But since 1837 UK law had required that a medical examiner issue a certificate of death before a burial could take place; as Beswick had died in 1758 an appeal had to be made to the Secretary of State, who issued an order for her burial.
Dende 1837 a lei británica requiría que un examinador médico estendese un certificado de defunción antes de levar a cabo un enterro; como Beswick morrera en 1758, fíxose unha petición ao ministro do Interior, quen emitiu unha orde para executalo.
