![REPORT Gentlemen, 1 have the honour to lay before you my Twelfth Annual Report. During the year 1893, the number of deaths registered was 428, includ¬ ing 48 which occurred in the Union Workhouse. The population, April, 1891, was for 3,640 dwellings 18,452, since then the number of inhabited dwellinghouses has increased to 3,835, and allowing 5 per house I calculate the popu]ation to middle of 1893, to be about 19,000. Estimating the population therefore to be 19,000, the death-rate is equal to 22’5 per 1,000. 59 deaths were reported from seven principal Zymotic Diseases, and calculating on the same population these give a Zymotic death-rate of 3*1 per 1,000. With reference to sex 213 males, and 215 females died, 346 males and 332 females were born. The total number of births was 678, giving a birth-rate of 35’6 per 1,000. The death of children under 1 year were 132, being 19’4 per cent, of number born. The death under 5 years numbers 187, being 43*6 per cent, of the whole number of death registered. 25 deaths were uncertified, being 5*7 per cent, of total death. 2 Coroner Cases were held, 1893. The following table epitomises the ages at which death occurred:— Under 1 year Over 1 year and under 5 132 55 187 Over 5 years and under 15 Over 15 ,, ,, 25 Over 25 ,, ,, 65 Over 65 ,, 20 22 114 85 241 Total 428](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29903452_0005.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
