There are two mortuaries each having a Coroner's Court attached,
one is situated at Manor Place and the other at Collier's Rents. The
Coroner's Court at Manor Place is not so satisfactory as that at Collier's
Rents, inasmuch as there is no retiring room for the Coroner, also the
accommodation is limited. There is a resident caretaker at each and
telephonic communication has been installed.
