SINGULAR STATEMENT. —At the Marylebone vestry
meeting, held on Saturday, in a discussion which arose
upon the state of the churchyard at St. John's-wood,
Mr. Noades, undertaker, said that on Sundays bodies
were brought into church for funeral service in such a
state that it rendered it exceedingly dangerous for per-
sons to attend service there in the evening. Sir P.
Laurie—That is an alarming statement. How many
bodies are buried in St. John's-wood churchyard on Sun-
days ?—Mr. Noades—From 14 to 22. My men, after
placing bodies in the church, have often to hurry home
and change their clothes, through the frightful state
of these bodies. Sir Peter Laurie—lnstant measures
measures should be adopted to prevent the public attend-
ing service, then, on the evenings of Sunday, otherwise
the most fatal results may be anticipated. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Soden (undertaker) Paid such had been the state of
St. John's-wood churchyard for the last twenty years.
It was a disgrace to' the parish, As the service was per-
formed over the bodies e.t mane, he had seen crowds of
mourning relatives waiting, amidst rain and the severest
weather, nearly three quarters of an hour for the clergy-
man to read the service. Although a fee of 4s. 4d. was
paid for each corpse, he had not seen the Rev. Mr.
Braithwaite in attendpr more than twenty times.

from Flanders to Spain, was driven into Weymouth,
where he landed, and was hospitably received by Sir
Thomas Trenchard, a gentleman of the neighbourhood.
sir Thomas Trenchard apprised the court of the circum-
stance, and in the interim, while waiting for instructions
what course to follow, he invited his cousin Mr. Russell
to wait upon the Prince. Mr. Russell proved so agree-
able a companion, that the Archduke desired him to
accompany him to Windsor. He was then presented to
the King Henry VII., who likewise was so well pleased
with Mr. Russell, that he retained him as one of the
gentlemen of the privy chamber. Being subsequently a
companion of the Prince, he so far ingratiated him.s.T":l
nto his favour, that he got elevated to the peerage and
the title of Baron Russell, of Cheyneys. In the nex
year, 1540, when the Church lands were seized, Henry
gave his favourite the Abbey of Tavistock, with the exteJi -
sive possessions belonging thereto. In the next reign!
Russell's star being still in the ascendant, young Edward
—not 16,—gave him the monastery of Woburn. In
Charles 11. 's time, William, the fifth earl, was made
Duke of Bedford,
