These 420 Deaths include those non-parishioners who died in
ihc Charing' Cross Hospital, and therefore must be omitted in
estimating* the death-rate, but on the other hand the deaths
occurring outside the Parish among persons belonging thereto,
must be added. On referring to Table 7. it will at once clearly show
my meaning.
The Death-rate for the ear 1891. is 22.4 per 1,000. This rate of
mortality is considerably higher than the previous year 1890, bat
as I stated in my remarks upon the birth-rate, which apply also to
the death-rate, this rise over the previous year is due to the
calculations being based upon a lower census. The number of
deaths on which the death-rate was computed in 1890 was 825,
and in 1891, 326, so that the two years are about equal. Then
again, since the year 1883, I have included in the annual death-rate
of our Parish all those deaths of parishioners occurring in Hospitals
and Asylums outside the Parish, also the deaths in the Camden
Town Alms Houses, and the Edmonton Workhouse of the Strand
