mother for interment, and upon being asked for the fees
refused to pay them until the corps had been buried.
Mr. Charlton at once shut the gates, and refused the
corpse admittance. Seeing the state of affairs, Mr.

the spot, theompanthd by • concourse of roughs, who
had gained knowledge of the proceedings. The gates

to make a stand, zed plead the bier before the door
to stop their Mouses. When the funeral pro/onion
reached the door another scene rionirred. Mr. Charlton

and the sofilin iato the church amidst tremendous
uprose. Ditties service was at the time being performed,
and the elergyman was in the middle of his sermon.

taking refuge in a pew was followed, the pew broken,
and be received several kicks. The Rev. Dr. Sheddoe,
the officiating minister, esideavoared to restore order,
and proceeded to bury the throes. The burial service
was gone through without interruption, and the clergy-
man was °Seating in another part of the churchyard,
when Mr. Charlton's eldest son went up to Mrs.
Walker's grave and raid that if he had been th re before
she 1111011111 not have teen buried. This so infuriated
the mob that they at thee wised him and forced him
into the grave, and nearly covered him with soil, being
loudly cheered by the spectators. Jost upon this Mr.
Charlton earth to the spot, and be dee was thrown into
the grave with his son, and would soon have been
smothered had not the police stein appeared on the
ethos, and *barged the mob. As it wee, both Kr.
