BY BARNARD HOLT, E.R.C.S.,
Medical Officer of Health.
To the Members of the United Vestry.
Gentlemen,
As is my usual custom, I shall commence with recording
the number of births and deaths that have been
returned during the year, and shall afterwards place before
you, in detail, the several interesting sanitary improvements
that have been effected during the year.
The number of births registered during the present year
has been 732 males and 717 females, or a total of 1,449 births,
while the deaths have numbered 599 males and 549 females,
or a total of 1,148 deaths; from these, however, have to be
deducted 46 as having been due to accidents, which reduces
the actual number to 1,102. The deaths during the year 1891
were 1,099, thus showing an increase of 3 as compared with
the previous year.
The following is a tabular statement of births and deaths
arranged as to sex :—
