During this quarter of 13 weeks, 508 deaths have been
registered in the Parish—it is a larger number than usual, being
a rate of 17.7 per 1000 of the estimated population. 93 deaths,
or 18.3 per cent. of the whole were in the Hospital and Workhouse,
but as a number of the population of this Parish die in
other Parishes, I have not eliminated those from outside places
that die in St. Mary's Hospital.
The birth-rate is 25.4, and the rate of mortality in young
children to the whole deaths is 36 per cent.
