The next highest mortality occurred in the third quarter,
viz., 618, and the lowest in the second, viz., 556. There were
191 deaths registered in Stoke Newington, 121 in Stamford
Hill, 568 in "West Hackney, 1038 in Hackney, and 569 in
South Hackney. This number of 1038 registered in the
Hackney sub.division does not properly belong to it, as the
deaths in the Hackney "Workhouse, the City of London Union,
the German Hospital, the deaths of parishioners in the Fever
and Small.Pox Hospitals, and some other institutions, are
included therein. It would be necessary to extract the deaths
in these Institutions, to eliminate those in the City of London
Union, and then to spread the deaths in all the others, pro rata
to the population, over the other sub.districts. As allowance
would also have to be made for the population of the institutions
varying each year, and to deduct that of the City of London
Union, it would scarcely be possible to arrive at a correct
conclusion, and I have, therefore, not attempted it, especially as
very little benefit would have resulted from the calculations.
