ALLEGED MUTINY IN SIR C. NATTER'S SQUADRON.
—Referring to the paragraph in the Express of Saturday
last, headed " Alleged Mutiny in Sir C. Napier's Squadron
at Cork," we are authorised to contradict the allegation,
and to state that the reports alluded to are without any
foundation. We regret having given publicity to the com-
munication of our Portsmouth correspondent.
IMPROPER BURIAL OF TnE:DEAD.—Quite an army
of sextoi.s took possession of the Liverpool Police, court on
Saturday, having been summoned, under the Sanitary Act,
for infraction of that law in the mode of conducting in.er-
meats. The informations were laid by the direction of Mr.
Fresh ; they were fur non-compliance with that clause which
requires that two feet six inches of earth shall be placed on
every coffin immediately after interment. F. Mulligan, the
sexton of St. Anthony's Catholic chapel, appeared, in mower
to one complaint, but contended that the act had been com-
plied with, which transpired to be literally true. It was ex
plained that alter a coffin was lowered to its bed of e st, by
means ot a machine contrived for the purpose, a body of
earth, of the thickness of two feet six inches, was set down,
but only to be raised, en 'muse, when the next interment took
place.—J. Kirkham, sexton of the Wesleyan chapel, admitted
that after two interments in separate graves,no soil except a
small quantity, just sufficient to cover the plate of the coffin,
which was uppermost, was thrown down ; but showed that this
was owing to a misunderstanding on his part, the trustees of
the chapel having instructed him to comply with the act.—J.
Ashcroft, sexton of St. Mary's, Kirkdale, was also sum-
moned. Mr. Rushton, at the conclusion, said the act was of
peculiar construction, and believing they had sinned from
ignorance, dismissed the cases, but warned them to comply
in future with the exact conditions of the law, which was,
that after each interment, earth to the thickness of two feet
six inches be placed over the coffin, to remain undisturbed
until the grave be wanted again. The defendants promised
obedience and departed.
