The first three consist of litters only, and are in charge of the
Metropolitan Police. These are for public service, not for private
use.
There is a one-horse ambulance at the Guardians' Offices; the
St. John's Ambulance Brigade possesses 6 horse-drawn vehicles
besides a number of litters.
These 7 last mentioned ambulances are for either public or
private use, in the latter case at a fixed scale of charges, to be
obtained on application.
Three of the horse ambulances belonging to the St. John's
Ambulance Brigade are used publicly on the occasion of important
State and municipal ceremonials.
All the ambulances are available for use at any time and hour.
