THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the Burial Act, 1855, it was, amongst other things, enacted that it should be lawful for His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, from time to time to postpone the time appointed by any Order in Council for the discontinuance of burials, or otherwise to vary any Order in Council made under any of the Acts recited in the said Act, or under the said Act (whether the time thereby appointed for the discontinuance of burials thereunder, or other operation of such Order, should or should not have arrived), as to His Majesty, with such advice as aforesaid, might seem fit :

AND WHEREAS an Order in Council was made on the 1st day of May, 1890, directing the discontinuance of burials, in, amongst other places, the Parish Churchyard of Wickhambrook, in the County of Suffolk :

AND WHEREAS it seems fit to His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, that the said Order in Council of the 1st day of May, 1890, should be varied :

NOW, THEREFORE, His Majesty, by and with the advice aforesaid, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said Order shall be varied so that, notwithstanding anything therein, the burial of the body of the late Reverend Alexander McKechnie, Vicar of Wickhambrook, may be allowed in a new earthen grave in the said Churchyard.
