Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Mortuaries.
The Mortuaries in Clapham, Streatham, and Wandsworth have
been visited several times during the year, and I am able to report
that the Bye-laws and Regulations have been carried out in a
satisfactory manner.
In Clapham, 12 bodies were removed to the Mortuary, in
Streatham 12, and in Wandsworth 143—of which 63 were from
Wandsworth, 20 from Putney, 38 from Tooting, 21 from Battersea,
and one from Fulham—a total of 167.
