In six out of the eight Ecclesiastical Divisions of the
Parish the death-rate was below that of the Metropolis, viz.
Bkixton 15¾ per thousand.
Kennington- 2nd Part 16¾
Norwood 17
Waterloo Road—2nd Part 20¾ „
Kennigton — 1st Part 21 ½ „
Waterloo Road—1st Part 22 ½ „
In the other two Divisions the death-rate was high, viz.—
Lambeth Church- 1st Part 24 1/4per thousand.
Lambeth Church—2nd Part 35 „
But, in estimating the comparative mortality of the several
Sub-divisions, it is right to make allowance for the Adult and
Infant Workhouses. The average number of inmates of the
Adult Workhouse during the year was 820, and the deaths
312 ; that of the Infant Workhouse at Norwood 350, and the
deaths 20. Excluding then the population and deaths in the
Workhouses, the death-rate of the Norwood District would
be 15½, instead of 17 1/4 per thousand; and the Lambeth
Church, 2nd Part District, 25½, instead of 35 per thousand.
