The births were 74 more than in the preceding year, but 60
less than the average.

In each year a number of deaths of parishioners takes place in
General and Special Hospitals, in the Workhouses, and in the
Infirmary, all of which are extra-parochial.
The number of deaths which occurred in the Hospitals was
192; in the Workhouses, 111; and in the Infirmary, 90; 23
deaths occurring in Lunatic Asylums; and 4 from drowning,
making a total of 420. The numbers, causes, and ages of the
deaths are given in the tables appended to this Report.
The population of the Parish has increased since the taking of
the Census in 1891; but taking the numbers of that Census, the
intra-parochial mortality amounts to 12 per 1,000; including the
Workhouse and Infirmary and the Hospital deaths, to 18 per
1,000.
The very small mortality of the year will be at once noticed.
This cannot be attributed to a diminution of the population,
which has decidedly increased; nor to the number of extraparochial
deaths having increased, for these have considerably
diminished.
The deaths occurring in the outlying portion of the Parish at
Muswell Hill are enumerated with those of the Pentonville subdistrict.
The mortality of all London during the year, was 17.8 per
1,000; that of the West districts being 17.1; of the North
districts, 16.3; of the Central districts, 20.0; of the East
districts, 20.8 ; and of the South districts, 16.2.
