Registers of Civil Status

Registers of Civil Status.

Chap. 8.—The duplicate registers maybe divided into 3 vols, one each for births, marriages and burials, or 2 vols.—marriages and births together. They may be blank or prepared with printed forms, but where there are only two vols, the births are to be placed consecutively in the first part and marriages in the latter part of that vol. When bodies are delivered to schools of medicine &c., the person performing that duty makes entry of it in the duplicate register in place of a burial. The Inspector of Anatomy is bound to do this after three days' notice from the clergyman to whose faith the deceased belonged. Space is to be left at the end of the duplicate register of deaths for such entries. The Inspector is liable to a penalty of $8 to $80 for neglect of this duty. An alphabetical index must be made at the end of each register by the person keeping it.
