ENGLAND AND WALES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Sept. 14. A decline in births, fewer deaths, and a very big increase in marriages are recorded in the quarterly return of the Registrar-General issued to-day, and covering registrations in England and Wales during three months ended June 30. Live births numbered 154,165, which were 11,238 fewer than in the corresponding quarter of 1932. Of these births, 79,033 were boys and 75,132 girls. Deaths numbered 108,609, and were 61,393 fewer than in the preceding quarter, and 7619 fewer than in the corresponding quarter of 1932. The death-rate was 10.8 per 1000 of the population, or O.S per 1000 below, that recorded during the second quarter of 1932.
