Edward Robinson, one of the park constables, said the
two umbrella& were found in the recess cupboard spinet
which the prisoner stood. The prisooer, when they were

into the custody of the polio*, examined, " For God's make

The prisoner denied the charge.

THE DISCOVIRY OP BODIES IP WBITECHAPSI
CHURCH.

On Saturday thermion Mr. John Humphreys, the Middle.
see coroner, and a jury, assembled at the Aiwa Tavern,
High-street, Whitechapel, to investigate the circumstance,
attending the discovery.
The jury haviog been sworn, they proceeded to view the
bodies, sod upon their return, the coroner said, although
there had been 14 bodice found, he should only go into
the *Maumee respecting one.
Joseph Cooper use then sworn, and said that he was a
carpenter, and was engaged on Thursday morning at White-
chapel Church, and wm also employed there on the Ttod
slit He was eegsged en the roof, and found a ooffio about
• quarter to 9 o'clock in the morning. He opened it, and
found a child. lie gave information to the authorities.
The coffin was found on the south side, bitween the rafters,
under • tie-beam under the gutter. He did not know
how it came there.
Joseph Tomlinson, another carpenter, gave corroborative
evklence.
Mr. Charles Blackman, IL R.C.S., of High-street, White-
chapel, said that he was called to see the first
body on Monday afternoon last. From the Mate of
decomposition the body wee in he could not say whether
demased had been bore alive. There was no fracture of the
skull oc any bone, and the skin had brims quite tanned.
The longs were also destroyed, and he believed that the de-
mised had been dead from one to two years. He had made
the inspection in conjunction with Mr. Liddell, the medical
officer of health, and he confirmed his opinion.
Mr. John Liddell, the government medial offieer, was ex-
amined, and said he was present when the examination of
the bodies took place. He was of opinion that the child
wee not born alive, and the sex was not distinguishable. It
wee difficult to say bow Wag the child had been dead. He
could not disoover any marks of violence.
Sarah Allen, of 27, Aoteliff -street, Cottage-lane, Stepney,
said that she was married on the 22nd of Arca, 1860. She
gam birth to a still-boon child, and Mr. °wham, wider-
taker, of Mile-mid-toad was employed to bury it. He put
it into • coffin, and carried it away. The child was torn
is March, 1861, and was takes away the some night.
Witness obtained • certificate from Mr. Mahosey, the
surge" who bad attended her in her confinement. flat
certificate was heeded to Mr. °urban). Wither paid Mr.
°wham the money to bury the child, but he had since gouge to
Australia. Witness could not pceeibly identify the man who
carried the body away. Mr. Canham had buried four
children belonging to witaeas. Two were born alive. The
some man took away the still-born child and one which
was born alive. The latter lived five weeks. Mr. Mahoney
attended witness at the births of ell the children, and certi-
ficates were given when they died. Witnees was told the,
the children would be buried at Bow Cemetery, but she
never knew how they were disposed of. When the first
child was buried, she paid V. 2e. 6d. for the interment.
Witness bad not seen the body of the child found in the
coffin which wee marked. The first child had no cap on
when it left her house. It lived five days.
Mr. John Holly, of Orange-row, Chet lotts-atreet, White-
chapel, as undertaker, said that he had had • great
number of funerals in the parish. It was his
contour to bury at Whitechapel Church, mom par-
ticularly still-bore children. Witmer used to forward
the bodies by • man named Smith, who misted at the
church. Witness used to give him half-iterowe, sod directed
him to give it to the sexton, with the certificate. Witness
need to give him something for himself as porter or mes-
senger. It was not the practice to see dill-born children
busied. Had given sours still-born children to Mr. Wil-
kineon, the sexton, bat not later then four years ago.
Witness used to deliver them when he went to Mr. Wilkie-
son. Had not sent any still-born children since the pealing
of the act of parliament for closing the metropolitan church-
Theyard charge differed at the various cemeteries. At
Wests. HAM only ls. was charged ; at Ilford the amp was

for burial. The law snowed such things.

Samuel Wilkinson, of No. 2, Chuich•labe. Whitecbapel,

bat one was from the milli:at; of Dr. Blackmail last
sprig. Had weer received a body from Holly, the

Comer—How many still-born children have you buried
within the last five years!
Witems—About three or four.
(braver—Do you keep the certificates?
Witaam—No, they are destroyed.
By the Canner—When a child was brought a certificate
always erroompaaiert it. Had never buried a child on the
authority of a midwife. The children were always buried
in the churchyard. They were buried in separate graves.
The tee was usually 2.3. 6d. for the burial of a still-horn
child, end if it was the offspring of very pose pergola be
bad buried it for Is. Bd. He always kept the fee. It wag
his duty to take charge of the church and the churchyard.
The keys of the tower were kept in the porch of the church.
The churchwardens bad keys of the churchyard, but not the
key of the church. Could not explain how anyone could
get Into the steeple, an he was usually enpged in various
paste of the church. There were three days when persons
were engaged in clueing the interior of the church. He
had not buried any adult person in the churchyard for five
or six years. The certificates of those were given to the

William Shipman, 79, Quaker-street, Spitalfields, said that
he was steeple-keeper and bellman. He had been employed
there moos the death of Prioce Albert in 1861. Witless

hid bad access to the church since that time when he
wished. Witness used to find the key oo a shelf. ►nd Mr.
Corner, the head bellriager, used to let himes If in at the
frost gate. Sometimes he had gone to ;dr. Wilkinson for
the church key on Sunday mornings. It was generally
about half•past 6 o'clock in the morning when lie went.
He knew the man Smith, who died about two years since.
There had been no gravedigger in the ground mince his
death. Witham bad received 11. per year for keeping the
ground in order. There had been no burials there since be
had been engaged at the chum)). Witness bad never takes
is say mill-born child for burial, nor did he ever see one
brought there.
Walter Varco, a jourreyman undertaker, was examined,
but his evidence merely showed that be bad nest still•bors
children to the deceased man Smith for burial. Witness
saw Wilkinson on any occusioo. The bodies were
seat by Mr. Holly, the undertaker. Smith always received
them, and placed them in ■ sack. Sometimes be would
bring a black cloth. He bad taken as many es four coffins
at one time. He believed that the oodles could not have
been taken in unobserved. It was usual to have a certificate
with the body.
Joseph Comer, the chief bellr;oger, No. 2, Narked.
place, Sishcpegate-street, said that be had been a grave-
digger in various place*. Had Dever buried any still-horn
children at Whiteclispel Church, where he had formerly
bees grave digger. He bad left there three years. He
never knew anything of the burials.
The inquiry at this stage was adjourned, and the Coroner
said be was in hopes that at the next meeting of the jury
some light would be thrown on the mystery which at pre-
sent surrounded the inquiry.

room. She was paralmed partially. and had been afflicted

but not before deceased was dreadfully burnt. She
wore a crinoline, and it bad caused her dress
to extend over the feeder, and it caught firs

same coroner then held an inquest upon the body of
Catherine Breton, 21. who was burnt under similar circum-
stances. Charles Breton, 25. Alb.. t•stneet,Shadwell, said

The dull state of the tallow market which we
noticed in oar repeat of the 28th till, bas contused
out the past week ; and although prices of geedsthrort:

on Friday last, purchases bang but few. the
general inactivity in the demand for all hied' of tallow has
had an important influence on quotations, the more imam&
ate cause of the recent fall is traceable to the apparently
pacific disposition exhibited by the Busies t
with respect to Polish affairs, the prospect d war being
for the present more remote than far some time pest;
and the settlement of the American treeless being
unhappily equally remote, the tallow market is
left to its own resources, and of coons, the pros-
sue of lncresaing stock, with trade so unasuall y dull
as at present, tells with some force on prices, which we
