DEATHS.
The number of deaths registered in the year under consideration was
3,600, of which 1,857 were males and 1,743 females. Of the 3,600
deaths registered in the sub-districts of the borough, 770 occurred in the
Poor-Law institutions, the various hospitals, and other public places for
the treatment of the sick found within our boundaries. These deaths in
institutions comprised 288 belonging to Southwark, and 482 to other
boroughs of the Metropolis. The various localities in which the
"outlying" deaths occurred are shown in the following table. The
number of inhabitants belonging to the Borough dying away from home—
that is, outside our boundaries in the various hospitals and infirmaries—
was 1,295. Of this very large number as many as 705 died in the
Southwark Infirmary at Champion Hill. The remainder, with but few
exceptions, died in the large public hospitals.
The percentage of persons dying away from home in relation to the
total number of deaths occurring in the Borough was 293.
