(in this sub-District the London Hospital is situated) ; in the Goodman's
Fields 81, and the deaths 44 ; and in the Aldgate 47, and the
deaths 40. The deaths have exceeded the births in the Whitechapel
Church sub-District by 96, but the deaths of the 101 non-residents
in the London Hospital must be deducted. The proportion of births
to deaths is therefore 72 to 67.
The deaths in the London Hospital have been 140; of these,
101 were of non-residents, 12 of residents, and 27 of persons who either
died suddenly pr from the result of accident. The deaths of persons
who resided in this District, previous to their admission into the
London Hospital, form but a very small proportion of the total deaths
in that Institution. Excluding the deaths caused by accident (the
previous residences of persons so dying not always being given in
the weekly returns), the proportion of deaths of residents in this
Quarter is 10.6 per cent. In the last Quarter ended 2nd April, the
proportion of deaths of residents to non-residents was 17.3 per cent.
The deaths in the Workhouse Infirmary, Baker's Row, have been
67. In the corresponding Quarter of last year they were likewise 67.
The deaths from epidemic diseases in the entire District have
been 62 ; viz.: 3 from small-pox, to which must be added 14 deaths
which occurred in the Small-pox Hospitals, thus making 17 deaths
from small-pox ; 28 from measles, 1 from scarlet-fever, 7 from hooping-cough,
20 from diarrhcea and 3 from fever. No deaths from
fever occurred in the Fever Hospital of patients removed from this
District.
The number of patients suffering from small-pox and from fever,
who were removed from this District to the Asylum Hospitals, will
be seen on page 8.
In the corresponding Quarter of the previous year the deaths
from epidemic diseases were 27 ; viz.: 2 from small-pox, 1 from
measles, 2 from scarlet-fever, 1 from diphtheria, 8 from hoopingcough,
12 from diarrhcea, and 1 from fever. Nine deaths from smallpox
occurred in the Small-pox Hospital of persons belonging to this
