to have been 131,167 on the first clay of July, would give ten
deaths for each 527 inhabitants, or 189 deaths per 10,000
inhabitants.
If we exclude the deaths which were registered in the East
London Union, and the population also, we have 10 deaths in
each 531 inhabitants, or 188 deaths per 10,000 residents.
This is the smallest death rate I have ever reported for
this district, and is less than that for all London, or for the
Northern districts generally, as the rate for the metropolis was
214, and for the Northern districts 211 per 10,000 inhabitants.
Not only, however, was the death-rate unusually small, but the
number of births was large—namely, 4,338, which was at the
rate of 172 births to each 100 deaths, being the largest
proportion of births to deaths since 1852. In the whole
metropolis there were 165 births to each 100 deaths.
I shall now lay before you a table of the number of births
in each sub-district and in each quarter.

This table shows that the smallest number of births was
registered in the first quarter, viz., 1058, and the largest in the
third, viz., 1109. That there were 368 births registered in
Stoke Newington, 219 in Stamford Hill, 1055 in West
