From this table we learn that 128 deaths happened
in Stoke Newington; 102 in Stamford-hill; 450 in
West Hackney; 867 in Hackney; and 385 in South
Hackney. After excluding the deaths in the East
London Union and the German Hospital, and distributing,
proportionately, those in the Workhouse, we find
the corrected numbers to be 134 for Stoke Newington;
107 for Stamford-hill; 474 for West Hackney; 668
for Hackney; and 400 for South Hackney;—making a
total of 1783. Of the total number of deaths, 1932,
546 were registered in the first quarter, 485 in the
second, 474 in the third, and 427 in the fourth. These
departures from the mean for the year were far greater
than occurred in London generally, arising chiefly from
the small mortality in Hackney during the last quarter
of the year, when the mortality is ordinarily nearly as
great as in the first quarter.
The correspondence between the population in 1861
and the deaths for 1863 is moderately close in Stoke
Newington, Stamford-hill, and Hackney sub-districts, but
varies considerably in West Hackney and South Hackney,
the death-rate having been smaller than the proportion
of population in West Hackney, and larger than the
proportion in South Hackney. The birth-rate, however,
as already stated, as well as the next table, show that
the population of South Hackney has increased since
1861 at a greater rate than in the other sub-districts.
The next table (No. 4.) shows the ratio which the
