11,787, Tolworth 3,804, Hook & Southborough 1,776.
The total nett deaths that furnish the death rate are
those that are registered as having actually occurred
in the District itself, with the addition of those deaths
from the public institutions outside the District to
which the sick are habitually sent, namely, the
Union Infirmary, the County Lunatic Asylum at
Brookwood and the Royal Surrey County Hospital at
Guildford, and excluding deaths at public institutions
within our own District of residents belonging to

Surbiton Cottage Hospital, the Isolation Hospital at
Tolworth and the Home for Cripples in Cadogan
Road. In this way we received 18 deaths from the
Kingston Infirmary, 3 from Brookwood Lunatic
Asylum and 1 from the Royal Surrey County
Hospital, and transferred to their respective localities
4 from the Cottage Hospital and none from either of
the others.
