not consecrated or set apart for a particular denomination, a chapel for the joint common use of all denominations. They may also, at the request and cost of residents within the burial district of a particular denomination, erect and maintain a chapel for the funeral services of that denomination on ground appropriated for their use. If a burial authority fail to do this within a reasonable time after the request has been made and the cost has been tendered or adequately secured, the Home Secretary may, if he thinks fit, order and compel the burial authority to erect and maintain the chapel or give facilities for its being done.[306] Where a burial ground has been provided by a local authority under the Burial Acts, the incumbents, clerks and sextons, of the ecclesiastical parishes for which the ground has been provided, had, in respect of the burial of inhabitants of those parishes in the consecrated part of the ground, the same right to fees as they had in the churchyard for which the ground is substituted, or would have had in that churchyard if it had been the parochial burying place for their respective parishes.[307] And the burial authority were empowered to sell rights of burial in vaults and permit the erection of monuments, with a reservation of such fees to the incumbent of each parish as he would have been entitled to in the old churchyard, or as might be fixed by the vestry of the parish with the approval of the bishop.[308] But the law as to fees in these burial grounds was considerably modified by the Burial Act, 1900. Under this Act (i.) burial authorities are to submit to the Home Secretary for his approval, either with or without modification, a table of fees to be received by them (of the same amount in the consecrated and unconsecrated parts of their burial ground) in respect of services rendered by any minister of religion or sexton; and if an authority fails to submit a table, the Home Secretary may himself make one. The fees are to be collected by and payable to the burial authority with their other fees, and are to be paid over to the minister or sexton in such manner as may be agreed upon, or as may be directed by the Home Secretary in default of agreement. (ii.) In the ground of a burial authority no fee in respect of any right of exclusive burial or the erection of a monument or any matter other than services rendered by the incumbent[309] is to be payable either to the incumbent or to the churchwardens, or any trustees or other persons to which fees were previously payable by law or custom for any parochial purpose or the discharge of any debt or liability, with the following exceptions, namely: (_a_) where on 10th July 1900 fees other than for services rendered were paid in a burial ground attached to or used for the purposes of a parish, the like fees are to continue payable during the incumbency of the then incumbent or during fifteen years from that date,
