205 Bodies have been removed to the Mortuary.
122 Inquests have been held, and there have been 38 Post Mortems made.
Twenty-eight Pounds Eighteen Shillings and Sixpence has been received from the
Coroner for the use of the Court Room, and Twenty-nine Pounds Two Shillings has been
paid to Mr. Burridge for the removal of bodies upon the Coroner's Order.
The water supply has been good during the year.
During the year it was feared that as Cholera was raging in Eygpt the disease would
reach these shores, but happily, by the stringent measures taken by the Local Government
Board, and the precautions used by the several vestries, no cases occurred.
