THE PRICE OF A GRAVE.

A curious tale is told of the large sums demanded
for the burial of a gentleman in Ickham churchyard.
Kent. The undertaker who went to open the
grave where one of his children 109
already buried, was informed that he Blot
pay forty-five guineas for the privilege. After some
demur it was agreed to take half the sum proposed,
but the relations did not feel justified in spending 8°
much. To add to the confusion of the affair, it 19
stated that when the child was buried
the fees were disputed by the parents,
and that a settlement was not come t°'
Whether the former claim was connected with the
extravagant charge for the second interment seems
doubtful, but in any case the story needs espial's'
tion. Nothing can justify the demand for such all
extravagant sum for interment, and of all places to
hold disputes it is surely the worst taste to select
the confines of the grave for bargains and bartering'_.
