The deaths (Table IX.) registered in Camberwell
during the year amounted to 3,993; of which 1,981 were of
males, and 2,012 of females; and of which 55 were returned
from Dulwich, 1,492 from Camberwell, 1,397 from Peckham,
and 1,049 from St. George's, The deaths were more numerous
than those of 1885 by 243. There was an increase in Dulwich
of 2, in Camberwell of 155, in Peckham of 60, and in
St. George's of 26.
Of the 1,492 returned from the sub district of Camberwell,
326 occurred in the Workhouse, and 115 in the two Lunatic
Asylums, making a total of 441 deaths, which (though included
in the Mortuary Returns of this sub district) no
more belong properly to it than they do to the other suhr
districts of the Parish. In order to determine the death rates
of the sub districts, it is necessary to distribute these deaths
proportionately among them. This has been done in Table
VII., the last column of which gives the corrected returns.
