MORTUARY.
The room in the old Watch-house, at the corner of Church Row, is
still our only mortuary accommodation, there being certain legal difficulties
in the way of its conversion into a proper mortuary; it is, however,
hoped that these difficulties will be shortly removed, and the work proceeded
with.
Mr. J. W. Burrows informs me that during the past year 41 bodies
have been received, the greatest number at one time being four.
