DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered in the Borough during the year was 2,550, but this does not
represent the true mortality among the population and, in order to obtain the corrected number
of deaths which does so represent the true mortality, it is necessary to add the deaths of
Kensington " residents" occurring beyond the district to the number registered as actually
occurring in the Borough, and to subtract from the total thus arrived at the deaths of " nonresidents"
taking place in the institutions provided in Kensington for the reception of sick or
infirm persons.
Total deaths registered in the Borough 2,550
Deaths of residents in public institutions, etc., beyond the Borough 546
3,096
Deaths of non-residents in public institutions, etc., within the
Borough 656
Corrected number of deaths belonging to the Borough 2,440
The corrected number of deaths gives a death-rate of 13.8 per 1,000 living.
