somewhat above the mean, and consequently the number above
65 years was below it.
The number of deaths above 80 continues about the same as in
past years. There were 15 deaths at 80-1 years of age, 18 deaths
at 81-2 years, 19 deaths at 82-3 years, 20 deaths at 83-4 years,
16 at 84-5 years, 14 at 85-6 years, 8 at 86-7 years, 7 at 87-8
years, 4 at 88-9 years, and 6 at 89-90. No less than 9 deaths
were recorded between 90 and 91 years of age, 4 between 91
and 92, 5 between 92 and 93, 4 between 93 and 94, and 1 each
at following very advanced ages, viz., at 95-6, 96-7, 97-8, 98-9,
99-100, and 1 above 100 years of age.
Having now treated of the statistics of Hackney as a whole
I now propose devoting a short space to the different subdistricts.
The tables which I have to lay before you are not
absolutely correct as regards the deaths, as there are many institutions
in the Hackney sub-districts, and the number of deaths
belonging to each sub-district cannot be accurately assigned
to it, as I do not know the boundaries of each. As regards
the births, they are comparable, as these causes of error do not
exist. The birth-rate for all London, as well as in Hackney,
was lower than in any year since 1860, although the births
registered in 1884 consisted of those recorded in 53 weeks.
