The above deaths are referred to in an early paragraph of this
Report as those of parishioners who died in Institutions outside
the Parish, and it will be seen that they constitute a considerable
proportion of the total deaths, viz., 45*1 per cent. The list of such
deaths is furnished to me weekly from the Registrar-General's
office and is therefore official, nevertheless, I have from time to
time had reason to doubt its correctness, more especially of those
persons who have died in the various establishments belonging to
the Holborn Union, and who are for the most part simply described
in the list as of " St. Luke's." The result of enquiries
has been to prove that my doubts have been well founded, and
that not more than 20 per cent, of the cases described as of
St. Luke's really belong to this Parish.
Inquests.
Ninety-nine Inquests were held on the bodies of parishioners
during the year, being at the rate of 9.2 per cent, of the total
deaths. Seventy-two enquiries (2 being as to the cause of death
of non-parishioners) took place at the Coroner's Court belonging
to this Parish, and the cause of death was ascertained by postmortem
examination in 48 instances,
