The Extraordinary Discovery at Whitechapel

Church.

ADDITIONAL AND LATEST PARTICULARS.

Yesterday morning several persons visited the
shop of Mr. Daniel Bradley, the undertaker, of
Whitechapel-road, to inspect the bodies of the
children and the clothing found• in the roof of the
church, but they could not identify anything, as the
articles were so much decayed.
Mr. Powell, the senior churchwarden, and fore-
man of the jury, gave instructions to Mr. Bradley
to remove the whole of the remains in a large shell,
for burial in the Tower Hamlets Cemetery, Bow-
road, and the interment will take place on Saturday
afternoon next, atter the result of the inquest is
made known.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. John Pownceby, of the
coroner's office, received information of a boy re-
siding in the neighbourho :d of the church, who had
seen the deceased man Smith, the late gravedigger,
carry up small coffins into the belfry on several oc-
casions. This fact will throw some light on the
present mystery which surrounds the case, and
show that Mr. Wilkenson, the bezton, has been
duped out of his fees.
The workmen, under the charge of Ivl.r. Hicks,
the builder, have made further search, but no more
bodies have been found, although the entire rot 4 of
the sacred edifice has been removed.

Many applications have been made by persons to
view the place in the steeple, but the parochial
authorities have ordered the spot to be locked up.

A YOUTHFUL ELOPEMENT,

On Monday (says the Liverpool Courier) the facts were
brought to light of the singular circumstance of a boy and
girl, aged 13 and 14 respectively, having eloped from
Rochdale and arrived in Liverpool, where they had taken
lodgings and cohabited. In the morning a young man
named Heywood, son of Levi Heywood, who lives at a farm
called Japhey's'i,Farm, near Rochdale, arrived her from
that town and gave information to the police that a young
girl who lived with her father had run away from home
with a boy whose father lived in Rochdale, and it was be-
lieved they had come to Liverpool. An officer went out
with the young man to search for the youthful lovers, but
returned without success. While they were out looking for
them, however, Police-constable 96 (Markey), having re-
ceived information of the affair, saw a boy and a girl in
Tithebarn-street, and from the description which had been
given him he at once concluded that they were the erring
ones. The officer asked them in a kindly manner if they
had not come from Rochdale, when the girl, who appeared
to be very shrewd—much more so than her young lover—
replied that they had not come from that place. This an-
swer did not satisfy the officer, who took them aside, and
by minute questioning succeeded in eliciting from the boy
that they had come from Rochdale, and that they had slept
together at a house in Plumbe-street. Finding that the
boy had confessed, the girl also acknowledged the truth of
the story. The boy said his name was Joseph Leech, and
that his father was a plasterer, residing at 75, Whitworth-
road, Rochdale. The girl's name was Mary Dawson, and
she was between 14 and 15 years of age. She said they left
home together on Sunday morning, and she had at that
time 4s, 6d. in her pocket, and that her companion had 56.,
which he had been four years in saying up at a penny bank,
and had withdrawn it for the purpose of leaving home. It
seems that when the girl was only three years of age her
mother died and she was taken charge of by Mr. Heywood,
with whom she has lived ever since. Her father holds some
situation in a woollen mill at Rochdale. The boy was a play-
mate of the girl's, and one of the girl's companions told
young Leech that Maro was going to leave home and run
away. Of course young Joseph could not stand this, so he
determined to go away as well, and having consulted with
her the result was that they determined to go away together.
They left their home on Sunday morning, and having met.
at a previously appointed place they walked to Bolton, and
from thence came to Liverpool. On their arrival here they
took lodgings at the house of T. Douglas, 46, Plumbe-
street, Tithebarn-street, where, in answer to inquiries put
by the woman of the house, they represented that they were
brother and sister, that the boy had come to Liverpool to
get a place in an office or to go to sea, and that the girl
wanted to get a situation of some sort. They then asked if
it would not be cheaper for them both to sleep in one bed,
when the woman replied that it would make no difference
as the girl could sleep with her. After some talk, however,
they said they would prefer sleeping together, which they
accordingly did, Police-constable Markey escorted the two
runaways to the central police-office, where they were de-
tained until six o'clock in the evening, when he saw them
off, in company with young Heywood, in a train for Roch-
dale. They had with them a nice little white poodle dog,
which they left behind them in their excitement.
