In the Spitalfields sub-District the births were 194, and the
deaths 114; in the Mile End New Town 144, and the deaths 140
(in this sub-District the Workhouse is situated); in the Whitechapel
North 78, and the deaths 40; in the Whitechapel Church 51, and the
deaths 211 (in this sub-District the London Hospital is situated); in
the Goodman's Fields 79, and the deaths 57; and in the Aldgate 40,
and the deaths 39. The deaths have exceeded the births in the Whitechapel
Church sub-District by 160, but the deaths of the 102 nonresidents
in the London Hospital must be deducted. The proportion
of births to deaths is therefore 51 to 109.
The deaths in the London Hospital have been 174; of these,
102 were of non-residents, 25 of residents, and 47 of persons who
either died suddenly or 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 14.3 per cent. In the last Quarter, ended 2nd July, the
proportion of deaths of residents to non-residents was 10.6 per cent.
The deaths in the Workhouse Infirmary, Baker's Row, have
been 80. In the corresponding Quarter of last year they were 68.
The deaths from epidemic diseases in the entire District have
been 12C; viz.: 3 from small-pox, to which must be added the 7
deaths which occurred in the Small-pox Hospitals, thus making 10
deaths from small-pox; 20 from measles, 12 from scarlet-fever, 2 from
diphtheria, 14 from hooping-cough, 66 from diarrhoea, and 9 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 pages 8 and 9.
In the corresponding Quarter of the previous year, the deaths
from epidemic diseases were 98, viz.: 4 from measles, 9 from scarletfever,
4 from diphtheria, 7 from hooping-cough, 70 from diarrhoea,
and 4 from fever. Seven deaths from small-pox occurred in the Smallpox
Hospital of persons belonging to this District,
