouse have been 315, against 335 for the
previous year; and the deaths in the London Hospital 728 against 716.
The population of the District, at the taking of the last census, was
76,573; which is 2397 less than when the census was taken in 1861.
The deaths being (excluding 567 of non-residents) 1939, the rate of
mortality has been, during the year, 25.2 per 1000, or 1 in 39.6 of all

the London Hospital must be eliminated, which this year, as before stated
amount to 728. This gives a rate of mortality of 23.2 per 1000.

306 from epidemic diseases, viz.: 23 from small-pox, to which must be
