London County Council,
Spring Gardens, S.W.
24 th February, 1893.
MORTUARY AND CORONER'S COURT.
Sir,
The Council's Committee dealing with this matter has had
under consideration your letter of the 2nd of November as to the
provision of a Coroner's Court in Betlinal Green. The Committee
wish mo to point out that in many ways the erection and maintenance
of the Court by the Council would bo attended with
serious disadvantages, and that it would be a better arrangement
for the Vestry to provide the Court, the Council paying for its
use by the Coroner on such terms as may be agreed upon in
accordance with section 92 of the Public Health (London) Act,
1891. It will bo noted that this section directly provides for such
an arrangement, and for the information of the Vestry I enclose
copy of resolutions arrived at by the Committee, as to the basis
on which payment in such cases should bo made.
the Committee would therefore bo glad if your Vestry would
consider as to the practicability of this course being taken, and
communicate its views at an early date.
Your letter as to the Mortuary is still under consideration, and
will form the subject of a separate communication.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
H. DE LA HOOKE,
Clerk of the Council.
The Clerk,
Vestry of Bethnal Green,
Bethnal Greon, E.
