Exhumations.—During the year notices were received from
the Home Office concerning three exhumations at the Council's
Cemeteries. One was in respect of the removal of a body to Carshalton
and the remaining two concerned the re-interment of bodies
at Charlton Cemetery. In all cases the Sanitary Inspector for the
District was present to see that the usual precautions were observed.
