REMOVAL OF HUMAN REMAINS.
During the year only two instances have arisen of the disturbance of human
remains in the City, and the following are the facts with regard to each:—
Bishopsgate Churchyard.
During the reconstruction of the sewer under this churchyard a quantity of
human remains were unearthed. The bones, which had evidently been previously
disturbed, were small in number, and they were therefore re-interred in the churchyard
on the completion of the works.
St. Alphage, London Wall.
In the course of excavations in connection with the erection of a new front to this
Church a small number of bones was discovered. These had also been previously
disturbed and were re-interred on the site.
In neither of these instances were the remains in an offensive condition.
