These 367 Deaths include those non-parishioners who died in
the Charing Cross Hospital, and therefore must be omitted in
estimating the death-rate, but, on the other hand, the deaths
occurring in Public Institutions outside the Parish among persons
belonging thereto must be added. On referring to Table 7, it will
at once make clear what I have just stated.
In estimating the Death-rate, I do so in two forms, the first in
which are excluded 17 deaths of aged parishioners occurring in
Edmonton Workhouse and 1 at St. Martin's Almshouses, Camden
Town, they having been resident in these Institutions many years
prior to their death, and in the second I have included them.
Death-rate of St. Martin-in-the-Pields for the
year 1895, excluding 17 deaths of aged
parishioners occurring in the Edmonton Workhouse
and 1 in St. Martin's Almshouses
15.2 per 1,000 of
the estimated
population.
