dismissed from the position he held, as chaplain WO

would be held at the Clarendon Rooms, South John's to
yeiterday afternoon, for the purpose of taking some Sid
to put a stop to the diabolical and disgusting 10860
that had been perpetrated upon tho remains of those #

the future. The advertisement convening the meetlfl
published in each of the Liverpool papers on Saturd3P,
had created A great sensation hi the toy n and Pee

This announcement was deemed conelasive, 1)Y ' r d
that no meeting would be held, and a great lioßbecoose
~, persons who were deeply interested in the sabieet,
quently abstained from attending, particularly as
followed by the following : not
The proprietors of
,the Necropolis are requested to
the trustees at two o clock on Wednesday -next, t,"," V

suggestion of the trustees for its transfer to the
board.—C. M. JONES, Secretary.
Pr'
By whose authority, or by whose dictation, such:0081
cedure was advised, has not yet been ascertained, all di
it is rather broadly hinted that two trustees, to
"glO
their own !disgraceful negligence, in suffering the 760
of the departed to have been thus wilfully desecrated, -004
at the bottom of " the movement,' to prevent Prog
public exposure. Be that as it may, there Wetet tDe
who were determined to express their opinion ,i'

subject, and who would not be deterred pf 11°;04
coming from an (as they conceived) unautliortio
source. Therefore at the hour announced for b°lo4"
the what may. be designated an " indignatient ateetietel
a very large number of persons of both

posted up stating that the meeting was P°s'PA that
That notice was pulled down, and those who conceve;no of

holding a meeting. The next obstacle they had t°oe3,
tend against was that the large room had not been ei)g",ibii
and if a meeting was held, who: was

they would make a subscription to pay for the i?„,°3l'enr°'

the last enquiry before the colnmission ors sop ertiatiacceists tr,at
expressed his opinions as to the diabolical Prac
.had been carried on at the Necropolis, proposed thaigfor
Woodruff should take the chair. He reviewed the r
tices that had been carried on as detailed in theooo
enquiry, and left it for the meeting to decide what c
they would pursue. g 011/
Mr. Hull, solicitor, then rose to explain the reas°%ooo
it had been considered desirable that the meeting s,",erd
be postponed, and why it was necessary that the i:Oral
polls should be placed under the jurisdiction of the P
Board, but his explanation did not accord with t'heto4
ings of the meeting. A scene of, as we underateli
indescribable confusion ensued, but it was ultiu:oeo
decided, to appoint a committee, from the Pave °no tbt
assembled, to confer with the Health Committee, 21' geo
