THE POLICE COURTS.

Mr. King, a builder, FranceiPstreet, Now.
ington, said be was request by Davis, a superannuated
constable to make an application to his worship, revecting
the anatomical. arrangements at St. Thomas's Hospital.
The applicant stated that 110[110 days ago the son of Davis,
a young man 21 years of age, had become an in-dour patient
of St. Thomas's Hospital, having been a severe sufferer from
some internal disease. On the afternoon of Wednesday his
friends were preparing to pay him a visit, when they re-
calved a communiestion from the hospital, acquainting them
of his death. They hastened to the hospital with the inten-
tion of seeing his remains, but this privilege, for some cause
or other, was refused, and they were told that the body
would be sent, or might be taken out in the course of the
evening. This was does, and on the coffin being opesed it
was perceived that the body was perfectly naked and placed
sideways, with one of the arms that had been taken from
the socket along side it, the mouth and eyes quite open,
altogether presenting a very shocking Night.
.Elliott—l suppose the medical officers of the hospital
1114. directed the body.

Mr. King—Yes, sir:
Hr. Elliott—Well, I suppose that is the practice when
patients in the hospital die of any particular disease.
Mr. King—That may be, sir, but I know of as instance
myself when a friend of mine died at • public hospital, and
the medical of of the institution applied to the widow
for her permiadun and sanction to examine the body. The
requird sanction was given, and a poet modem took
place, but the body was sent home in such • state that the
traooB of dissection were scarcely perceptible. Here it is
vastly different.
Mr. Elliott—What was the nature of the disease of which
the deceased died?
Mr. King—An internal abscess, I believe ; and it strikes
me the authorities at the hospital should have made his
friends acquainted with hi■ death sooner.
Mr. Elliott—l shall look over the law on the subject, and
communicate with the medical officers of St.s
Hospital.
