metery in the old parish of BIRMINGHAM, and in the Church of England Cemetery at BIRMINGHAM respectively, and it seems fit that the operation of the said Orders be in part postponed; now, thereHer Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the operation of the said two Orders in Council, in so far as they direct only one body to be buried in any common grave in the two cemeteries above mentioned, be postponed until the first of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine.

thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, in the churchyard of LUDDENDEN, in the parish of Halifar, with certain exceptions therein mentioned, and such period has since been extended to the first of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, and it seems fit that the said Order be varied; now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice aforesaid, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and after the said first day of May, burials be discontinued in the churchyard of Luddenden, in the parish of Halifax, with the exception of vaults and brick or stone graves, which were in existence on the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and fiftyeight, whether walled to the surface of the ground or not, provided that, when required, they be opened without disturbing soil that has been already buried in, and that each coffin be separately entombed in an air-tight manner.
