ADELPHI.

The " Colleen Bawn " was last night reproduced
here with new scenery, dresses, and we may almost
say, a new cast. Mre. Boucicault has been succeded
by Miss Burdett as Eily O'Conner, and Mr. C.
Verner, a gentleman who first appeared some time
ago at Drury Lane, appeared for the first time as
Miles. The whole performance passed off with the
greatest success. The water cave scene, as usual,
producing the most enthusiastic applause.

THE CEMETERY DISCLOSURES AT
SHEFFIELD.

The Rev. John Livesey, incumbent of St. Philip's
Church, Sheffield, appeared yesterday before the
local magistrates, to answer an information charging
him with making false entries in the register of
burials at the Wardsend Cemetery, and with grant-
ing false certificates of burials. The public indig-
nation which the late revolting disclosures has
evoked was directed, from the first, more against
Mr. Livesey, than the sexton, Howard, and yester-
day, the Session's-hall was crowded to excess.
Mr. Gould appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Blanshard, Q.C., instructed by Mr. Tetson, for the
defendant.

Mr. Gould having opened the case, the following
evidence was adduced :

The Rev. W. Marshall, curate of St. Philip's,
Produced the register and proved that the register
of the burial on the 3d of April of Joseph Gretorex
a pauper, who died at the Sheffield Workhouse, was
in the handwriting of Mr. Livesey. Mr. Livesey
bought the burial ground and conveyed it to the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners. He received the fees
for interments there, and he had been incumbent of
the district for 30 years. •
Moses Walton, porter at the Sheffield Medical
School, said—l have been in my present employ-
ment nearly 12 months. Two months after I came
I had to see Isaac Howard, the sexton of St.
Philip's, to make arrangements for the inter-
ment of a dissected body. I arranged with him
to take it from the Medical-hall to the ceme-
tery. On the 10th of March last I took the body
of Joseph Gretorex from the workhouse to the Me-
dical-hall. I saw that body at the Medical-hall
many times subsequently. I had taken it there
by the order of Mr. Barber, the secretary. The
body remained at the Medical School until the
12th of April. It was put in a box by me and
tLowdra. v.0,.d0 N_oward ►nnk the box away
on a wheelbarrow. I had seen Howard at Shef-
field, and given him instructions with regard to
that body, on the 3d of April. I told him to fetch
it from the Medical-hall and take it to St. Philip's
Cemetery. He was to take it there flr burial.
It was not removed on the 3d of April. I did
not see him again until the 12th, when he fetched
the body away. I paid him 6s. when he fetched
the body. The witness also proved that it was
the custom of the Medical Sabo) to pay Howard
13s. for the interment of each body, that sum in-
cluding the usual burial fees and the price of a
coffin or shell.

After some further evidence for the prosecution,
Mr. I•ivesey said,—l reserve my defence. I leave
the case entirely in the hands of counsel.
Mr. Blanshard addressed the Bench at great
length for the defence.
The magistrates committed Mr. Livesey for trial,
but agreed to accept bail in £5OO with sureties.
