REPORT.
Office of the Board of Works, Whitechapel District,
No. 15, Great Alie Street, Whitechapel,
October 8th, 1884.
Gentlemen,
I have to report that during the quarter ended on Saturday,
September the 27th, there were registered in the Whitechapel
District 573 births and 595 deaths. The detailed particulars of these
births and deaths are indicated in Table A. of the Appendix. As the
Whitechapel Union Infirmary is in the Mile End New Town sub-district,
and as 25 births took place in that Institution, I have distributed
those births amongst the sub-districts, where the mothers previously
resided, as exhibited in Table B. The number of deaths registered
in the district was 595, but from this total must first be deducted
the deaths of 188 non-residents in district public institutions, or in
private houses in the district; to the 407 now arrived at, must be
added the deaths of 16 residents registered in other parts of London.
The resulting total of 423 represents correctly the district mortality.
Tables C and D are compiled to explain this arrangement.
That the figures recorded may be serviceable for future as well
as present comparison, the same plan is adopted, as in previous
Reports, and on the same Table with our own district figures, I have
arranged those which refer to the deaths of London inhabitants.
The latter portion is compiled from the Weekly Returns issued by
the Registrar-General.
The natural increase of births over deaths is 150, against 303
last quarter.
