to the Green Yard and buried there. The body of a man who had died from fever was kept
for seven days in a room occupied as a day and sleeping room by the surviving members of
the family, when, before the interment of the body, a child was taken ill of the
same disease. So soon as the Inspector heard of the prolonged retention of the

occupying such room, or to register the house as a common lodging house.
