DEATH RATE.
Taking the enumerated population as a basis, we shew a
mortality rate, for the year 1891, of 25.41 ; this is slightly (0.63)
above the rate of the previous year. It exceeds, by about four per
thousand, the rate for the whole Metropolis (which was 21.1), and
it is also above that of the combined Eastern Districts of London,
which was 23.9.
The following table, extracted from the Registrar General's
annual summary, gives the birth and death rates of persons belonging
to London, and to its groups of Registration Districts for the
