BIRTHS.
The number of Births registered in the Borough during 1928 was
3,028, of which 1,553 were males, and 1,475 females. This represents a
birth-rate of 16.7 per 1,000 inhabitants.
The number of births registered in the individual parishes was as
follows:— Newington, 1,655; St. George the Martyr, 773; Christchurch
and St. Saviour's, 600.
Of the 3,028 births registered in the Borough 226 were transferred

674 births occurring in various lying-in and other institutions outside
the Borough, but belonging to Southwark parents, were notified to me by
