    8 Years. No. of Factories. No. of Workshops. No. of Outworkers. 1910 444 1,321 3,164 1911 489 1,157 3,071 1912 507 1,221 2,559 1913 553 1,217 2,451 Such a change is usually associated with increased sickness and mortality-rates, but the change is being effected in the Borough of Hackney coincident with a diminishing mortality. I have pleasure in stating that the officers of the department have on the whole carried out the duties entrusted to them to my entire satisfaction. Population and Density.—Applying the rate of increase observed during the last intercensal period to the population of Hackney, I estimate the population of the Borough to number 223,716. This estimate gives a density of population for the whole Borough of 68'0 persons per acre, varying from 50 3 persons in the North Sub-district to 98'4 persons per acre in the South-West Sub-district. The following table gives the estimated population and density of population per acre for each of the Registration Sub-districts in the Borough:— Table.
