DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered during the year was 2,884 against
3,060 last year,—a decrease of 176. This number is inclusive of 138
strangers, who, though ordinarily resident in other parts of London,
came for treatment, and died in hospital in Bethnal Green; they are
therefore excluded. On the other hand I have received information
from the General Register Office of the deaths of 236 inhabitants of
Bethnal Green who died in hospital outside the limits of the parish.
In this number are included the deaths of parishioners in hospital
ships, and in the camp at Darenth. These 236 deaths must therefore
be added, making a net total of 3,009.
I continue to receive from Somerset House information of the
deaths of parishioners in extra parochial Hospitals, and I include
them in the returns I present each month to the Vestry ; in addition
to these deaths, however, a certain number of persons belonging to
London die in Metropolitan and County Asylums situated in the extra
Metropolitan parts of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent. In order to
shew our mortality absolutely correctly, the cases belonging to this
district should be included, and Mr. Waters, of the General Register
Office, has kindly offered to supply me with the necessary particulars.
