BOARD OF WORKS
For the
LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Report on
the sanitary condition of your District during the year 1874.
In that period there were registered 2,086 births and 1,218
deaths.
From this latter number should be deducted 33, the number
of deaths of non-residents which occurred in the East London
Hospital for Children; and to it should be added 176, the number
of deaths of residents in the District which occurred in the
Stepney Sick Asylum at Bromley. This will give a total of 1,361
deaths of persons resident in the Limehouse District during the
year.
The following Table exhibits the number of Births registered
in each sub-district, the quarter when registered, and the sex:—
