597 births, and 313 deaths during the year; in the Waterloo
Road, 2nd part district, 999 births, and 469 deaths; in the
Lambeth Church, 1st part district, 812 births, and 420 deaths;
in the Lambeth Church, 2nd part district, 1,407 births, and 1,033
deaths, 390 of which occurred in the Workhouse; in the Kennington
1st part district, 1,424 births, and 769 deaths; in the Kennington
2nd part district, 851 births, and 430 deaths; in the Brixton
district 899 births, and 424 deaths; and in the Norwood district,
398 births, and 195 deaths, 40 of which occurred in the Children's
Workhouse.
The death rate of the Parish of Lambeth has for a series of
years contrasted very favourably with that of the entire
metropolis.
In the year 1867 the respective death rates very nearly corresponded,
owing to an extraordinary low death rate having prevailed
in London, in which the deaths were nearly 10,000 less
than in the previous year.
The comprehensive mortality of Lambeth, the entire metropolis,
and the South District, of which Lambeth forms a part, is shown
in Table 111, which gives the estimated increased population as
well of each of the Divisions of the Parish, upon which the death
rate of each is calculated; from which it will be seen that the
most healthy districts of Lambeth during 1867, were the Norwood,
Brixton, Waterloo Road, 1st part, Kennington, 2nd part,
and Lambeth Church, 1st part, districts; the Mortality being in
the Norwood district (excluding the Workhouse) at the rate of
157 per 10,000 of the estimated population; in the Brixton
district 177; in the Waterloo Road, 1st part, 195; in the
Kennington, 2nd part district, 200; and in the Lambeth Church,
1st put, 202 per 10,000 of the population; in the other three
Districts, viz:—the Kennington, 1st part; the Waterloo Road,
2nd part; and the Lambeth Church, 2nd part: the Mortality was
218 per 10,000 of the estimated population in the Kennington, 1st
part; 219 in the Waterloo Road, 2nd part; and 333 in the Lambeth
