This License shall, if any of the conditions on which it is granted
be not complied with, be deemed to have been void from the beginning,
and, if not acted upon within twelve months from this date, shall
become void.
(Signed) A. Akers Douglas,
One of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State.
Whitehall,
15th September, 1903.
In accordance with the conditions of the license I authorised
the London Necropolis Company, of Westminster Bridge Road
(Mr. J. B. Walker, General Manager), to make arrangements
for the suitable removal of these bones in cases, with any
necessary addition of disinfectants which might be found
desirable. The encasement and removal of about 150 skeletons
took place on September 17th. The operations were carried out
under my personal supervision, Inspector Davis being present
during the carrying out of that portion of the work when I
was engaged elsewhere. Mr. Walker has certified that the
cases were in due course removed to Brookwood Cemetery,
and were re-interred with due care and decency.
On November 13th my attention was again called by Mr.
Ward, the Works Manager of the works in Bayer Street, to a
second quantity of bones which had been met with in the course
of excavations. In accordance with the conditions of the license
granted me by the Home Secretary on September 15th, I
arranged with the London Necropolis Company to make arrangements for the proper and suitable removal of these bones in cases,
with any necessary addition of disinfectants which might be
found desirable. The encasement and removal of about
120 skeletons took place on Monday, November 16th, and was
completed by noon. The operations were carried out in a proper
manner, and the cases were in due course removed to Brookwood
Cemetery, and there re-interred.
