in each of the sub-districts was respectively as follows: in Stoke
Newington 9.4 and 10.5; in Stamford Hill 4.6 and 4.7; in West
Hackney 23.5 and 23.1; in Hackney 37.9 and 36.7, and in South
Hackney 24.5 and 25.0. As compared with 1871, the percentage
of births are smaller in all the sub-districts except in
Stoke Newington, in which it has increased from 9.7 to 10.5 per
cent. of all the births registered in the Hackney District.

The deaths in 1875, as before stated, were in excess of those
in 1874, as 2984 deaths were registered last year against 2799 in
1874. The number of deaths in each of the different sub-districts
was as follows: 280 deaths in Stoke Newington against 190 in
1874; 115 in Stamford Hill against 136 in 1874; 611 in West
Hackney against 579 last year; 1267 in Hackney and 1275 in
1874; and 675 in South Hackney against 619 last year. The
excess of mortality from epidemic diseases in 1875 accounts to a
small extent for the much larger number of deaths in Stoke
Newington, as there were 36 against 20 last year. The excess
of deaths from zymotic diseases was entirely due to deaths from
hooping cough and diarrhoea, so that there was a large proportion
of mortality under 1 year, viz, 76 against 151. The
larger number of births and deaths registered in Stoke Newington
last year, as compared with those registered in 1870, indicates
a decidedly greater advance in its population than in any other
of the sub-districts. The number of births and deaths in South
Hackney also point to a rather large addition to the inhabitants,
which is also supported by the diminished number of houses
returned as "empty" by the collectors. The population of West
