populated neighbourhood, this Vestry is of opinion
that representations should be made to the Home
Office, asking them to use the powers vested in them
to prevent all common interments in future, as the
health of the inhabitants is calculated to be endangered
thereby, and that representations to this effect be
forthwith forwarded to the Home Office.
