I have further to report that for the year ending December 31st,
1894, 45 bodies of persons who have died at the Poplar Hospital
have been removed from that institution to the Poplar Mortuary, for
the convenience of the relatives and the holding of inquests thereon,
when needed. In no case has it been necessary to use the Board's
Mortuary, Wellington Road, Bromley, for the retention of bodies,
until such time or arrangements could be made (or the burial of same.
By the directions of Mr. Young, the Public Analyst, I have obtained
51 samples of food &c. for analysis.

in penalties being inflicted as follow:— Two cases 30/- penalty and
2/- costs each, two cases of 40/- penalties and 2/- costs in one case,
one case 20/- penalty and 2/- costs, and the remaining case 60/penalty
without costs, and one case under the Margarine Act, 20/penalty
and 3/- costs.

Your obedient Servant,
