explained in my first report, the birth rate remains
nearly stationary — has in fact slightly decreased.
Little variation can be expected, so long as the condition
of the residents in Tyburnia is the same, as
regards their ages, the proportion of the sexes, their
social position, and the existence of so many unmarried
persons, mostly of the domestic servant class.
Of the 1,886 deaths registered in the parish, 5
occurred in the Lock Hospital, and 224 in St. Mary's
Hospital. But as none of those who died in the Lock
Hospital, and 49 only of those who died in St. Mary's
Hospital, were parishioners, the corrected number of
deaths of parishioners during the year is 1,706.
Of these 1,706 deaths, 1,220 occurred in St. Mary's
sub-district, including the 147 deaths, 64 males and
83 females, which took place in the Workhouse. The
remaining 486 deaths occurred in St. John's, and include
the 49 which happened in St. Mary's Hospital.
The deaths were most numerous in the second,
and least so in the third, quarter of the year.
