§ MR. SHIRLEY (Yorkshire, W. R, Doncaster)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether burials can now take place without scandal or indecency in the Bolton-on-Dearne Churchyard; why the coming into operation of the order for closing the said churchyard has been postponed; and, whether the said churchyard cannot be enlarged, or a new burial ground acquired?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS), (Birmingham, E.)in reply, said, that he had been informed by the Inspector that burials could take place in certain parts of the churchyard of Bolton-on-Dearne without scandal or indecency. The Order in Council closing the churchyard had been postponed until March next, in order to enable the parishioners to take steps to obtain a new burial ground. His approval had been asked for a site a short distance from the church.
