WANDSWORTH.

Mr. Coady, a solicitor, applied to Mr. Daman fora sum-
mons against one of the churchwardens of Batteries, for
removing a corpse in the burial-ground of St. Mary's,
without obtaining a faculty. He said the circumstances
of the case were these :—A child, aged nine years, was
buried in the ground about six weeks ago. The church-
warden, who was the ex-officio chairman of the burial-
board, attended, with reference to certain improve-
ments in the ground, and amongst others he devised
a path to be made. As the path would pass over the
grave of the child, he ordered the body to be exhumed
and buried in another part of the ground. The facts were
admitted, and also that a faculty bad not been obtained,
nor the license of the Secretary of State. The parents of
the child, who were poor people, felt very much concerned
about the removal of the body, and had instructed him to
apply for a summons.
Mr. Dayman thought the person who removed the body
should be summoned.

Mr. Condy said the sexton told him that he was bound
to obey orders of the chairman, as he was only a
servant. _ _

Mr. Dayman said it was like any other case. If a man
were told to do an unlawful act be was not bound to do it.
A suggestion was made to bring an action, but Mr.
Coady said he had taken opinion, and found be could not,
as the parents had no property in the body. The only
remedy was in that court or in the Ecclesiastical Court.
From his experience of the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical
Court, to take the case there would be a tedious affair.
Besides, the parents could not afford to do so.
Mr. Dayman then ordered a summons to issue against
the sexton.

SCSPICIOI7B DEATH OF A WOMAN AT SCAR-
BOROVOR.—Great excitement prevails at Scarborough in
consequence of the apprehension of a Dutch tiaherman on
a charge of murdering a woman, named Sarah Ann Subtler,
with whom he lodged. The deceased was known to be
at home on Sunday night, at about twelve o'clock,
apparently quite well. The Dutchman had not then got
in ; but soon after one o'clock on Monday morning he
went to the house of the deceased's relatives, and knocked
them up with the startling announcement that she was
dead. Rumours respecting the ease were numerous st an
early hour on Monday morning, when it was said,
amongst other things, that deceased was drunk on Sunday
night, and that the prisoner had assaulted her and then
strangled her to avoid the consequences. The case was
entered upon last night before a coroner's jury, who viewed
the body. The evidence brought forward proved; that de-
ceased had not complained, up to twelve o'clock on Sun-
day night, either of illness or ill-treatment from any one ;
yet the body presented evidence of having been much
abused. There were several bruises en the legs, arms and
body. The hair was disordered, and a cap worn by the
woman was found off her head, and two combs were found on
the door. Near these was found a shirt button with a piece
of red cloth attached. On the prisoner being apprehended
it was found that one of hie skirt wristbands was minus a
button ; and the button found corresponded with the
remaining one on his shirt, which was of red and black
cloth. The inference is that a straggle had taken place,
in which the deceased received fatal injuries. The inquest
was adjourned. The Dutchman's name is Henri Vent).
