111
The deaths registered in Camberwell during the year
Table XI.) were 3,734, of which 1,000 were of males, 1834
of females; and of which 58 occurred in Dulwich, 1,411 in
Camberwell, 1,261 in Peckham, and 1,004 in St. George's.
But, in addition to these, 225 parishioners died in
Hospitals or other such institutions outside the parish; of
whom 59 belonged to the sub-district of Camberwell, 115
to that of Peckham, and 51 to that of St. George's (see
Table XII.) If these deaths be added to those which were
registered in the parish, the total mortality due to the parish
becomes 3,959, instead of 3,734; that of Dulwich remains
unchanged at 58, that of Camberwell rises from 1411 to
1470, that of Peckham from 1261 to 1376, and that of St.
George's from 1,004 to 1,005.
But further, of the 1,411 deaths attributed to the subdistrict
of Camberwell, 338 occurred in the Workhouse and
Infirmaries, and 88 in the two Lunatic Asylums, making a
total of 426 deaths, which, though included in the mortuary
returns of this sub-district, no more belong to it properly
than they do to any of the other sub-districts of the parish.
In order to determine the true death-rates of the subdistricts,
it is therefore necessary to distribute these deaths
proportionately among them. This has been done in
Table IX., the last column of which gives the corrected
returns:—
