On Tuesday evening the Magistrates of Union Hall and the Parish Officers of St. George's, met at the Committee Room, in the Workhouse, to enquire into the circumstances relative to the remains of the body of a man, Which was discovered in the course of the morning concealed in a sack at the back of the Globe Public-house; in the Borough-road. A woman, named Jane Jones, who in the morning had claimed the relict as part of the body of her husband, who she said was a sailor lately escaped horn the French prison, and from whom she had been separated by accident on Saturday last, now totally denied the cirennistance, and it evidently appeared sle had fabricated the story for the purpose of obtaining money from the l'arish Officers. Enquiries during the day had been made by Coiling bourne and other Officers, and amongst other intelligence which they had gained, it appeared, that two resurrection men having quatrelred and fought, the person who was vanquished, had ':)urse to this mode of revenge. He procured the mutilated - trill*, the sußjea of enquiry, and put, it into the sack, inclosing with It a paper, contain - big the address of his opponent, and a :istaternent, that at his house would be found the remainder of V.IW body. This circumstance drew a multitude to the house of the party accused, who insisted on searching the premises ; the wife only 'being at home, shut and barricadoed the door, and informed the mob, that if th ey would fetch the Officers of Union Hall, she would admit them, .and any two respectable persons, to search. '111.;y did set, but on the search taking place, no circumstances appeared which could give room for suspicion. The search was so complete, as fully to satisfy the mob of the innocence of the party accused, and they inimediatelf - dispersed. To the dis tract of those concerned, till the Officers put a stop to it, the mutilated corpse was exhibited to the populace by a dirty Jew, at a penny and twopence per head. The Parish Officers have ordered the remains t 9 be decently interred. POLICE.
