BURIALS AT WINDSOR.
CHAPEL MORTUARY FULL. REMOVAL OF FIVE BODIES. Australian Tress Association—United Servico (Received October 25, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. Oct. 21. Five bodies of Royal personages of lesser importance have been removed from the Royal mortuary chapel at Windsor to a special vault at Frogmore. King George desires room to be found for future emergencies in the Windsor Chapel, which already is becoming too full.
It is stated that another reason which actuated His Majesty was that some of the members of the Royal Family had expressed a preference for burial in the earth rather than in a vault. In future only Sovereigns and those it) the direct line of succession are to be buried in a vault, arid other Royal personages in a new ground.
it is stated that, the bodies removed included those of the Marquess of Cambridge. Viscount Trematon, and the Duchess of Connaught.
