The mortality of Lambeth still continues to Hear favourable
comparison with that of the whole Metropolis, as well as that
of the Southern District of which it is part, the result is still
more favourable as compared with the previous two years.
The four most healthy districts during the year were as usual
Norwood, Kennington 2nd, Brixton, and Kennington 1st. The
mortality of Brixton being (after deducing the deaths of strangers
in the Hospitals, at Stockwell) 172.70 per 10,000 ; in Kennington,
2nd part, 164.00 per 10,000; in Norwood, 130.80 per 10,000;
and in Kennington, 1st part, 186.50 per 10,000. The four less
healthy districts were Waterloo Road, 1st and 2nd, and Lambeth
Church, 1st and 2nd. The mortality in Waterloo Road, 1st,
(after deducting the deaths in the Hospital, situate in that
district), being 226.10 per 10,000; in Waterloo Road, 2nd,
after similar deductions, 204.80 pe 10,000; in Lambeth Church
1st, deductiog the deaths in St Thomas's Hospital, 230.70 per
10,000; and in Lambeth Church, 2nd, after the deductions of
those dying in the Workhouse, 184.10 per 10,000.
By the same table it is shown that one person amongst every
45.42 living, died in London during the year; one amongst 41.67
living, died in the South District; and one amongst every 43.66
living, died in the whole of Lambeth. In the Waterloo Road,

the year; in Waterloo Road, 2nd, one amongst 46.90 living,
died iu the year; in Lambeth Church, 1st, one amongst 25.96
living, died during the year; but here we have St. Thomas's
Hospital contributing largely to swell the death-rate, and reduce
those living to those who died; in Lambeth Church, 2nd, (including
the Workhouse), one amongst 34.90 living; in the
Kennington, 1st, one amongst 52.70 living; in Kennington, 2nd,
one amongst 59.90 living; in Brixton, (including the Stockwell
