ANNUAL DEATH RATE.
The deaths during the year from all causes were 2713, being at the
rate of 20.9 per 1000 persons living, or one death in every 47.6 of the
population, the corresponding rate for the whole of London being 21.8.
The following table shews the mortality rate for the whole of London,
and for this parish in contrast:—

As before mentioned, the Zymotic death rate was 3 per 1000. These
results shew very much in our favour; our death rate is below tho
average for the rest of London, both for Zymotic and general diseases.
ANNUAL BIRTH RATE.
Tho births during the year wore 5268, or one to every 24.5 of the
population, giving a rate of 40.7 per 1000 persons living; the rate for the
whole of London for the corresponding period being 36.5, a difference of
4.2 per thousand. Of this number, however, only 4453 attained the age
of one year, 815 having died under twelve months of age; that is at the
rate of 154.7 per thousand children born, or one child out of every 6.4
dies before attaining the age of twelve months.
The vital statistics at the end of this report are, like those presented
last year, based upon the weekly printed returns of the Registrar-General,
and extend only to the principal Zymotic diseases, and one or two others.
By a recent resolution of the Vestry, however, we have been, for the last
eight months, supplied by the local registrars with particulars of all deaths
registered in the parish, so that in future reports I shall be able to present
detailed statistics of our mortality.
COW HOUSES.
The cow houses have been frequently inspected, and, in many instances,
improvements suggested by us have been carried out; but, from the
